Infobox and lead
[edit]- Pipe Warner Bros to Warner Records in the infobox
- "for the 2019 film" → "for the soundtrack of 2019 film"
- "wrote the song with" → "co-wrote the song with"
- "also composed the films soundtrack" → "also composed the soundtrack"
- "the lead single from the film's soundtrack." → "the soundtrack's lead single."
- Shouldn't you write electropop track in the lead for consistency?
- I don't think it's placement in the lead really matters. I put it there just so the paragraphs don't look too overflowed. LOVI33 04:30, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
- I was referring to the term "song" being used instead of "track", but they are interchangeable so this doesn't really matter. --K. Peake 07:13, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
- "praised "Swan Song" for" → "praised the song for"
- Mention the award after the above statement instead
- "and reached the top 100 of" → "and also reached the top 50 of" cutting down the countries listed to these ones since top 100 is too many
- "specifically with its" → "specifically with the"
- "and eventually Alita. Lipa transforms into Alita" → "and eventually Alita, before Lipa transforms into her"
- "complimented its sci-fi" → "complimented the video's sci-fi"
- "as well as a remixes" → "and a remixes"
Done
Background and development
[edit]- "a new film, Alita: Battle Angel, that" → "the new film Alita: Battle Angel, which"
- Introduce Alita as being a character and pipe to Alita (Battle Angel Alita)
- "would be perfect for the film" → "would be a perfect fit for Alita: Battle Angel"

Done
Music and lyrics
[edit]- "ACT UP and" → "ACT UP, and" on the audio sample text
- ""Swan Song" is" → "Musically, "Swan Song" is"
- Shouldn't you write that it is composed in the time signature of 4
4 time? - Pipe synths to Synthesizer
- Pipe strings to String instrument
- "as well as a mechanized," → "and a mechanized,"
- "while the song builds up to the" → "while the sections progress to the" to be less repetitive
- "Lipa's uses triumphant" → "Lipa uses triumphant"
- Pipe ranging to Vocal range
- "as well as how society always needs use their voices;" → "as well as how their voices always need to be used;"
- "the groups motto" → "the group's motto" plus merge this with the following sentence since they are too short to be separate
- "contradicts it's meaning." → "contradicts its meaning."
Done
Release and promotion
[edit]- "would perform "Swan Song" for" → "would record "Swan Song" for" or something similar because otherwise it sounds like she performs it during the film

- "On 28 January," → "On 28 January 2019,"
- "and inspires one" → "and inspire one"
- "The song was included as" → ""Swan Song" was included as" plus I don't think the comma is needed after release
Done
Critical reception
[edit]- Retitle to Reception since you can merge with the one para commercial section below
- "For The New York Times, Jon Pareles compared" → "Writing for The New York Times, Jon Pareles compared"
- "as a "proper solo singles" instead" → "as a "proper" solo single instead"
- "he said it" → "he said the song"
- Uproxx should not be italicised

- "easily be her next" → "easily be [Lipa's] next"
- "praised "creative and" → "praised the "creative and"
- "that "sparse where" → "that is "sparse where"
Done
Commercial performance
[edit]- Make this the third para of the above section
- "a peak of 24." → "a peak of number 24."
- The charts after this are not in any numerical or geographical order; I would suggest doing the latter with European countries first, then American, then Oceanic
- "on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles" →"on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles" with the pipes
