Grabbing this for a review if that is okay with you. I will have my comments up by the end of the week by the latest. It is cool to see articles on non-single songs/album tracks. Aoba47 (talk) 19:51, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Either add a reference for "girly" in the lead or paraphrase it. Done
Rather than "chose to collaborate", just say "collaborated" to be concise. Done
I am not sure you need the entire quote in the lead paragraph of the "Background" section. The first part seems to repeat what you already say in your own words (Gomez and Angelides sitting in a hallway discussing this matter). The quote is good, but I believe you can use a part of it in a stronger and more concise manner. Done
You link Angelides twice in the article when you should only do it once. Done
You say the phrase "previous singles" when talking about "Good for You" and "Same Old Love". I would modify that as the language implies that "Sober" is a single as well, and that is obviously not the case. Done
I do not believe the image of Lorde is necessary as only critic makes this connection and the inclusion of the image could be adding undue weight to a single review. If the image was there to illustrate the point from at least two reviews, then I would be fine, but I do not think it is necessary in this context. Done
Revise the following phrase [compared it to Alessia Cara's debut single "Here", Know-It-All (2015)]. I would remove the comma and "from" instead. Done
For the phrase ("or — better yet — turned into a he-said/she-said mash-up with the Weeknd's "The Hills"."), "The Hills" should be in single quotation marks as it is already in a quote. Done
Any information on the live performances on this song, such as on the Revival tour?
Link "Hands to Myself". Done
I would try to revise the two paragraphs from the "Critical reception" section to make a strong narrative or topic from both of them as the information seems to be kind of randomly distributed between two paragraphs without any real topic for either of them. A little more structure here would be extremely helpful to avoid it from just being just a grouping of quotes and reviews and it would help an unfamiliar reader understand the reception of the song as a whole.
I do not believe that the "format" aspect of the infobox is necessary for album tracks as it is assumed that this will be available in all of the formats that the parent album is available in. Done
