I love the production switch in the back third of the song. It adds something interesting that elevates it where it would be kinda boring if the same production and time signature were just kept the whole way through.

I’m really not a fan of this, especially the “imaginary rings” line, it’s so awkward

For some reason, my brain was fully expecting this to sound like Rihanna's 'Fresh Off the Runway". I was a little disappointed.

Awkward? Why? It totally makes sense lyrically and emotionally, based on what she is singing about.

No one is talking about this song anywhere, but I'd argue it's her most heartbreaking, vulnerable lyrics. The way she keeps referring to her relationship as a prison sentence is telling.

Oh, it makes complete sense on paper. I guess “forced” is a better word. It just doesn’t flow well at all for me and it’s quite jarring

This is the grower of the album. I fucking love this one now. Top tier.
