This chorus is UNFORGIVABLE, so disappointed with this mess. Nothing but a cheap Problem clone. DO BETTER ARIANA

I'm just like, is this particular song really the best way to start this era?

I think they wanted to go a safe route. A repeat of Problem, essentially. At least if it doesn't do *that* well, they'll have other aces up their sleeve to release next.

When the guy's voice came in for the chorus I lost it

The reaction to this is reminding me of ATRLers' initial reactions to Anaconda.

The Anaconda video is amazing and the song itself is still the worst off TPP, Nicki's best album by far, so maybe you're saying to be optimistic but I don't think you are and this isn't the tea

This song is a blatant copy of Problem, which is miles better than this. This is giving me Judas teas.

How even?

It already grew on me After three listens!

Can we just talk about how good the intro is though

[Jezang Looz]

The chorus is the BEST part of the song

Y'all need to learn why Max and his disciples run the game. Listen and take notes.

Ariana is a big enough artist at this point to warrant studio time with the actual Max Martin.

But she did work with him on this album from the pics of them in the studio
It just happens this was the single they went with..

the success of Anaconda was 100% because of the video, the Focus video is not doing that.

[Colton Haynes]

Let me not see you guys stanning tf outa this song when it smashes...

2 minutes till iTunes.

[Oxygen]

Focus... Focus on me

[R E V I V A L]

Wait I'm actually loving the chorus on my second listen

[Apollo]

The thing is...the male voice in problem was sexy and this one is not... The last chorus is amazing though!
And the snippet we had for so long is the catchiest moment of the song.

It had so much potential! I like it but I was hoping something better. I hope the video makes me like it more..

Who on Earth is this??
