Rap/sung category was changed this year (it was previously Rap/sung collaboration) so that it could include songs that are in the middle of hip hop and pop (typically Drake, Nicki Minaj etc.)
LY is more of your typical Grammy-bait song, so it probably has a better chance.
Considering it's assisted by Ed Sheeran and he just won two Grammys last year, Justin and his team probably figured they'd go with LY in favor of Sorry
Sorry is still the superior song
Totally understood..but i have to ask, isn't it better to submit more songs cause then you have a better chance of getting nominated? or is there like a limit to how many you can submit? sorry i'm clueless about this stuff but just wondering.
