Credits and personnel

• Good

Charts

• Good

Release history

• Columns shouldn't be sortable and refs should be centered; see "Fade".
• In order to verify that the song was released in various countries, cite multiple iTunes releases.

References

• I understand that many need archiving, but the machine isn't working as of current so this cannot be done but it can be passed if other issues are adressed.
• WikiLink Billboard on ref 1.
• Ref 14 needs an access date.
• Ref 17 should use YouTube as the publisher instead of via.
• WikiLink Idolator on ref 25
• See "Billionaire" as an example of how to put various countries into one ref for release. Should be US, Spain, Hungary and France as they are the ones it is referenced as charting in.

Final comments and verdict

There are numerous issues but since the article is quite small, I'll give you time and put it  On hold. Just two things to mention - an image should be added to comply with the GA criteria and the digital download release should be referenced somewhere appropriate in the body. --Kyle Peake (talk) 09:41, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Kyle Peake, I believe I have addressed every concern. Thanks for a greatly helpful and comprehensive review. The only suggestion I didn't implement was removing hot pink; it's an actual color and that's the wording used by the critic so it isn't unencyclopedic in my opinion? Have a great week.--18:52, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

@MaranoFan: Looks much better, do you think you could add some info about how Mustard became involved with Carey or something about another songwriter/producer? --Kyle Peake (talk) 18:56, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Kyle Peake, I just added something I dig up from this interview with one of the songwriters. Check it out!--NØ 19:12, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Made a few minor changes, but well done! I'll happily ✓ Pass this, good work. --Kyle Peake (talk) 19:15, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
