I'm becoming... less optimistic about this. Kim it's not too late to replace this with the soundcloud fan version...

Not the Barbz commenting โdeleteโ en masse :dead:
Yeah, we all wanted a fun song. The โride itโs are grating. Trap pop Kim is famously not the most beloved Kim

That production on the verses sounds so 2019, like I'm about to start singing Without Me. I don't hate the clip but the song just sounds average so far, they probably should've just remixed brrr at this rate.

The full version L-worded on twitter... It's not *as* big of a disaster as I thought, but it's not good. Nicki's verse is very mid and Kim's verses are just dead and flat. The sample is really all it has to offer. She really could've make this into the next I'm Good and gotten another global hit... talk about fumbling your own bag. Hopefully they're seeing the reactions and making last minute tweaks.

this is a BOP, I'm so sorry to say I will be streaming. it gives off major Clarity era Kim vibes, and Nicki's verse is solid. it's also a full 3-minute song. finally! I live, congratulations miss petras  |

A solid 3-minute bop. Nickiโs feature clears once again! Will have this on repeat all weekend.

The chorus feels like itโs building to something and never does, which gets on my nerves. Nicki tore it up tho, one of my favorite of hers in a minute

I like it! A very solid pop jam. The sample definitely wasn't overused either๐. Nicki's verse reminds me of "Beauty and A Beat".

Final version much better than the leaks. But it still needed a drop and an explosive final chorus. Feels like itโs building up to a climax that never arrives. Oh well, I think this will be a cute hit!

This is not good. The hook is really grating and gets old fast. The verses fall flat hard, and spoil any pay off from the sample

I like this.
I feel like the โride it, ride itโฆโ lines were pretty lazy, and I would have loved to have heard Nicki sing the pre-chorus after her verse, but otherwise issa bop and Iโll be using it all summer.

My only issue with it is Kim's vocals are... too loud? Like she's shouting or they're too forward in the mix.
Otherwise it's catchy and Nicki's verse slides ride in. I like that it samples a well known dance song, but strips it back. Female dance/pop is not where it's at in terms of streaming and radio, so I think it's wise they went in that direction. I feel like any established female artist could get a big hit with this, so I'm curious if Kim can turn that "Unholy" momentum into something.

I really enjoyed this. Love the sample, catchy lyrics, and Nicki once again kills it with her verse. Both artists had big #1 hits last year, so hopefully they can continue that momentum with this. And I canโt wait to hear the remixes to this.

I love it! I think its a grower.
it's weird that on top of all the other samples and covers of 90s songs that have just come out (David Guetta, Rita Ora), Jonas Blue has also covered this song and made it the latest single, called Crying On The Dancefloor ... and its good!

Hook slaps, verses will grow on me with repeat listens. Do wish it went full damce-pop but im not mad at it tbh, it turned out better than I anticipated.
Now please let this be a HIT.

KIIS kicked off the 10am hour with this for New Music Friday. I like it, but I just feel like I need more of a beat. Really looking forward to whatever remixes come out in the coming weeks!

I really like this. Not sure how it'll do in the US, but I can see it doing really well in Europe.
