Infobox and lead

[edit]
  • Infobox looks good!
  • Mention in the first sentence that it was from the former's fifth major-label studio album
  • Swap the release and writing/production sentences
  • "as the lead single from" → "as the lead single from the album" with the wikilink
  • "and Vindver produced it." → "and Vindver handled the production." but these credits need to be fully written out in prose
  • ""Bad for Me" has lyrics about" → "it has lyrics about"
  • Add a sentence about critical reception at the start of the second para
  • "performed it on television shows including" → "performed it on television shows in 2022, including"

Background

[edit]
  • "studio albums in 2020," → "studio albums in 2020:"
  • "as an attempt to "adapt" → "since she was "adapting" per the source
  • "fifth one, in May the following year," → "fifth one in May 2022,"
  • "the lead single from it." → "the lead single from the album."
  • "along with its lyrics" → "along with the lyrics"
  • Mention that it was released as a single and where is the guest vocals part sourced?

Composition

[edit]
  • Retitle to Composition and lyrics
  • Mention the songwriters here since you have mentioned the producer
  • Pipe keyboards to Keyboard instrument
  • "it at Sterling Sound in" → "the song at Sterling Sound in" with the pipe per MOS:LINK2SECT
  • ""Bad for Me" is a" → "Musically, "Bad for Me" is a"
  • "incorporates the piano" → "incorporates a piano"
  • Pipe acoustic to Acoustic guitar
  • Remove or replace Forbes per WP:FORBES
  • Remove or replace The Breeze per WP:RSSM
  • "to name the subject but dispelled the idea that it" → "to name the subject, but dispelled the idea it"

Reception

[edit]
  • ""[The song] is a" → ""[The song] ... is a" per the source's full quote
  • "a pop masterpiece", and complimented" → "a pop masterpiece." He also complimented" per MOS:QUOTE
  • Mention that the Adult Contemporary chart is a Billboard one
  • Merge the Adult Top 40 and Canadian Digital Song Sales chart sentences per the overly short length

Music video

[edit]
  • Merge with the below section and retitle to Promotion per the overly short sizes
  • "In it, Trainor and Swims" → "In the video, Trainor and Swims"

Live performances

[edit]
  • Make this the second para of the above section
  • "On August 24, 2022 they" → "On August 24, 2022, they"

Charts

[edit]
  • Good

Release history

[edit]
  • None of these should be sortable
  • Format → Format(s)

References

[edit]
  • Copyvio score looks fab at 18.0%!!!
  • Why is Meghan Trainor linked on ref 14 but not ref 9? Also, shouldn't it cite Epic Records as publisher and her as author?
  • I was advised against putting the label as the publisher at an FAC, apparently it causes an internal ref error that is visible when the page is edited.
  • Remove or replace ref 18 per WP:FORBES
  • Remove or replace ref 19 per WP:RSSM
  • Cite Today as work/website instead on ref 32

Final comments and verdict

[edit]
The sentence "features American singer-songwriter Teddy Swims" is included in the Background section and sourced to this. Her recording it as a duet with Swims is also reliably sourced and included in the Composition and lyrics section, and a comment about them sharing vocal chemistry on it from a reliable critic is also present in the Reception section. Introducing a wikilink in the user field of the cite tweet template produces errors so I won't be able to do that one. Regards.--NØ 09:35, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
