Yes it flopped hard
But it was the most impactful song this year, which is more important.

It was never even an official single, but y'all are already so damn mad and riled up -- this should be fun.

It tumbled off the charts in a matter of weeks so I think by definition it was!

No. It's not formulaic, has a controversial message and wasn't released in a way to ensure success (because of the stupid Tidal decision)

It was a pop culture kinda song . It wasn't meant for commercial success it was meant to make a statement and as you can see it has..

Quick? It smashed from Feb to May!
Little? It was the talked about song this year!
Single? It was never released as a single!

It was never a single, it just had a high budget music video and performance during the Super Bowl

This! She gave the song away for free for months and it still went top 10.

I thought 'quick little single' meant record a song with no message or value just for the sake of getting a hit that has no impact. So no, I guess it was not a 'quick little single'
