WOW, Mary’s looking great. I mean, Ms. Mary Mack is killing it LOL.
While this song is not my favorite at the moment, it’s still a pretty solid joint. I personally think Drake doesn’t fit 100% — he breaks the flow of the groove a tad — but he isn’t totally terrible or anything.
My favorite part of this song is the bridge however, when it gets extra melodic. Mary gets a chance to shine vocally.
Let’s talk about the video: Anthony Mandler turns in a futuristic electro-meets-high fashion vibe for the treatment, and I for one think it works. I almost think he borrowed a bit from his Rihanna/”Disturbia” treatment though. However, Mary definitely puts her own stamp on it, with her hilarious-but-serious-faced attempts at choreography and the many chameleon-esque changes she does throughout.
Throw in a dash of cut-frame effects, some “holographic” imaging, and some randomly dressed hip-hop dancers, and you have an interesting video. It strangely works, but I think a more focused attempt would have been better. There are too many different videos smashed into one. Mary still shines and looks great — she’s the black Cher in my opinion.
Overall decent, but could have been better, which is also what I think of the songs I’ve heard so far. What do you all think?

Those mirror scenes are like, totally transplanted from Mary’s “Just Fine” video. I like it though. Feels kinda “Real Love-ish” with the dancers. Thumbs up.

I dont like it…Hate to say it but Mary is to old to be trying to make music like this…I hate when singers try to appeal to younger audiences…Just make real music and be done with it…Ugh…I thought I would never see the day Mary…
