General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: A well-written and well-sourced article. It is new and long enough, and Earwig shows that it is copyvio-free. I think the original hook is interesting enough, and the sources provided for the hooks check out (although for the ALT2 hook, both The Guardian and Billboard sources used the word "dream" instead of "nightmare", it might be better to change the word choice back to "dream" in accordance with the sources). Good to go! —Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 12:31, 29 August 2024 (UTC) —Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 12:31, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I changed it to dream.--N Ø 07:52, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll be reviewing this soon! FishLoveHam (talk) 19:06, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Prose

Incredibly strong prose, I only have a few comments.

Lead

"personal flaws" → "flaws".

Background and release

"&" → "and" (WP:&)
"over a period of" → "over".
Remove the comma after "album" (para 3).

Critical reception

"about it" feels a little clunky, try rewording or remove.

References

Why are some sources archived, yet others aren't?

The use of singlechart templates is usually encouraged, and I haven't seen anybody adding archives to those. The others are all archived.--N Ø 12:41, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Personally I would, but it isn't a requirement, so I'll leave it up to you. FishLoveHam (talk) 14:07, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Earwig's copyvio reported 32.4% in similarity

Seems like a fine score since it's not catching authored content but rather attributed song lyrics.--N Ø 12:41, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah it's a good score, just something I felt was necessary to point out. FishLoveHam (talk) 14:07, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Overall, this should be a quick, easy pass, ping when you've addressed my comments! FishLoveHam (talk) 18:38, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, FishLoveHam. All should be addressed now. I am glad you found the prose strong. I do love this song and worked quite hard on this!--N Ø 12:41, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You've done a great job. Passing :) FishLoveHam (talk) 14:08, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
