According to Rap Genius the start is from Kim's perspective which kind of makes sense.

I actually like it, it's slightly corny at times but it's so much different to the rest of the album.

I'm actually surprised more people dont feel like you actually. The majority of people have complained at one point or another about his singing in the past including myself. I REALLY like this song. I felt like a jackass when I heard it and thought to myself, wow this is good. And most of the time it's like a fake half ass singing, but this is almost like he is truly singing. I wouldn't feel bad for not liking it.

He ripped the rap verse on this song, especially the beginning.

Reminiscent of Hailie's Song. Many songs seem like unofficial sequels to old songs. Headlines = Cleanin' Out My Closet. Bad Guy = Stan being the obvious, intentional ones.

I have no idea who this song is about. If this is from Kim's perspective, it's even better than I thought.

The first two verses are her. The rapping is Em's response, but the conclusion is that they are both responsible for whatever responsibility their relationship contains them to.

I'm actually relatively surprised with this track. He actually pulls off the singing parts really well for the most part and it's actually really impressive. It's definitely a step in the right direction because it really shows how vast his taste is. He takes inspiration from classic songs and tries to fuse it with the whole hip-hop ting

One thing I enjoyed was just the way he sounded on the song. It was so chill and at the same time, really emotional.

The songs great but I cringe at the parts where he sounds like cartman crying

I don't like it. I love the message and what it meant to him but musically I am not into it.

I think it's a good song. Em sounds good on it. It's an original idea. It would have been easy for Em to talk about Kim for the 15th time. But instead, we hear it from her, or what he thinks she'd say. It also had a good beat and it was just something different. One song like this every 10 years doesn't bother me. I love towards the end of the song. He sounds great. Always been good at layering

So it's reasonable if some people don't feel like it's a great song.

I love the song and I can relate tbh
