Per your request. Dance music is probably the genre that interests me the most so this should be fun to review! LOVI 33 14:41, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Infobox and lead

Infobox looks good!
This article is about the house song → This article is about the Ty Dolla Sign song; or something along those lines

Done --K. Peake 07:03, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

it expands on West's "Fade" → it expands on West's 2016 song "Fade"

Not done I noted the release year in the body so I don't think I need to here as well --K. Peake 07:03, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm kinda confused about what "the former" is in "Initially previewed after the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April 2019, the former experienced an internet leak in March 2020"

Because "Fade" was referenced second in the previous sentence, I thought I would use the former to differentiate... or should it be the song instead, as I only use "it" previously? --K. Peake 07:03, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

US Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart → US Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart, published by 'Billboard

Done --K. Peake 07:03, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Background and recording

I've been told that Quoteboxes are discouraged in music-related articles. Perhaps a switch to the {{Quote}} template would be better.

Are you sure this is correct since I've seen GAs like "Frail State of Mind" use quoteboxes, plus blockquote looks awkward at the beginning of a section? --K. Peake 07:03, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Prose looks amazing!

Composition and lyrics

House music is a style Club (EDM). Are you sure it should be listed?
to "Fade" by West → to "Fade" as it was mentioned above that it is by West

Done for the above --K. Peake 07:03, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Release and promotion

The song later experienced a release to US → The song was later serviced to US

Done --K. Peake 07:03, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

References

No copyright violations!
All citations look good!

Verdict

Overall, it is an amazingly well-written article. Only a few concerns so I will put this article On hold for now. Defiantly GA quality. Good job! LOVI 33 03:26, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

LOVI33 Thanks a lot for the review over a short period of time, I have implemented most of the changes and left comments for you regarding the others. --K. Peake 07:03, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Great! ✓ Pass. LOVI 33 14:41, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
