The critical reception bit is bullshit[edit]

You can't have positive reviews in there and claim it has been a negative reception and then lock the page like a bunch of kids having a tantrum. This is full of bias, and when a well written and well referenced edit was put in it is brushed off as "fan cruft" even though it is not. You have gone out of your way to give negative references, including a citation to a page that is offline so you have referenced a screen shot. You say some references are "unreliable", but use them in other parts of the article and ignore the fact that reviews are can't be unreliable. This is a shambles, hypocritical and the only ones being biased is the ones who keep lying about the reception and reverting relevant and accurate edits. 185.97.213.7 (talk) 13:02, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Here on Wikipedia we work by policies which your edits have essentially not complied with. Please read our policies: WP:NEWSBLOG, and see WP:ALBUM/SOURCES for examples of what kind of sources we use for music reviews on Wikipedia. Please also see WP:DEADLINK. Sure, Sugarscape.com is used as a reference in the article, but for basic factual details like when the cover art was released, where the music video was shot, that is fine. But per WP policies, we cannot accept opinion on subjects from random teenage bloggers with no professional journalistic background who WrItE LiKe ThIs (Sugarscape.com) or a similarly unreliable source (Unreality TV). I hope you understand the issue better now and don't feel discouraged. Feel free to include reviews from reliable and credible sources. Night clubbing 12:04, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And the fact that there are 3 source in the section saying positive things about the song - which is almost half of the whole section - still means it has received negative reception? Sorry, but that is BS. That much positive reception, alongside the negative, does not mean it is negative. It is pretty basic logic. That is what one would logically call a mixed reception, but for whatever reason, you fail to go by reason and logic. 185.97.213.3 (talk) 18:03, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

7 negative reviews + 3 positive reviews clearly does not = mixed reviews lol. Night clubbing 20:00, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Release date[edit]

Do we have a definitive release date for this song? Some people claim December 2015, others February 2016. I realise in this day and age the concepts of "single" and "release date" are pretty nebulous for songs that are only available digitally and have been for months previously on the parent album. But it seems odd to claim that the release date was 3 February 2016 when it's been in the charts since 14 January. It would appear that this February date relates to the release of the accompanying video, which isn't the same thing as the song's release. Richard3120 (talk) 23:27, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, I'm not quite sure what is the official release date here. Because music video release doesn't mean it is a single release date. Andrew (talk) 02:10, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
