Both of those songs have that signature charm and spark in Gwen's vocals. Here, that sound is kind of missing, but for me, it doesn't take anything away from her comeback. I'm addicted to this song.

Yeah, I think her and Britney are the best when it comes to pull off pop songs with charm, energy and vocal imprint.
Yet the song is nor bad or good imo, it's nice background music but far from what she's capable of. I prefer the Fergie one, good flow and nice summer vibes...

it's just...dull. There's no pizzazz there. Even though I don't like either of them, Roar and AABTB just have that true earworm quality that this lacks - those songs just have that undeniable penchant for sticking in ones head against their damn will. Like, I just listened to this an hour or two ago and can barely remember what it sounds like. It's just unremarkable overall. I'm not saying I hate it, it just sounds like top 40 white noise to me.
