Like last time I reviewed one of your articles, I will do this in stages of sorts since it is very large. --Kyle Peake (talk) 15:49, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Wow Kyle Peake, thanks so much for reviewing another one of my articles so soon. I'll be sure to look at another of yours as soon as I can. LOVI33 16:03, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

LOVI33 My pleasure and that would be great if you did, I'm not meaning to be trading reviews or anything since some may think that comes across as bias but it's not like we're going around asking each other to review things constantly so nah. --Kyle Peake (talk) 16:31, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

• Remove hlist and switch order to Digital download followed by CD, since the digital release came first

• "was released through the singer's independent record label, Dua Lipa Limited, as the second single from the album and" → "was released for digital download through Dua Lipa Limited as the second single from the album on October 30, 2015, and"

• "In 2017, the song entered the UK Singles Chart, eventually peaking at number nine," → "In 2017, the song peaked at number nine on the UK Singles Chart,"

Background and composition

• Target chorus to Refrain on the audio sample text
• Not everything written out there is backed up the ref; add the other appropriate ones too here

  Re-written to fit ref

• "Digital Farm Animals, and Jack Tarrant and given to Lipa by the former two" → "Digital Farm Animals and Jack Tarrant, being given to Lipa by the former of the three" since I don't think comma is needed for three writers

• "although, she formed" → "though Lipa ultimately formed"
• "to get over it" → "to get over the fact"

• "she wasn't very excited" → "she lacked excitement"
• Target interpolated to Interpolation (popular music)
• Introduce who Ellie Goulding is
• Mention the chorus somewhere in the comp para and make sure to target to Refrain

  Left it out of audio sample because it wasn't explicit. Couldn't find any reliable explicit sources. LOVI33 22:12, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

• "with gospel and" → "which includes gospel and"
• "The song's intro follows a" → "The intro follows a"
• "F–E♭–E♭maj7–F–Fsus4 while the rest" → "F–E♭–E♭maj7–F–Fsus4, while the rest" maybe I am not looking properly, but where is this on the source?

• Source, the archived version probably doesn't show it but if you look at chords in the sample it shows this. Parts have a watermark but it disappears if you buy it. LOVI33 22:12, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

• "has a airy production," → "has an airy production,"
• Target handclaps to Clapping
• "spanning from" → "spanning a range of"
• "by Lipa as about" → "by Lipa as being about"
• "after a falling out" → "after a falling out with her boyfriend"

 Done, I saw your Streaming edits, I am unsure if streaming should be included since this song was released in 2015. If I am wrong just re-add it. LOVI33 22:12, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

Final comments and verdict

•  On hold until the issues are fixed; one thing I often noticed was not citing publishers properly. --Kyle Peake (talk) 18:16, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

  Thanks again for reviewing this article Kyle Peake! I have addressed all the issues. Is there anything else I can do? LOVI33 15:17, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

  LOVI33 Great job, the article is looking good right now; I just have a statement about the chart query. I don't believe the radio charts are notable since you have the main singles charts for Czech Republic and Slovakia, so why include those too? --Kyle Peake (talk) 18:38, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

  Okay Kyle Peake, I have removed them. LOVI33 18:40, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
