This article is about Olivia Rodrigo's song "Can't Catch Me Now". Just two months after raking in massive critical acclaim with her second studio album, Guts, Rodrigo contributed this lush folk ballad to The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. The song, which consistently escalates in intensity throughout its duration, drew positive reviews for its sound and Rodrigo's vocal performance. Oscar buzz soon followed but the competition was unfortunately too tough. Thanks a lot to everyone who will take the time to give their feedback here.N Ø 15:42, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pending review from NegativeMP1

Soon. I hope... λ NegativeMP1 17:20, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure if I'm going to review this article anymore following some real-world developments. I'm also unsure if I am currently in the right place to determine what meets FA criteria or not. If something like a spotcheck or an image review is needed, let me know in a couple weeks and I might volunteer. But I don't think I will be reviewing the article prose. I wish you luck, and I'll try to make up for it at a later date. λ NegativeMP1 17:55, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pending review from Pbritti

Somehow this song from her discography had escaped my notice until now, so this review gives me an excuse to throw it on. Will complete in the next 24 hours. ~ Pbritti (talk) 01:47, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Review from Sky Harbor

I was asked to review the article on WP:DISCORD, and at first glance the prose looks good. Maybe a couple of errors here or there but otherwise written well. In honor of Olivia Rodrigo's Guts World Tour and it stopping in the Philippines (and also because she's Filipino American and it's Filipino American History Month), I will endeavor to review this more deeply and will post some thoughts on the article later depending on my real-life workload. --Sky Harbor ^(talk) 16:24, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, MaranoFan. Thank you very much for taking the time to write this article, and I'm glad that you had taken the time to write it. For this review, I will focus primarily on prose and writing, deferring to others more versed in the current FA process than me for more technical aspects:

In the first sentence of the composition and lyrics section, I would include that Dylan Waterhouse plays the instruments you mention in the next sentence ("..., who also plays..."). In the current arrangement I am left wondering who "he" is.
In the music video section, is the "white sleek dress" a specific dress, or is it a white dress that happens to be slimming?
I personally write out numbers as words so long as it's ten or below ("Ten days later" instead of "10 days later"), but I get that this is a stylistic choice.

As I mentioned initially, the prose itself is written well so I don't see any major impediments to the article becoming an FA, and I think the suggestions made here would push that case even further. Best of luck. --Sky Harbor ^(talk) 14:22, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"On November 1, 2023, Rodrigo's hotline" - what's her "hotline"?

It's a phone number, upon calling which fans can hear snippets of upcoming music from Rodrigo.--N Ø 09:12, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, that's very 1980s! LOL -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:26, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"The lyrics of "Can't Catch Me Now" are written from Lucy Gray's perspective" - her surname appears to have gone missing.....
That's it I think - nice work! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:25, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All done, ChrisTheDude. Thanks for the comments. I really, really appreciate it.--N Ø 09:12, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
