The song sounds....bland?Honestly, it sounds like one of those b-side demos from 2004...I've only listened to the preview, but it doesn't quite sound as fast-paced as they teased and it lacks the energy and power of a proper pop-punk song. I would say it's pop-rock at best. Didn't really like it, which sucks because I thought it would be an anthem lol.
I'll wait to hear the full thing, but I'm not really optimistic.

Yeah the snippet is pretty underwhelming. It's ok, I thought it would be a lot faster and more upbeat.

The song is in the same realm as transparentsoul. I loved it! But it's so fucking short that i just need to hear it more than once to actually have a full listen experience 😂 It brings me so much nostalgia!!! It's kinda catchy indeed!!! I'm really curious how Avril her voice sounds with her! To me it sounds a tiny littlebit like a rip of from Freak Out or something. It could be an UMS b-side with the sound.

It sounded alright to me. I never expected it to be a fast paced song because of that low quality short preview from when they shot the MV together that didn't sound fast paced at all, so I'm not disappointed the tempo is a bit slower. I think it's cool from what I can hear, nothing outstanding or anything, but I can see it being quite catchy. I can't wait to hear Avril's part. I've only gotten the chance to listen to that short preview! Can anybody who's listened to the full song give some sort of feedback on Avril's vocal delivery? Thank you

Thank you Her voice sounds better here compared to Flames IMO She still has that punch from the old days. I honestly loved her delivery. Curious to know if she will keep this going live tho

Ok I just heard the full thing. The song is literally missing a bridge and a final chorus. It's basically a small chorus, verse 1, chorus, verse 2, chorus and that's it. It's such an incomplete song. Sorry, but no, it just lacks a structure. Avril kicks in when we're less than a minute away from the track ending. You don't have time to get into the song, like who even came up with this terrible idea? It literally sounds like half of the song was just cut. Even the Spongebob Sqarepants theme song sounded like a more complete piece.
That aside, I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either. I liked her vocals, she sounded more "pop-punk-ish", like more angsty, which is great if that's what we're getting on AL7.
The reasons for me not loving this is mostly due to the structure of the song. I think the sound was nostalgic, I could definitely see it in one of the early 2000's girl-power films.

How is everybody listening to the full song? Is there any legal site where the song has been uploaded to outside of NZ spotify and apple music? I don't have any VPN at the moment, so I'm afraid I'll just have to wait

Can you tell what her voice is close to with old songs?

I managed to listen to the full song and I couldn't agree more with TomX The song is fine, it does feel a bit nostalgic and it's a nice little pop-rock song, but it feels so incomplete. It's honestly a crime they didn't come back for one final chorus together. Shorter songs can work fine, but this one doesn't work for me at all because it just sounds like an unfinished demo. I do have to point out though that the production style is interesting. It reminded me of older rock bands from the 70s with the vocals kinda being more muffled or more mixed in with the instrumentation rather than standing out above everything. I imagine that's an artistic choice. I think her other singles have had that same treatment, which is fine. But yeah, the song kinda just ends in a very unsatisfying way. Edit: I forgot to say, but yes, I agree that Avril's vocals in particular were very nostalgic here. She still suits this style after all these years! I have more hope now that her delivery on the new album will be good

I know, it's always a little disheartening seeing how most other artists seem to have little to no trouble delivering content regularly and feeding their fans when nothing ever seems to go right with Avril. Since we're in the "Grow" thread just look at Willow's case... lead single out with live performances and music video less than 2 months ago, then another promotional song with an official visualizer, and lastly we know they've already shot the MV for Grow so that single should come out quickly after the album... everything is well organized and makes sense. Plus, she's performing the entire album on release date, how cool is that? That's honestly such an amazing treat for her fans, imagine Avril doing something like that.... I'd die

Ok I just listened to the full song AND.... well, it's not bad (??) the swearing was pretty unnecesary in my opinion. It does sound VERY disney, even more disney than disney itself LOL. At least willow knows how to describe her songs lol. It's not that slow to me ?? like, it's obviously not super super fast paced BUT it's a decent upbeat tempo to me (the dinsey tempo let's say xD)
it's not bad but kinda forgetable and it does sound like a b-side from UMS or TBDT idk. I wasn't expecting too much in the first place but it's not her best track. I would say Listen is better 😬😬 and definitely prefer Flames over this.
The lyrics are not bad at all i must say, at least it's trying to say something xD i liked that.
