So so good. Great chorus and I love the layering of the vocals. One of the best in the sad section of the album

The song feels a bit all over the place, the lyrics aren't on point, and the chorus feels underwhelming. The instrumental only gets good in the last minute, when the kick drum comes in. I'm being a bit harsh because I know that Olivia can do better...
