I still can't believe they just cut the song and tacked on that terrible outro, lol. The way the song just dies, a bridge with some harmonies and a final chorus THEN an outro would have took this up two letter grades.
This streaming era just ain't for me, so much lazy music/songwriting. You mean to tell me not a single one of the 13 writers could come up with anything?

Awe why did it stop so abruptly? Tim definitely could've extended it another few seconds or so. I like it overall though. Def Jam? Did someone get a new deal?

I really like this and I think Justin’s description of it was pretty on point. I feel like it could have hit a little harder, but that’s probably because I’m comparing it to their first collaboration together. Yes, it could have been a little longer, but that’s the trend now a days…. I’m definitely not disappointed by it though and will be bopping to it for a bit.

This feels like scraps from several leftover Timbaland records were pieced together. I wished I liked it more than I do. Still hype for Nelly's comeback though and if this gives her a boost in any positive way, then it was worth it.

Nothing groundbreaking here but this is pleasant. Not enough Nelly though.

I liked this, but I agree with others it was a bit mid. As a few others have also mentioned, the ending was very abrupt, which I didn’t care for. I wouldn’t mind if it became a hit, but I don’t think it will. At least in terms of the pop charts, this seems like the kind of song that will peak in the #16-25 range.

I'd be here for it to peak in the top 20, honestly that would be a huge feat for Nelly so I would count it as a positive. I actually like the song - its nothing amazing but as a way of announcing "Hey I'm back" this coupled with Eat Your Man has Nelly really getting some diverse exposure for her true comeback.

Wow was it not sent to Rhythmic? This has such bad playlisting in the US though, their previous collabs actually still do well on streaming (and it's top 3 on iTunes even if that means nothing now) how come they couldn't get some big Spotify spots etc for the debut at least? I'm aware prob no one expects a song by them to smash in 2023 and they haven't had new hits in ages but they're still big/recognizable names ??? seems like a missed opportunity not to go all in, especially with a song like this which feels like a grower if it gets proper attention

I'm okay with this for the nostalgia aspect. I loved Timbaland as a producer and Nelly deserves a comeback after she capsized her career with "Big Hoops." Justin can go away.

I can’t imagine the core demographic of pop getting into this.
Disney Radio will be loving it.
Oh, and yeah. It’s as vanilla as you get.

When did the "core demographic of pop" radio become edgy or something?

Not unpleasant, not great either. Don't really see the point? Leave it in the past!

I will be the unpopular opinion but, I actually enjoyed this a lot and the chorus got stuck in my head easily.

This is kind of mid, but I also thought the same exact thing about their original collaboration and then it grew on me massively. I am nostalgic for Timbaland's production too lol.
