What are your thoughts? Is it a classic or does it insist upon on itself?

Let’s talk about it

was a bop from the jump

music video cringefiltered a lot of ppl but that s*** slapped

Video is incredible. A lot of people started to turn on it, but that s*** was insane when it dropped and people couldn’t stop talking about it

Obviously the lyrics aren’t anything special, but the video was always supposed to be the main appeal for that track

Also the production on that song is INSANE

Was cool for like 2 weeks then got insufferable. Song mostly depends upon the video

Also a music video hasn’t had a bigger impact since then, but no one will want to admit that

Song f***ing sucks ngl

Always hated it since first listen its very bad

i like this song!

Music videos as an art form are kinda in the 2020s (not entirely, but for the most part) so i'd have to agree

On some level i just don't care about music videos at all these days

I miss the blog era, i miss the DIY/lower budget/more involved era

Classic video
Song always banged, insane beat

Good song, white people hate it which makes it even better

feel like the song is overhated

hate and outrage breed engagement

The worst part about this song and video is he kind of fumbled the rollout after this

He had this song and video and also Feel Like Summer which to me was an amazing moment in itself

Then he had the film with Rihanna which I think brought the music together well, it had Saturday and a great version of Feel Like Summer and all that

But then he didn’t do an album with that and waited until the untitled/Atavista project. And included Feel Like Summer but not a lot of the other stuff that helped build that era. Very weird and jarring. And I still like Atavista for what it is but I adore the Guava Island set of tracks

Ppl pretended to like this song because the music video got acclaim

The intro song was fire lol

Its super duper mid

A revolutionary piece misunderstood by the thrill-seeking masses.

i think this is around the time his dad passed if i remember him right plus on top of that he was doing Atlanta / Lion King / Star Wars

bro was all over the place

Yeah I get it, there’s always circumstances around things like this but it’s still a shame artistically

I think this single would’ve held up better if it was included on an album, Guava Island deserved more shine and honestly if he was able to put that together with all the music in it I wish he just dropped the album together with that film to put more of a stamp on it

I feel like no one even really engaged with the film like that in real time, which is sad too. I hold it really high.

Good song

I don’t like symbolism (in the video and broadly speaking) although I agree with the sentiments put forward

It’s obviously not literally the same but it has the same air of corniness as the marvel movie Easter egg fan service end credits scene kind of stuff that’s so on the nose

Its just so obvious and boring, everything is spoon fed

But yeah I like the song

proudly always a hater of this

The part of the song where it’s sza and him on the cars at the end is perfect

Cool social trending moment

Dope statement moment

Nice video art

But the song itself is a one listen classic

Cacs were bumping ts like they solved racism
