She's half-naked... I mean, the producer did a fantastic composition and she sings it really well, but I wouldn't exactly say her videos getting millions of views is a recognition of her music at this point.

[@footballholic_R10]

@@___xyz___ that's a half baked reason to criticize the quality of her music. Music labels promote artists that are far more objectified and promiscuous-looking, and the real reason she isn't doing those same numbers is because she likely doesn't have the financial backing and resources that a major label provides. Stream numbers are heavily inflated when a company wishes it so.

Genius? But it's just a basic 4 cord progression that's in harmony with the hook? It's no Issac Hayes happening here....

[@wukong2282]

@@rosaunolalintino genius displays exceptional creative productivity, universality in genres, or originality, typically to a degree that is associated with the achievement of new discoveries or advances in a domain of knowledge. I wouldn't say rehashing perhaps one of the most used progressions in pop music over the last half century qualifies. Maybe when the Beatles did it on Elenore Rigby. Def when Issac did it with greater complexity and originality on Walk on By but not here. You can like the song but it's nothing creatively innovative. Neither was Hey Ya but I still enjoyed it.
