Image[edit]

Why does his image in the template have him holding the sign that says 'Love Yourself' when the song is 'Sorry? There is an image that says 'Sorry'. ~Ghostheart — Preceding unsigned comment added by XGhostheartX (talk • contribs) 19:47, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Video[edit]

 ...and the fastest amount of time for a male to reach 1 billion views.

This is a really important fact, especially because in the video there is no male to be seen... 62.158.157.121 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:42, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong key?[edit]

If E-flat major is not the correct key in the composition summary, change it to A-flat lydian, C minor, or B-flat mixolydian. Ssjhowarthisawesome (talk) 04:05, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Genre[edit]

Rolling Stone: "moombahton-tinged "Sorry." " - doesn't make it a moombahton song, just contains influences.
Huffington Post: "Justin Bieber's latest single, “Sorry,” a moombahton-pop delight," - Delight is a type of feeling, preceded by a genre doesn't make it so.
Washington Post: "Skrillex helped propel moombahton even higher up the charts as the co-writer and co-producer of Justin Bieber’s “Sorry,” " - doesn't really state it's a moombahton song, more that Skrillex's experimenting with parts of the genre or popularity.
USA TODAY: "before gliding into smooth falsetto for the moombahton-inspired Sorry." - doesn't make it a moombahton song
Rolling Stone: "Skrillex and Blood Pop co-produced the tropical, moombahton-infused track." - doesn't make it a moombahton song
We Got This Covered (probably unreliable): "The new Justin Bieber and Skrillex collab is here, and it's moombahton!"
The FADER: "Two of the songs Balvin has remixed are based around moombahton drops—Bieber’s “Sorry” and Major Lazer’s “Lean On”—and are global pop anthems." - probably referring to the remix, but I don't think the phrasing is strong enough to warrant it being included as a moombahton song explicitly.
Vulture: "Justin Bieber’s 2015 hit “Sorry” (now over 2.7 billion views) seduces with an electronic beat that Skrillex would never have imagined without reggaeton and its EDM cousin, moombahton." - referring to its beat, doesn't make it a moombahton song
UPROXX: "“Sorry” topped the Billboard Hot 100 on the strength of its tropical house-and-moombahton-influenced sound." - doesn't make it a moombahton song, just contains influences.
Slant Magazine: "“Sorry” came next, and with it a mini-resurrection of the house/reggaeton fusion Moombahton" - mini is a small one, but I don't think the phrasing is strong enough to warrant it being included as a moombahton song explicitly.

None of these reviews set an explicit genre for the song (and the other one is probably unreliable). 115.164.53.70 (talk) 20:03, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

IMO, calling the song "a moombahton-pop delight" says the song is both moombahton and pop. I don't see how a song could "propel moombahton even higher" without being moombahton. Another source calls this and another song "moombahton drops", makes them both moombahton. Finally, if the song is a "resurrection" -- of any size -- that would make it moombahton. - 23:35, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

"moombahton drops" - Drop (music) "Many genres of EDM can have more than one drop during a track, especially if the song is built on a "dance-pop" verse/chorus with vocals; a drop of some kind is typically heard somewhere during each chorus as the high point of that verse/chorus cycle." ~~less explicitly.~~ a part of. (sorry for that) and by the way Slant one is more quite than Huffington. 115.164.189.101 (talk) 19:29, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
