I will follow my pledge and review this now, taking anything relevant into account from my previous review! --K. Peake 17:04, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

• We may have discussed this before, but shouldn't release dates be listed for the album the song was on when it is not a single?
• "from the bass-line and the title." → "from the bassline and title." with the wikilink
• "promising herself she will be" → "promising she will be" since the body states she promises this both to herself and the lover
• Second para looks good; nice work!

Background and production

• Img looks good!
• "a bunch of music" I don't think this is appropriate language for Wiki like previously said; to elaborate, this does not sound encyclopaedic
• The sentence about slowing down before the chorus should be merged with the tempo track one because they are too short on their own
• To provide img relevancy, note that Julia Michaels also contributed backing vocal harmonies
• "and gives the song" → "and gave the song"
• I would recommend invoking the ref every two sentences since one invoke of the citation does not cover the entire para, especially when there is usage of quotes
• "of the notes are now in reverb." shouldn't this be "were in" instead?
• Like the second para, you should invoke the ref every two sentences in the third and after any sentences using direct quotations
• "which himself produced," → "which he himself produced,"

Music and lyrics

• Wikilink verse–chorus form
• Wikilink synthesizer
• [12] should be invoked after thick, also unless I'm missing something here none of the sources appear to mention any clicks on the song?
• Ditto for the groove
• "stress-reliving" → "stress-relieving" on the audio sample text
• Pipe stabs to Stab (music)
• [24][8] should be placed in numerical order
• "when she sings" → "when Lipa sings"
• [30] should be invoked every two sentences

Release and promotion

• Img looks good!
• Wikilink lyric video to itself rather than the sub-section per MOS:LINK2SECT
• Pipe Tiny Desk Concert to Tiny Desk Concerts

Reception

• Put some of The Wall Street Journal into your own words to avoid overquoting
• Invoke the PopMatters ref after the first sentence too since that uses direct quotations
• Pipe Vulture to Vulture (website)
• "named it" → "saw the song as" to be less repetitive
• Put some of Wonderland into your own words to avoid overquoting
• Swap [61] with [62] for the correct order in correspondence with the countries

Track listings

• Add the citations for each track listing

Personnel

• Good

Charts

• Good

Certifications

• Good

References

• No concerns over copyright at all!
• Cite Dancing Astronaut as publisher instead on ref 31
• Cite Universo Online as publisher on ref 48; really like the heavy amount of citations here though!
• Why does ref 49 feature a set of publishers?
• Fix MOS:CAPS issues with ref 60

External links

• Good

Final comments and verdict

•  On hold until all of the issues are fixed; looks like you should get here in no time in the article's current state! --K. Peake 19:10, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

  @Kyle Peake, hello again.

  I followed the suggestions you kindly took the time to list here! Hoping I made no mess. Best, -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 23:20, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

  Mushy Yank Many thanks for your edits and the comments thanking the efficiency as well as informing me of the edits at the time of review, you still need to wikilink lyric video to itself like this however and the ref 60 caps issues are with the word Top. --K. Peake 20:55, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you so very much@Kyle Peake:. Done. Best, -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 21:16, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

• ✓ Pass now, sorry I missed this yesterday but everything has been implemented! --K. Peake 06:42, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

  Hello@Kyle Peake, and thank you so much for your help and efficiency, and the quality of your work. Truly amazing. I am glad the Dua Lipa topic includes a new GA and would like to insist that this was mostly @LOVI33’s work, and @Another Believer’s creation. Thanks again. -My, oh my!
