[PercyPig]

 

[Kratz]

It’s proper WARBLER too

Terrible

 

[GNL]

Quite an unpleasant vocal.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I kinda like it.

Wasn't it touted as a tribute to Chadwick Boseman? Who was expecting a tits out EDM banger with that description?

 

[Inner Smile]

Shocking

 

[Inner Smile]

Will listen now

 

[Inner Smile]

Ooh I don't know actually, I think it might be good

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Is it too soon to say I prefer the Geru version

 

[Inner Smile]

It's time to listen to Rude Boy

 

[VoR]

The way the hype for this died the MOMENT it was released

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Getting my early prediction in now that it will not topple Hold My Hand as song of the year.

LOVE BEING PROVED RIGHT

 

[RJN]

What kind of mental gymnastics do I need to do to convince myself:

1. That I like this OR
2. That’s it’s just a buzz single

 

[Apoca]

A ballad called "Lift Me Up" being the first tease?

Does this mean her NOT MYSELF TONIGHT and BIONIC era is incoming?

 

[Pipo]

We were warned y'all!

 

[Devil]

Ok I’m sorry but I think this is rather good

I’m not a major Riri ballad fan (only Russian Roulette for me, and that took about 12 years), but this is a nice little track.

Tits out banger next please, but for a soundtrack this is fine.

 

[Pipo]

It's time to listen to Rude Boy

now that's a Chadwick Boseman tribute that was waiting to happen

 

[Pipo]

Ok I liked it, as a buzz single I guess it's fine? I don't think she'll ever do pure pop again (like many others have turned their back on it ).

As far as movie soundtracks go this is miles better than Hold My Hand

 

[RS]

Judging by that Spotify preview it’s not too horrible. The tube is rather pleasant tune, the vocals less so.

 

[Jark]

Ok I liked it, as a buzz single I guess it's fine?

it's not for her album!

anyway good vocal but this is very boring.

 

[POP!]

Oh tm @Suedey

 

[OutSynk]

She doesn't give a single fuck about her music career anymore does she.

 

[Art Decade]

 

[K.C.]

This isn't even bad, but I hate it when manufactured pop stars try to be 'creative'. People acting like she's some kind of Mozart.

I'm fine if she never comes back. I bought one of her night robes. It's lovely.

 

[Mats]

this is a commissioned end credit soundtrack song, right? what were people expecting? the album will bring it

 

[jivafox]

It should have stayed at the end credits.

 

[POP!]

 

[POP!]

Early predictions suggest it may debut at #2 on the Hot 100, presumably behind "Anti-Hero".

EDIT: This has been called too premature. Although it also had an insane opening at radio due to some deal.

 

[Pipo]

I really like this. I needed a SULTRY ballad to finish 2022 off and this is THE one.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

LIFT me UP rank:

1. Xtina
2. Geru
3. Rih

 

[Pipo]

This David Guetta erasure though!

 

[funky]

I'm sorry but WHAT IS THIS SHIT?

When you go away for so long you forget what a BEAT is...

 

[ButterTart]

Well, this is shit. I told her releasing 84 songs a week from 2007 to 2010 would mean she'd run out of donks later in life, but would she listen?

 

[RJN]

You know what song is a BOP? Man Down

 

[GNL]

You know what song is a BOP? Man Down

You're bopping? She just shot a man down in Central Station in front of a BIG OLD CROWD and you're bopping.

 

[RJN]

You're bopping? She just shot a man down in Central Station in front of a BIG OLD CROWD and you're bopping.

Have I never mentioned that I’m pro-murder?

 

[Diddy]

Have I never mentioned that I’m pro-murder?

I guess after the new anti-abortion legislation we have to get our liberal bloodlust satisfied somewhere

 

[Pipo]

Guess I'll die on this hill alone.

She's never gonna go back to making the music she did between 2006-2016. I hope I don't eat my words soon. *releases an EDM banger collaboration with Alok featuring Sigala and Imanbek*

 

[Jark]

Guess I'll die on this hill alone.

She's never gonna go back to making the music she did between 2006-2016.

but the music she made 2012-16 was nothing like 07. I think it'll be in roughly the Anti lane when it comes.

 

[Art Decade]

Surely it's all timed so that whichever new single gets a Super Bowl push on February 12th is doing the rounds while she would perform this one at the Oscars on March 12th and then has the kind of saturation for an album release somewhere around then.
