I think Nicki and Dr.Luke got secret beef.
Critical reception
The song has achieved enormously positive reviews from music critics, who complimented Dr. Luke's production. In a positive review, Popdust stated "Sounds like a summertime puppy-love pop ballad, produced by Dr. Luke for maximum crossover potential. Like “Right By My Side,” it sets its sights for mainstream appeal pretty damn high, and Nicki even forgoes the token rap verse she throws in at the end of that song here". Idolator also gave a positive review, "Frozen in time / Always be mine / Baby boy, you’ll be young forever, Nicki sings in her latest (rap-free) pop blockbuster. She sounds just a little wistful, just like she did in the “Marilyn Monroe” track (also of unknown provenance) that surfaced a week ago. That might’ve made this one ideal for Valentine’s Day (the album’s original release date). Make sure to listen through the bridge — Nicki shows just a little extra vocal power".
