I don't know if I would call it a bad song, but there's nothing notable or interesting about it. It's an unimaginative, uninspired rehash of every club dance song released in the past couple years.
Really, with the quality of the song being as it is, even 1 post of someone saying they were looking forwards to it would've made it overhyped. I'm not here for an average album track being released as the lead single.
Was it? I think it's pretty good. A fun radio-club pop song. But then I don't really listen to Kesha outside of singles and I think it's kind of ludicrous to have high artistic expectations of an act of her caliber so ymmv.
yes tbh, but they had to otherwise no one would of been excited for it and it would of flopped plus its definetly far from a BAD song, its just they made it out to be so different to anything on the radio right now and its the complete opposite
Really? California Gurls, Born This Way, Only Girl and We Found Love beg to differ. She needs to make sure people knows shes back and she does well on the charts. She can release something more different next time.
You thought WFL wasn't experimental at all? Releasing a electro house song that relied nearly completley on production, when nobody had ever put a song like that in the mainstream before? Interesting...
How was it overhyped? The Ke$ha fans are the only ones who have been talking about her first single all year, but for the most part a majority of ATRL didn't even care about her until the song premiered.
Don't even try pulling the "reinvention of pop music" card out. She's not going to comeback after nearly 2 years and release some obscure, psychedelic masterpiece as the first single. She even said "it’s not going to be some avant-garde jazz record. I innately write pop songs. That’s just what I do." What did you people honestly expect from her? The record as a whole will show musical progression. To an extent, so does "Die Young". The arrangement and instrumentation is a different approach from what she did before. People just had the wrong impression and didn't read into what she said enough.
