A few bulletpoints:

• Dr. Puke, "alleged" rapist, produced and co-wrote it.
• The lyrics are bad. Period. That's it.
• It's very male gazey. So was "California Gurls," but that was a better song,

everything about how this has been received and is performing has redefined what it means to "flop". i don't think i'm being hyperbolic here, but this is quite literally the biggest fumble and bomb in recent pop music history. bionic is a huge success compared to this.

she spent a month promoting this to her 300,000,000+ IG and twitter followers and then when she dropped, less than 1% of those followers on a global scale tuned in for a single stream.

we now know she along with her team thought this was going to be a big hit because she went running back to dr. luke. i just don't understand how you get everything THIS wrong. the song isn't even charting on the spotify global charts after day ONE. oh, my god.

i think it's more fair to compare witness and bionic because witness at least had some passably good songs on it and bionic was ahead of its time.

you can't expect a formerly virulent racist little monster to have perspective about the bionic era

[peddlestools]

i... did not know that about them

[mayjailer]

yeah, idc about them enough to extend much energy but pepperidge farm remembers!

[mayjailer]

bionic had a top three debut and "not myself tonight" debuted in the top 25 lol

I was just thinking this. Like, this feels almost worse than Witness. And the controversy didn't even help with charting. It's going to debut at like #70
