Ariana Grande's former lead single Focus was released on October 30, 2015. If memory serves me right, this track was overwhelmingly negatively received by ATRL and the geepee.
Now that 6 months have almost passed, how does Focus fare with you?
Loved it since day 1. It's a smash, club banger and iconic in every way.
People saying this flopped are kinda wrong too. It peaked inside the top 10 in many countries and it got certified gold/platinum almost everywhere! The only reason why people here think this was a flop is because Adele and Justin Bieber's song were huge smashes compared to Iconus.
As a stan I felt like I had to like it. Which I did or so I thought. I remember loving it then hating it after reading a post on atrl about it being a Problem 2.0, which it is. I know I shouldn't have been bothered but I really was at that time. Flash forward 5 months and 3 weeks later, I have played it, sung it and hummed it almost everyday. I believe this is what atrl describes as 'seeing the light.' This is my Focus revival.
