Sounds like a Sublime song in the same way Locked Out of Heaven sounded like a Police song

#1 in 21 countries already

Yea I knew that alric guy was trolling. He said that "can't remember to forget you" was the pre-chorus and that the song sounded like 'whyb' and 'she wolf'. It sounds like neither of those songs.

A lyric video would probably get a lot of views considering most people can't understand what Shakira is saying (no shade)

Exactly why I'm asking for one.

It would also give it longevity until the actual video comes out and bring it higher on HOT100

just got home from work and purchased it. i had such high hopes for it and i do like the song, but i also feel like so much more could have been done and feels rather lackluster and bland in the end. rihanna didn't really add much for me either. hopefully it will grow on me soon.

Believe me, it will.

I know! If I had to compare it to something it's like a Man Down/Don't Bother mix

Just listened to the song twice!

Highlights:
- A lot better than I thought It would be, judging from the snippet.
- I can feel the mixture between rock and reggae. Its like that the sounds, and not just the voices, of both singers got mixed! That said, its refreshing, not EDM but not too retro (like Bruno and Justin).
- Rihanna adds an different touch to the song; it wouldn't be so interesting if it was just Shakira.
- Lyrics: good, not WOW, but good. Love the mind/memory references!

Downsides:
- The middle 8 should have a different instrumental; being similar to the verses makes it a bit boring.

Overall: 8/10

TBH the snippet was changed. In final version you have:

[vocalise]
I can't remember to forget you
[vocalise]
I keep forgetting I should let you go

with chords Bm-A-Em-G-F#m-Bm-A-G-D-A/C#

In preview you have

[vocalise]
I can't remember to forget you
[vocalise]
I can't remember to forget you

with Bm-A-Em-G-F#m

Someone multiply first phrase. That version sugest it should be pre-chorus - songwriters avoid this kind of repetition in chorus. In other hand, if it was part of pre-chorus, the pre-chorus would be too long[aprox. 30sec] It was strange but who knew it was edited before LQ recording :eil:

I like it on the first listen, but it will be a grower. I love Shakira, so I know I will eventually love it, not just like it.

In preview of chorus there are changed because someone edited preview. 4 bars with Bm-Em-A-D-A/C# chords was repeated 2 times, where in official(not edited version) after Bm-Em-A-D-A/C# is Bm-A-G-D-A/C#
