ya they really went:

• let's go for a safe choice for the single
• no long intro like TMB, start singing from the jump
• earworm melody

and let's go

if this hits #1, they really are genius

Let the record show I love this song......when this s*** blows up

we shoulda never let him lose to gunna

also thinking back to this point, its crazy how everything went soooo f***ing succesful for the after hours roll out. he was on fire

they fault

This is not true. There is a thread you can still access on here of people s***ting on it when it dropped and saying it was gonna flop.

The song fell on Billboard for months and didn’t reach #1 until after the album dropped

especially w the pandemic

Well that s*** bombed the first weeks in the US, mfers on here were making threads on here clowning the song and it’s billboard performance until it blew up like 4 weeks later

The Daft Punk like ‘Indescribableeee’s in the background

I like it.

blinding lights was definitely not loved on first listen, this gonna be revisionist history bruh

Taylor dropped a remix

yeah, niggas hopped on the bandwagon when it started sky rocketing on the charts from france to australia to f***ing antarctica

Yeah, it wasn’t.

It was s***ted on and fell on the charts for months.

It finally reached the top ten in its’ 12th week

remix for a song not charting high, no real threat... but we dont know if her rabid fans will buy it like crazy

That's exactly my point. It's generic slop that anyone could make. Maybe I hold The Weeknd to a higher standard then yall? Or maybe yall are just stans that can't be honest. The Weeknd's pop stuff isn't my favorite from him but he still makes quality pop usually. This is not quality pop music and easily his worse lead single. It's in the same tier as this slop

Nah fr I just listened to this and TMB back to back. No breathing room at all in DITF the song immediately gets going

S*** catchy asl, idk if it'll go 1 but we'll see

i lived long enough to see tory lanez eclipse the weeknd

taylor who?

I think it’s guaranteed to debut at #1.

How long it stays there, or in the top ten, is the true question

oh ok my bad then. maybe im just too much in the xo fanbase cause i swear we loved it here, dont know too much about the general opinion on it

aight bro

6/10 song

Maybe my opinion will change

Not bad. Not great.

brother this is 10000 times better than one right now

the backing vocals on the last chorus are crazy
