Tim: Bit of a weird thing: the music video for this only covers 90 seconds or so of the song; specifically, the second verse/chorus and the beginning of the middle eight. It does, therefore, cover all the most important parts, but you still might want to check out the whole track.
Tom: I wonder if that’s a one-off decision, or a new strategy from record companies to prevent people just ripping stuff off YouTube?
Tim: So here’s the thing: that song’s great – the vocal is great, the production’s great, everything about it is great.
Tom: I’m very surprised you think that — I’ll grant you it’s a great chorus, but the verse is a bit too slow and plodding for me. That said, I found myself automatically singing along with the “we don’t run from anyone” in the post-chorus during the first listen, so that’s a good sign. You think everything about it’s great, though?
Tim: Including that string section that’s beginning to appear at the end of the video (and really kicks on the main song at 2:37), which is just so, so reminiscent of the “your song is on repeat/dancing to on to your heartbeat” melody from Clean Bandit & Zara Larsson’s Symphony that I don’t quite get how no-one noticed it.
Tom: I mean, I didn’t notice it, so… I don’t know, maybe Lana Del Rey has a point.
Tim: Other than that, though: like I said, fantastic track.
