The way this man effortlessly gets away with his toxicity through his vocals is legendary

true but hey - the other party isn’t innocent as well

This song is 100% a grower. Listened to it 3 times today and it gets better every time. The production by SHM is awesome and such a cool collaboration to add to both parties. Abel's lyrics have a really understated tone but are really toxic which is why I find him so incredible. Can already tell this album is gonna be fire.

[@IlCanaleDegliEroi]

As a Swedish House Mafia and The Weekend's fan, I can say that this song easily sums up the new "wave" of the EDM trio and, also, the "dawn" phase Abel has approached us into. For the old SHM fans, this new style may sound too "pop" or commercial but coming back together after almost 10 years it's a big process and bigger things will come (I still consider their new songs brilliant and addictive); Abel instead easly nailed it with his vocals (lyrics are good too). Would love to get and extended version or a remix of this song, would be a good banger in every club

[@samilsaygili]

You summarized it greatly, can't wait for the next steps of both of their career. Fingers crossed for the extended version, they released one for Take My Breath

[@renehopkinson5079]

There is something so pure and magical about the dark side of him when hes in this zone and delivering vocals this good, SHM did not disappoint with production although i agree with jon and would say that there was potential to make it more expansive but part of me likes how its held back. Absolute 10/10 banger for me, i needed this kind of abel back in my life even if its just a feature i dont care, it sounds incredible.

[@horstballer2694]

Because some people here might not be familiar with Swedish House Mafia or the EDM scene at all, I would like to enlighten you: SHM is a trio which consists of Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso and Steve Angello and these three ruling the EDM scene like over a decade and gained some sort of Gods/Legend status in the scene. At their peak in 2013 the group break up and all 3 of them started to focus on their solo careers. In 2014 Axwell and Ingrosso decided to move on as an Duo with Axwell^Ingrosso which was very successfull with hits like "More Than You Know" and "Sun is Shining". Steve Angello went on solo and focused more on a much more Indie and Darker Sound. In 2018 SHM reunited and released 2 other Singels besides "Moth To A Flame" in last months which will be part of their comeback Album "Paradise Again" wich will come out in 2022. So SHM are much more than just "Don‘t You Worry Child" and a One Hit Wonder as said by some in the comments.
