Hazey's Focus: There isn't a lot for me to say about this song that I didn't already say when I introduced Dove to everyone. Dove just has a bunch random TV show/movie appearances songs to her name and a lot of them were going to do much worse than this did. I'm actually kind of proud of how long this held on. It's a shame she hadn't put out a real single before this rate, but the power of "I'll stand up now!...and won't back down!" should've been enough to grab a new fan or two.
With
@Mina (5) calling it
"trite" I expected a much lower score. I think I'd have to re-watch the video to understand what
@Martyn (5.75) was referring to:
"What exactly are they threatening to show me?"
@iheartpoptarts (3) chooses to go after the accompanying vocalists in the video:
"It was going to get a decent score until that kid started rapping. Meanwhile, that lollipop has to be the best makeshift microphone I’ve ever seen." Yeah, it's definitely better than the comb I use. We'd a need a time machine if we wanted
@Sally_Harper (5) to stan:
"If I was about 11 I’d love this, which sounds more insulting than I mean it to." Age should never apply to whatever music moves you, but werk. This is probably the same place
@31entrance (7.75) was coming from though when they said:
"I actually like the message of this song and while the song itself isn’t bad, I wouldn’t listen to it constantly." This is me in any rate with a bunch 'woke' or artistic but boring songs when I give out the low scores. Let me copy this and paste in those rates.
Now @Mina finally loses a 0.

Info: This technically Victoria's solo debut single, but I'd consider the 'Victorious Cast' singles hers and always have. This was supposed to be part of the debut album Victoria teased in 2012, but it never came to fruition. Tove Lo is a notable writer of the song.
Hazey's Focus: Loved this when I first heard it, but that love has waned over the years. I still enjoy it for a spare play here and there, but it's certainly no Britt Nicole, who's song I always think of instead. Right
@Sprockrooster (6)?
"Very Britt Nicole sonically, but nothing on the 'Gold' from her." Though Victoria has some bops that I've stanned for harder than almost anything from Britt, Britt has a much stronger singing voice.
@Mina (0) is like one of those Real Housewives calling out another Real Housewife in some club on a Friday night with a bunch of bouncers holding her back:
"This looks and sounds like one of those songs a Real Housewife would make to promote her desperate and misguided singing career." @Sally_Harper (2) wanted to stay out of the catfight but at some point she just couldn't keep it together:
"It was going reasonably well until she started going “IIIIII’m GUH-OLD, GUH-OLD”, and then the second verse was somehow even more terrible than that."
@Martyn (6.75) reveals the minimum score you need to get in order to get plays on his radio station:
"I'd stick this on a playlist." Meanwhile,
@soratami (7) almost had me redacting this comment but needs to have their mouth washed out:
"This… sounds like a Jessie J song." I guess you'd know then. xx
@WhenTheSunGoesDown (8) and
@iheartpoptarts (8) look back with sad eyes at what could've been:
"I don’t understand why this bop flopped so hard, it’s a cute low-key bop. Maybe it was the heinous bridge? RIP her career." //
"Whatever happened to her pop career? I think she deserved another shot at it. I mean, everybody peaks with the second single anyway." Yas, she was perfect when I came to basic bops, especially her first two on Victorious. Even her other TV/film ventures have been mostly flops. R.I.P. indeed.
@unnameable (10) will have everyone wondering if their an Iggy stan after this:
"I love this song, and find the white-girl-rapping endearing rather than annoying."
