It's better than The Sweet Escape overall, Metacritic agrees

Yes it's timeless.

Still? It never was.

Lol, wtf

THIS!

Cool is a VERRRRRYYY close second though.

It's not my favorite, but it's her best.

Cool is just one of those pop songs that hits all the right chords being catchy enough to be ear candy but at the same time has this mature undertone to it lyrically that places it above being labeled as basic. Paired with one of the most gorgeous music videos ever with proper storytelling and cinematography, Gwen did THAT when she made this song, one of the best pop songs in history
