Worth It (feat. Iamsu) for: Providing this iconic already section with a worthy name
Ok, when I was saying this was not my song of choice to carry on Amethyst’s flag I was NOT calling for its elimination. If you’ve been keeping track: it’s real, 3 back to back eliminations from fourth mixtape, meaning that it’s our second release out. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting it. I thought it would’ve gotten much more love. It’s her second best mixtape after all. That being said, apart from Wrong (still jelly about that), I don’t think there’s a particular standout track to root for, it’s more of a whole affair. But more on that later on.
The song is kind of hilarious, in that it almost feels like it wants to outAquarius Aquarius. I mean, it sounds more watery than all the tracks on the album combined. It even features a horn section playing the chorus of the title track for fuck’s sake. She’s so adorably extra. The lyrics are also kind of a scream. “Ordinary Monday / Lunch with Alicia”. What kind of surreal banality. “We the best we the best we the best / We the best in the west”. What kind of geographical relativism. You better stan hard for K-pop sis.
Ah, and there’s also Iamsu. A bit on the bland side to be honest.
Y’all went Nancy Drew on this one. Or I shamelessly stole your intellectual property for my write-up. Nah, would never do something like that. We start off with nikkysan (9), swept off by the eleganza of that sweepingly elegant coda: “That outro of the saxophones playing Aquarius... I love that so much.” If you’re wondering, yes, I’m using random Italian words that you think you know the meaning of but you really don’t. I don’t need much to have fun really. Other sax praise from easy peasy lemonsqueezyy (9): “The “lunch with Alisha” line and the sax solo at the end got it up there in the ranks with me.” God I should have used that ages ago it was so easy peasy lemonsqueezyy.
But there’s one question that keeps us up at night. Who is Alicia, phily??? (9) “Who the fuck is Alicia?” I don’t know, ask @2014 “And why is she so lucky to have lunch with this queen? This would be a lovely, long interlude on Aquarius or even a nice bonus track.” Still better than How Many Times though. But wait, there’s someone who doesn’t agree with the general consensus??? What’s up, Touchofmyhand (8.5) “I'll say it: the sax solo was completely unnecessary. She does this more often than not.” I should not be trusted in this, because I excessively love when there’s instrumental parts that are a reprise of the vocal melody, and to do that a whole album apart. Who does that shit? What about Alicia? Definitely not her. Now I’m straight up ranting, back to our sensible commenters. Or maybe not. constantino (9) brings up absolute nugus: “Fifth Harmony are shook. The dripping noises trigger my bladder but I don’t even mind. The rap verse is great and fitting to the song. Oh and the sax at the end makes my buss flutter like no other instrument.” Et tu Posh Spears (9): “OOOH that production is delish. Fifth Harmony who?” I’m sure our girl Tinashe would find it immensely offensive to be compared to them. Or maybe not (2). Anyway, we close off with TRAVVV (10): “Ordinary Monday, Lunch with Alicia is one of my favorite opening lines EVER.” Let’s hope they enjoyed their meal this afternoon.
