    The song's been out for almost 10 months now. When it initially came out, the consensus was it was pretty great. What does everyone think now? Personally, this is the only song I really revisit from Southpaw.

    I'd argue its a classic. Great lyrics, flow is ok. Gwen is amazing, wish her chorus was longer tho

    Liked it at first and it has parts I think are pretty good. But it aged horribly imo.

    I used to prefer it over Medicine Man but that changed.

    How can you argue it's a Classic if you feel the flow is only ok? Haha
    Personally I think it's a decent song

    Song is nowhere near a classic....



    Good hook from Gwen and some good lines and moments here and there...lot of monotonous flows that are hard to listen to.
