 * The rest is good
 * Thank you! Aoba47 (talk) 23:16, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Background and release

 * Due to the disappointing commercial → I would rather say "underwhelming" here; "disappointing" sounds like you're giving your opinion on the subject matter
 * Revised. Aoba47 (talk) 23:19, 2 February 2018 (UTC)


 * her second self-entitled album → her second and eponymous album (see above for explanation)

 * Revised. Aoba47 (talk) 23:21, 2 February 2018 (UTC)


 * on several Billboard charts → ...in the United States (see above)
 * Revised. Aoba47 (talk) 23:21, 2 February 2018 (UTC)


 * The info about the single's trajectory on US charts is abit repetitive, but it doesn't matter that much for GA.
 * Understandable; I do not really think that there is a better way of presenting the information though as adding too much variation in the sentences can make it too distracting to read. It is quite a fine line. Aoba47 (talk) 23:21, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Outcome

 * Great job with this article. I put it for 7 days to allow you to implement my changes. Best regards, Cartoon network freak (talk) 21:32, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for taking this up for review! This is quite a weird song. It was a pretty massive departure for the singer, especially in terms of image. Fantasia also appears to have completely ignored this song (i.e. the music video was removed from YouTube/Vevo channel and she never performs this). I am not a huge fan of this song so I am okay with that lol. Hope you are doing well. Aoba47 (talk) 23:26, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
