This is a great direction for her but I'd prefer this as an album cut instead of the lead. Still a good song.

Fantastic! Very catchy, strong lyrics, and a great video. Also, this is the best Miley has EVER looked. Brava!

Underwhelmimg as a lead single and it never really progresses anywhere, its still solid but is easily her worst single in a long time since she's been on a roll since Malibu with her singles. Hopefully it grows on me cause this and the mv didn't grab my attention at all.

I’m kind of hoping for something in between Malibu and Nothing Breaks Like A Heart Funny how this turned out to be exactly that. I’m loving it… love the last chorus into the outro especially. Almost wish the outro continued for a little longer and just faded…

this is actually pretty good, but not lead single worthy imo

Her "Midnight Sky" performance in BBC Live Lounge is one of my all time favorites and here she did exactly that. It just hit me.

Falls a bit flat for me. It's a good song. A good album cut. I expected more fireworks for a lead.

Maybe I had higher expectations but this is underwhelming at best. I’m glad she’s back though.

Ok 2nd listen, busted out my better headphones and its definitely going be a grower. I do wish the final chorus had like a key change or something going on cause it definitely gets a bit repetitive, like give us something more during the final chorus.

I like it. It grows with each listen. The song really reminds me of something/does it sample something?

Like it a lot on first listen. Doesn't sound like a hit to me, but whatever.

It’s no “Midnight Sky” by any means but it gets the job done imo. Excited to hear the album in full, and hoping there’s more bangers in the Plastic Hearts type of vein.

I like it! I’m obsessed with the post-chorus section though I do wish it had a bit more of an oomph, especially towards the end. Midnight Sky gave me LIFE.
While this might not be explosive, I think this is literally tailor-made for radio. If Pop and HAC can play Harry (at an unnecessarily excessive level) then they shouldn’t have any problem spinning this as often. This is literally Harry Styles but in a Miley way.

I like it. It's understated but pleasant enough.
I know big explosive pop isn't "in" right now but I sure do miss it.

This is really good, and that video is a mood. A love letter to LA for sure, love it.

I’m a casual fan of Miley’s music and I really like this. A lot. Does it sample or interpolate (if that’s the right word) the violins in Gloria Gaynors “I Will Survive”??? I can see where it could be a grower for some and people being disappointed as well but this was instant for me. Wow, pleasantly surprised. From some of the reviews on here I thought it was going to be a slower tempo.

This is a monster (looking forward to the "wow this grew on me"s). Video elevates it even higher.

Yeah, this is definitely a cross between When I Was Your Man and I Will Survive lyrically, with some really solid soft-rock production to boot. I should also mention that Miley sounds as great as ever on this, and hallelujah, FINALLY a somewhat upbeat lead single from a big-name artist that isn't way too short in duration!
Hoping Columbia gives this the opportunity to smash in a way that RCA couldn't for any of the singles from her previous era.

I can definitely hear a bit of "I Will Survive" in this. I think it's pretty good. Curious to see how it performs.
