It's one of Nicki's best pop songs but it flopped. Why?

Because the night was old.

Lack of promotion, and she's not really into pop anymore IMO

Beyond basic PF:RR leftover

Because it's not 2012 anymore :/
I can't at her thinking this would smash in 2015 but totally snubbing Va Va Voom in 2012 smh

it isn't good - I didn't see it smashing anyway.

Her single choices this era had me heated tbh.

Generic pop song nobody wanted or asked for.

Because it's not 2012 anymore, Iggy took her pop audience.

Hey Mama completely overshadowed it. Although I doubt it would have smashed even if Hey Mama wasn't popular at the time because it's pretty generic pure pop.

The GP is racist against curvy black women singing slow songs

Nicki doesn't have much pull when it comes to her singles anymore it seems.

Way too basic. She didn't really try at all, so I can't say she failed.

Same reason the entire album did!

It sounds dated as hell

song's ahead of its time

Less than 80K away from 1M WW is a flop? Kay.

Its honestly as basic as any pop she'd made on Roman Reloaded, so if it were 2012 it would've been on the same level as Pound the Alarm or something i'd assume. Which is to say it would be a lukewarm hit and trail off never to be played again.

ilive for The Night Is Young
