Review coming soon.

Infobox and lead

• The article should use {{mdy}} dates as Rexha is American

•  Not done The refs don't use mdy dates.

• The cover needs alt text
• The genre in the infobox should be electropop (see below)
• I would remove the "first cover" as it comes from an unreliable source (WP:ALBUMAVOID) and there's no explanation as to why it is the "first cover"
• "from her debut extended play" → "from her debut extended play,"
• "as the lead single" → remove, it's not cited anywhere
• "It is" → " "I Can't Stop Drinking About You" is"
• "melancholia-inspired" → this sounds weird so I'd remove it entirely
• The genre is electropop (see below)
• "widespread acclaim" → I'd change to just "positive reviews" as there are not that many sources used to call it acclaim
• "It failed to enter the US Billboard Hot 100" → remove per WP:CHARTTRAJ
• "Drawing influence" → who drew influence?

• I would recommend saying something along the lines of "A music video was released...It draws influence from" to flow better.

• I would not call the video accompanying as it was not released on the same date as the song

Background and composition

• Some background on her career would help as this is her debut single

• Done. Iaof2017 (talk) 16:35, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
  • AllMusic should be tagged as a publisher on the ref and it has an author too

• "as the lead single from Rexha's debut extended play I Don't Wanna Grow Up (2015)" → not given by the source

• Reference added. [1] Iaof2017 (talk) 12:16, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

• "melancholia-inspired" → see above
• The pop genre is sourced to ref 8, which is a press release. This falls under WP:PRIMARY and it'd be inappropriate to include what the record label defined the song as so remove it and only keep the electro-pop genre which is sourced by Vibe
  • I'm not sure what it should cite for "It begins as an ballad and turns into a pop rock song.", so please remove what is supposed to cite as well/
• "EDM elements" and "electronic production" are sourced by ref 8 too so remove them as well

Reception

• "widespread acclaim" → see above
• Bradley Stern and Brad Stern are the same person, please condense his review into one

• Idolator should be italicized and it should be just MTV instead of MTV Buzzworthy.

• See under references for Bustle and Club Corbeille
• "failed to enter the US Billboard Hot 100" → see above

Music video

• See above for "accompanying"
• "American creative director" → WP:TMI
• "a bit of anger, frustration, sadness, the craziness" should be in quotes as this comes directly from Rexha
• "vacant-appearing" → "vacant" suffices
• "dark-lit" → "dark" suffices
• "clad" → "dressed"
• "and face-to-face with a man" → "facing a man"
• "impulses."[18][16]" → refs should be in increasing order

Track listing

• Fine

Charts

• Fine

Release history

• Link digital download to Music download and streaming to Streaming media

• It's linked in the first instance, isn't that enough? Iaof2017 (talk) 12:12, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
  • This is in a separate table so it should be linked as well.

• Format → Format(s)
• The remixes EP should be included here as well

References

• Ref check: 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 16
• Copyvio at 32.4% which is fine but I would recommend paraphrasing Rexha's quote from the background and composition section
• Club Corbeille is a blog according to their about page so it should be removed
• Bustle is considered of marginal reliability at WP:RSP and I can't find any credits for Alex Kritselis so this should be removed too (it's also not listed at WP:RSMUSIC)
• Why was this source removed?

• Added. Iaof2017 (talk) 12:28, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
  • De-capitalize the i in both the body and the ref. The ref also has a date.

• For ref 1, the "Open description for credits" note isn't needed as there's no credits in the description
• For ref 4, just "various countries" is enough
• Ref 8 isn't cited properly per WP:SINGLE?

• Positioned in the release history section. Iaof2017 (talk) 12:21, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
  • It should be cited with {{cite press release}}

• Idolator should be cited as a work on refs 3 & 6
• For ref 11, WP:OVERLINK of MTV and the publisher is just MTV

•  Not done Assuming this is ref 13 now.

• The archive links for the Idolator sources don't work, please archive them manually with archive.today

Outcome

•  On hold for 7 days. A few issues but the article isn't that far from becoming a GA. Sebbirrrr (talk) 18:09, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

• Hey @Sebbirrrr:, thanks for the review. I've addressed your concerns, with few comments above. Iaof2017 (talk) 17:08, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
  • @Iaof2017: Thanks for addressing them. I've left a few more regarding certain ones but great work overall! Sebbirrrr (talk) 18:26, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
    • Hi @Sebbirrrr:, done. All dates use mdy format. Iaof2017 (talk) 19:40, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

      @Iaof2017: I added the author for the AllMusic source but aside from that everything else has been addressed!  Passing now. Sebbirrrr (talk) 22:23, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
