The chorus is very catchy. I really like it, but I think I need time for it to grow on me more. There were some moments where her head voice sounds a bit like Gaga.

I understand what you say about Gaga. Is it because we are so used to Bloodpop working with Gaga, that we just associate his work with her?

It does sound like a mashup of gaga and Carly Rae Jepsen. To be exact, Sour Candy and Now That I Found You. I like it.

Bloodpop is one of the worst producer... This song is horrible.. Rina is talent.. She shouldn't waste her time with this trash

[WildAmerican]

not Bloodpop... Like the song, but he hasn't done Gaga or Rina any favors....

Oh no, I meant the tone of her head voice reminds me a lot of Gaga's.

The song is cute but I hope Rina doesn’t try to make EDM style songs and uses her voice the way she has on Sawayama. This song could’ve used a better chorus and less music breaks.

I love love love Rina, we all know this, but this song is tame for her. It could be because it's two years old, was written in 2018, but it seems tame and boring in comparison to her album. Hopefully this isn't the path she's taking, I need more metal/industrial sounds from her. Not more watered-down EDM. 

[Elvira]

It's cute, but sounds like... music for retail stores? I don't know. Like those dated pop tracks you don't mind being played in the ambient while buying socks, but you don't really know who's singing and you don't know the words, and you feel like you've heard it before but it could be any other song, you know what I mean? 

[Tana Mongeau Pronounshe/him]

Definitely not her strongest release, but I think it's probably more palatable for the general public and that's probably what her label wanted. Hopefully her whole next project isn't like this.
