Final comments and verdict

 * Sorry the review took so long. until issues are fixed. Excited to see your comments on "IDGAF"!  LOVI  33  22:04, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

LOVI33, no worries! Lmk if anything else needs to be fixed. The Ultimate Boss (talk) 01:50, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

LOVI33, Okay, I have changed it to what you have requested. The Ultimate Boss (talk) 02:34, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Hey, I think you were kind of confused with some of the ref improvements I was suggesting so I have gone ahead a fixed them for you here. Unfortunately, I can't pass this yet. For one, You need a source that calls "Watch" a sentimental ballad, you cannot just assume. The source you have given just simply calls it a ballad. Also, I reviewed every source you gave for Eilish singing about her lover changing in the chorus and maybe I'm missing something, but I have reviewed every source (Atwood, Insider, and Vice) you gave, and all just talk about it's lyrics. If I'm missing something could you quote it? LOVI  33  13:19, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Great! I'm ready to ✅ this. LOVI  33  14:43, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
