OMG im kinda disappointed in this song, the lyrics are deep and the melody isnt bad at all but she's singing it like she doesn't mean it. And there's no climax to this.

I hope the album does well. I really do. Kelly <3

I think that's why i don't like it. I can't hear tha emotion at all,she sounds like a narrator in it

The icing on the cake will be the X Factor announcement if she is doing it.

I like it, deep lyrics, good production but it doesn't go anywhere tbh.

I wonder if it'll turn out to be a hit

Superbitch

But yes is true this is real RnB

So I really love the sound of the song. It's brave in lyrics but as well in the production because it's not super catchy nor typical even of most popular R&B songs.

However the only thing that bothers me about it is that most of her dirty laundry is on the subject of Beyonce. Every verse mentions her. I can see exactly where she's coming from and it's not like she's talking negatively. I don't feel this way because I'm a Beyonce fan. I know this is an important aspect of her life but it just seems that in this stage of her career to be launching a single that is about Beyonce is still kind of still living in her shadow. She's done really well for herself by carving out her niche and being fantastic at it. She's really talented. No need in my eyes to bring up past drama to get attention. But I guess, it's working and it probably feels good to get it off her chest.

What do you guys think?

I think its great way to finally end it, Im a fan of destiny's child and bein stannin for them since I was a kid, in every single interview she was asked about beyonce, so i think this way she could stand on her own, kinda like, if they ask her again she can put the attention on this song like listen to that song and ull see by urself, if the song becomes huge, it will finally be in the past. Its much braver and stronger way to say 'im artist in my own right' then repeatin in the interview 'its all love' you know?

Hm. That's a good point. I didn't think of that.

I disagree. The best songs are drawn from real emotions and Beyoncé has been a huge part of Kelly's life since being young so it is not surprising she would want to address a few things in a song. The abuse Kelly suffered is something which was very significant in her life which can be reinforced by the Destiny's Child tracks Girl, Bad Habit and Through with Love. It seems Kelly is ready to share this story with the world (domestic violence, like rape, is an event which takes years to come to terms with). I think she handled the Beyoncé situation in a very classy manner and I am happy that she has addressed it as it now removes those questions from people's mind.

400k spins on her Cloud acc, half of KDL whole run

I didn't expect the song to be about this. What kinda Trapped In the Closet?

I'm questioning whether people will relate to it because it's so personal. It sounds more like a promo/buzz single than a radio single. But that doesn't take away from the song being good.

Who was her abusive bf?

If the itunes release was this week she wouldve had a bigger peak than Ciara's new song!

But they are smart though, they are releasing the song along with the pre order in order to boost album sales + the video is being shot this week. So their strategy is spot on!

Time for her to get a Top 40 hit.
