Ain't matter how big your name is. A song like this would benefit from promotion since it's not something that everyone is gonna like straight away.
I've seen people call the song a risk and in the same breath complain about why it's not charting well. Well that's what you get for releasing a RISKY song. Bey is not fussed, yet some fans are making it out like chart performance of RTW may make or break her career, it's ridiculous.

This is the most sensible thing I've read in reference to RTW and the new era thus far.
When promo properly kicks off, the song may become a huge success. Or it may not. Either way, it will be on to the next one, and time for the album release. And from the reviews thus far, it sounds like there are more songs in store for us that could be immediate hits, which means that the era itself will be absolutely fine.
Fret not.
