Nah, I doubt it's a contract. Her label probably chooses Max songs because of his reputation as a "hitmaker". Maybe they'll start questioning this after Focus
Also, I think this was the first song she did with Max for Moonlight. I guess her label rushed into the era and decided a song similar to Problem would repeat her previous success.
"his sessions with him" I'm such a mess
but yeah, I really hope they don't try to recreate any of her old singles again, she needs something fresh.
Some of you are treating Focus like it bombed. The song might be underperforming by Ariana's/My Everything era standards but it's nowhere near flopping. Let's calm down, wait for the first official numbers and do our job as fans meanwhile.
Honestly don't even care about how this song performs. The album isn't coming for months anyway so this is basically just a buzz single. This is just another top 10 to add to her resume.
The real lead single will probably debut early next year.

That radio update is amazing. Does she have a confirmed radio deal or does radio just love it?
We will know starting tomorrow, if Focus recovers quickly from the rolling effect then the radio loves it, also Next Friday are its first callout scores to see if the listeners like it
But , she is happy with "Focus" as her lead single?
According to her twitter , it looks like she's not worried about it
She's busy promoting Ari and finishing the album right now. Besides, she wouldn't be vocal about it on Twitter even if she does know it's underperforming. Her label will let her know what the next step is.

I really convinced myself the first two days that this was released that I loved it, but the fact that I haven't willingly listened to it since the first two days that it was released....
I really want the best for Ariana, material and success wise and I'm really sad that the era had to start on such a sour note.
i just feel like nobody would have been complaining about it if it would have been sitting comfortably inside top5/10
i remember when gfy came about everyone was like where is the vocals? its boring the song doesnt go any where no powerful hook up and blah blah blah but after it showed good signs on charts everyone started praising it calling it unique sexy and current
