Who gives a fukk if it's on a complication EP? :what:

You realize it's HER label and HER track, so now she supposed to have zero musical integrity because it's a a comp EP? :camby:

Nah, she's chasing the fame, her last LP was pretty safe, I saw the signs
all her solo projects are of the same story. why would she continue the story on a one-off song off a comp? it's one song. if she drops an album full of shyt like this then you have a point, but it's ONE song.

Breh, I know the story that continues through her projects, that has NOTHING to do with this track being radio pop trash. You're telling me unless she's making a track for album and it's part of a continuing story she can only make shyt like this?

Yoga is a great song

She needed it to expand her sound and reach

She has potential to make weeknd like jump as far as R&B goes with her next project

Nah she didn't sell out, she just changed her style & sang a different type of song about being sexy in a classy way. She just tried something different, she's not out there p*ssy popping; just jiggling her booty a little bit. No harm in it, I doubt she'll change up what she's known for.

The sellout part was that the song was trash :mjlol:
She's an incredibly, incredibly talented artist and this is the worst song she's ever released by far :francis:
