Always thought it was an absolute bop personally although it repeats itself, better than like 70% of the content on Starboy

When he hits that note on "but I want youuuuu to staaayyyy"

Dope song imo never really got the hate

nothing with Abel is that bad

i don't think Abel has ever made a song close to bad.
even my least liked tracks are good

people didn’t like this?

When it dropped on og ktt it got criticised to f***

I think people were bored of him 'making the same song' which is a comment I sorta understand when applied to this... Starboy/Hurt You/Lost in the Fire all follow a very similar pattern

Not me though, always thought it was a great track even if it is Abel playing it kinda safe

I'm impressed women managed to make this song about gay conversion

they don't follow a similar pattern at all to me. french drums don't make songs sound the same.i made a comparison few weeks ago.
that's like saying f***ing all of classical music sounds the same just because it has instruments

I was more so echoing what people said, I mostly disagree as well, although there are defo similarities between Hurt You & Lost in the Fire but not enough to make me dislike either track (although Hurt You probably weakest off MDM)

oh yes i remember that now

i mean... the song does sound kind of similar to Hurt You. but my response to that is so? lot of other artists we could be complaining about making the same song over and over again for full albums

It's alright
Some of the shots at Drake were cool
But the f***ing-you-straight thing was really cringe

Coming off Starboy people were rightly worried about his future as an artist, and the repetition of similar sounding songs with Hurt You and then Lost in The Fire got people worried about his next album just playing it safe again

Hindsight a wonderful thing tho

Then he damn went and dropped another classic

After Hours AOTY

Its so.good

I liked it I don't mind the drum pattern on this song too much.

i can't lose you babe

One of my most listened tracks last year

every song on after hours is better than it

and for all the ppl in this thread saying "french drums don't mean all the songs are the same xD" are missing the point, the reason why ktt users were s***ting on him for using those drums again was that it had become redundant at this point (he had already re-used similar patterns on Pray For Me and Hurt You); and guy was clearly milking that sound he found on Starboy for all of its worth. it was a clear cash grab

NOPE s*** slaps

Hating asses tryna act like this was an album cut or sum s***

I also like how sloppy his verses sound

funny how you think Abel is a greedy a****** lmao.
he makes plenty of money regardless. as far as im concerned he can make the music he wants

Not bad but he can do a lot better, sounds like a MDM leftover

Loved the melody of the chorus; hated the lyrics

I just want a baby with the right one

Cause I could never be the one to hide one

I still f***s with it.

yeah it’s not good

no

how in the f*** does it sound even remotely close to MDM apart from Hurt You (still a reach)
