I quite like it in the spirit of a charity single. She seems to have a thing about 'warriors' generally. I seem to remember her using the term in lyrics to other songs on this album which is fine. It's actually quite relatable as I view my life endeavours at work not as something I enjoy doing so much as I am waging my own personal war of good trying to conquer evil. I don't miss my job one bit during this pandemic so the song makes a lot of sense to me and I quite like it.

I really like this - I think a lot of people seem to forget that Avril hasn't done this for them... its a charity single to help with a worldwide pandemic.
The message is good and its a song most of the wolrd hasn't heard yet - this isn't a song for the fans... its a song for the world.
Listen to it or not, don't sit there and slate Avril for being lazy and unimaginative when all she's doing is her part to fight back.

Agree with the lead single argument. If this was a lead single for an album I would be throwing my phone out the window (okay maybe not) but as a charity song I quite like it as I liked Fly. Fly was never bad for me. It was never amazing either.

It's better than Fly. I don't mind the little "I'm doin' whatever it takes" mistake because it only shows that she is doing her best and we should too. I hope a lot of people will hear it and make this song huge. Warrior is one of my favorites on HAW.

Just listened to it and yeah, what we all expected. Happy about the added violins, and we can all agree that the "shine part" was the best part.
I was hoping for her to kinda boost the instrumental somehow/making it more anthemic OR making the song more acoustic, one of thos. nothing but it's ok. I'm not dissapointed tho, it's still something and i don't think it's better or worse than the original, just different.
TOTALLY agree with the one who said she should've released Bright (the lyrics already fits) at the same time i'm glad 'cause bright deserves a good music video (which is not gonna happen but oh well)

It’s 100000x better than Fly. Fly was boring and her voice sounded weird. I don’t have many feelings about this tbh - I like Warrior and it’s barely any different so it’s not excited me at all cos it’s basically listening to the same song. It’s a nice fundraising gesture. Most interested in the live performance tomorrow tbh

It's way better than Fly, but still not good, since the original Warrior is not good in terms of lyrics, imho.
Anyway I do not agree with the argument "It's a charity single then it's ok for me". I don't like the idea that things that are done for charity can be rushed or can be leftovers just because it's for charity. I can do something for charity putting all my efforts into it, and putting out something great in order to gather more attention, more awareness, more money. Meaning I'm really interested in doing what I'm doing, not that I'm doing it just to show that I did something for the cause. And being music related, charity or not, it shows how much of passionate you are about your job. You should read lyrics over and over to begin with and avoid things that can be misinterpreted. So as usual she's working in a superficial way and it does not make a difference because it's for charity, if anything it makes me look at the situation even in a worse way.

The song is official out now here in Germany. I'm happy to say that it sounds better on Spotify (somehow, a lot of songs sound bad / low quality on YouTube for me, both on my laptop and my phone). I'm still not a fan of the production, but I never much liked the production of the album version either.

It's a nice gesture, and pretty much exactly what I expected. It's nice to see her trying to use her platform to help.
"We're stronger, that's why we're alive" REALLY needed to be changed though. I can't believe no one in her team noticed how insensitive that line instantly became when directly linked to the pandemic -- it made me very uncomfortable upon first listen, personally.
Oh well, I doubt this song will reach many people outside her core fanbase, so I guess it doesn't matter that much. Her fans know she only had good intentions.

You can actually change the audio on spotify and youtube without having to take down the song and re-upload it, SO maybe if we tell her about the lyrics she can re-re-record that part and change the audio.
i don't know if it's worth the time but it can be solved if wanted.

She should change it. I hope they realize that mistake before it blows up. People aren't really nice already, love to bring up the HK video and the fan pictures, add in that many aren't letting celebs pass with insensitive things during these times. I don't think a lot of people will hear the song but theres bound to be some media outlets who report about the song and could catch that lyric. Billboard made an article earlier this week.

I played the song on loop for a few hours with no volume to „compensate“ for the times I have been listening to an unofficial version of the song.

Hi guys, to be honest I'm not surprised, not even disappointed. I knew this was gonna happen, we all knew. I like she add some strings at the beginning and that she changed some highs and lows here and there. Warrior is not the same as we are warriors to me. Yes, she changed lyrics a little little bit but the story behind warrios is not the same story behing we are warriors. One is more personal, the other is meant to be a song to raise some money in order to help the world to fight this new virus. I don't really know what some people expected but this is more than I expected due to have no one to record it better, in her home studio with the help of who knows which guy. The intention behing this song is what I really care about. I've heard that she's also appearing on the Stronger together on april, 26th ,I don't know if it's been confirmed yet. soooo, I agree with some of you who says this is similar to Fly and I do think it is at some point. The real purpose of this and that single are totally the same. Let's wait for the video, maybe we get chills seeing all this people working hard to save lives.
