\\ GA review \\ by Pedro A small one this time! Shouldn't take much time.

Prose

 * Lead
 * "talking about Lorde celebrating an infatuation" → "in which Lorde discusses an infatuation" (the verb celebrate is copied from a source used in Composition)
 * "lyrical theme" (the composition section doesn't state this... it just says that the musical
 * "and picked it as one of the standouts from the extended version of the album." → break the sentence. "Most journalists picked it as a standout from the album's repackaging/reissue"
 * Done


 * Background
 * Can you cite the liner notes to the expanded edition rather than a database? Sometimes they're incorrect. If the reissue wasn't in physical form, cite the digital download notes (the Composer iTunes parameter)
 * The extended version don't have the notes
 * My download of NB has the writers, but that's it. Adabow (talk) 02:13, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
 * The database is OK, then. —  prism   △  17:58, 18 June 2014 (UTC)


 * If it was given for free, isn't it a promotional single?
 * After being freely downloaded within 12 X'mas days, it was made available for sales


 * Composition and critical reception
 * "an synthpop" (typo)
 * "The song has similar musical style to other songs from Pure Heroine: it features Lorde's "feathery" vocal delivery and minimal production." → The song has a similar sonority to that of other songs from Pure Heroine, featuring Lorde's "feathery" vocals and minimal production.
 * "pulsing synthesizer" → "a pulsing synthesizer"
 * Change "synthesizer" to plural form


 * "making the song's melody "dreamy"" (according to whom?)
 * celebrates → celebrating
 * "Go all the way/" (add a space between 'y' and the bar)
 * There you go


 * References
 * Slant shouldn't be italicized; it isn't published media.
 * Nah, it's Slate, not Slant, and it is published. Simon (talk) 01:51, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Still... Slate, just like Slant, is an online magazine. Not printed. —  prism   △  17:58, 18 June 2014 (UTC) (I did it already)
