Love this forum willing this song to be better than what it is.

It’s cute, will be another nice smash for her but not quite the career defining hit others are trying to make out. Personally I think she could have gone a bit harder on all areas to pull herself out of the Future Nostalgia era and into the next.

This is the most interesting ride this thread/board has been in a while, honestly. Dua has caused conversation ranging from “Song’s not that good!” to “ugh jack harlow” to “Tate Mcrae stealing her thunder?” to “But Girls Aloud!!!!” to “What if Miley Cyrus—“ to “Jess Glyne”.

Shes keeping the lights on at PopJustice. The new Gaga confirmed!

*Someone says something about Dua's song that isn't glowing praise*

Everyone: Omg why is the energy in this thread SO WEIRD, like why do y'all HATE Dua???

(It's ok if people don't think it's her best ever song, it doesn't mean we hate the song or Dua)

Yeah, to me the song feels much weaker than any of her future nostalgia singles. I absolutely love the mood of the instrumental (especially towards the outro) but the song kinda feels a bit faceless.

Once I’m halfway through, I’d rather play “Cool” nn; this either needed more fleshed out lyrics or the variation in production should have kicked in sooner.

Inshallah in an ideal world the song will linger around the top 5/ top 10 in the UK chart, never quite leaving the top 10 entirely over the next few weeks. It’ll let all the Xmas songs pass by and stand its ground that by the first or second week of Jan it rockets up to number 1 where it belongs.

"Sweet Melody" <3

After Ava, Bebe and Rita...it's finally her turn to flop.

I'm aware it can't be called a flop yet, but I'm glad to see that she isn't doing as good as expected...you are on the right path Dula.

That guitar solo towards the end of the song is so cunt. It's really for the girls who get it x

My coworker was like I'm obsessed so I sent her the N***i_Obsessed meme and she keeps playing it. It's coming.

So happy she found time in her busy schedule to fit in a vacation.

I think the song is good and I enjoy it when I’m hearing it… but it’s also a song that I don’t have a burning desire to listen to. I’m curious what’s in store on the album cuz Houdini sounds more like a 3rd single than a 1st.
