I like how it starts off all acoustic and then brings in this dirty beat and keys. And of course the strange "UH HUH" vocal slide thing. I can see how it could be annoying, but I think it's fantastic. At the end there's so much going on, it sounds exactly like it should to me, just all over the place fun emotion.
What I love most is the lyrics. As a fledgling songwriter/sometimes poet, one of my biggest peeves is wanting to write about a feeling or situation and just not being able to find the right words. This is one of those "ah ha!" songs where I feel a mix of instant gratification for knowing it exists...and also being deeply shamed someone else wrote it first. Mostly I'm just glad she made this feeling I've been feeling into a song. Isn't that what music is for?
Plus, Julia Michaels is apparently an Iowa girl...so, props!
