Not trying to yuck any yums, but yeah, there is something about a song with a Marshall Vore writing credit about boys with Peter Pan syndrome that just feels like telling on himself.
I don't have any better way to explain it, but the chorus sounds.... bad, like her vocals feel weirdly off key and the music feels off key and it's kinda dumb and not really that catchy either
How are SO many people involved in this song. Insane list.

Im not a fan of Antonoff production generally, and the chorus melody sounds distractingly like Alex G to me. But it’s a fine single. Sounds like Phoebe Bridgers. I loved SITA and thought Punisher was mostly bland, so this is kind of the make or break album to me.
i thought the chorus was pretty catchy but everything about this song feels safe as fuck. not writing anything off with 15 more songs to hear though. fade out endings can fuck off forever
