Article fails WP:NSONGS, all sources are from album reviews of Future Nostalgia therefore it should be redirected to Future Nostalgia.  Cool Marc  ✉   15:25, 17 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Oppose — Yes, most of the article's sources come from reviews of Future Nostalgia, but the reason I created this article is one, it has charted on multiple charts that cannot be completely added to discography tables and two, Future Nostalgia reviews gave a lot of information about a song's production and it's reception from critics, that cannot be completely added to Future Nostalgia sections. Overall, I think there is sufficient information for a complete article. Plus, it has a big enough background being the first song recorded for Future Nostalgia. LOVI  33  16:55, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
 * , per WP:NSONGS charting indicates only that a song may be notable, not that it is notable There is no coverage outside of album reviews and interviews about the album.  Cool Marc  ✉   17:25, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
 * If you look at Phoenix (Rita Ora album), it is possible to include this content in the parent album page. → Lil- ℧niquԐ1 - ( Talk ) - 14:41, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect – changed stance per above and below. LOVI  33  00:42, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak Merge, I'm fed up of seeing articles about individual songs from albums that have charted but have not received coverage independent of the album. Notability is not inherited just because the album received extensive coverage. There is plenty of space/possibility for the content to be included in the songs section of Future Nostalgia and other charted songs could be listed in the discography or "other charted songs section". → Lil- ℧niquԐ1 - ( Talk ) - 18:19, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per GNG. I'm fine with this amount of coverage and with Wikipedia having an entry for this song. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 20:38, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Y
 * Keep - song chartued and has enough sourced information for a standalone article. Merging with the album would place undue weight on this song relative to the others on the album. Rlendog (talk) 19:49, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Future Nostalgia: Per Lil-unique1. It's not necessary for every song in the album to have its own article. ASTIG😎  (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 03:36, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - This song Charted and there is RS. Meets our Music SNG. Wm335td (talk) 16:24, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep - the song charted in eight separate national charts.Jessicahelen (talk) 11:25, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to parent album, per nominator. Having charted in eight coutries does not grant any song notabilty. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 23:01, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Future Nostalgia. Chart performance is only one sign that a song may be notable, but the best indication is whether or not it has received a significant amount from third-party, reliable sources. From my understanding, it appears like this song has primarily received coverage in album reviews, and I am uncertain if that meets the significant coverage requirement.

 * Keep - deleting a top 40 song article because of how the reviewers decided to address the song seems like an awful precedent. --Prosperosity (talk) 11:34, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
 * , a top 40 song where? On a component download chart in Hungary?  Cool Marc  ✉   14:00, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Isn't Single Top 40 the main chart of Hungary? What's it a component of? --Prosperosity (talk) 22:22, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
 * , Hungary does not have a main chart, it has separate airplay, streaming and download charts. Per the IFPI 2019 report, downloads make up only 7% of the music market and streaming makes up 54%. Regardless, per WP:NSONG a song charting does not make it automatically notable.  Cool Marc  ✉   07:02, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Well no, it also needs to have enough content to warrant an article (which it has). --Prosperosity (talk) 07:14, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
