The glossy production here exhibits flashes of brilliance, like that loopy synth that repeats during the hook and the subtle whistling laid onto the track like icing on a cake. It gives the track a natural aura of opulence, making it, I imagine, a great listen if one is getting pampered. At times, though, it sounds overly commercialized, like an extended version of a track made for an advertisement. Larsson's vocals could function as an asset here, but she isn't really given the chance to showcase them. Instead, she just casually goes along with the bouncy flow, the mood of the song taking precedence. But I can never muster up enough interest to go along with that in-your-face Fifth Avenue mood to warrant constant spins. This is a definitely a fun listen every once in a while, though.

I kind of wish X Ambassadors go away after this year...though, if any song of theirs other than "Jungle" makes it beyond this year, I hope it's "Unsteady".
