QPQ: Done.

Overall: A former redirect that is long enough. The hook is interesting. No QPQ required. There are no copyvios, only quoted text. There are some unsourced statements that I tagged and must be resolved before approval. Refer to WP:NOR at the sentence beginning with "Ocean references the 1990 film Pretty Woman and the 1999 film Runaway Bride in the lyrics. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 20:00, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

@Jolielover: You're only missing the paragraph that starts with "Ocean continued to perform the song..." since the source doesn't say that he continued doing it (at most I found "I guess if I play it at Coachella it'll cost me a couple hundred racks") or that "Many critics defended Ocean, highlighting that the track was part of a non-commercial mixtape".

The newer additions doesn't represent an issue and the unsourced text was removed accordingly. Ready to go. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 05:10, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
