Grabbing this for a review. Aoba47 (talk) 17:04, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lead and infobox

I do not believe that the references in the lead are necessary as none of the information appears to be particularly controversial, and all of the cited information should be in the body of the article and supported through the same references anyway.
I would remove the phrase "included as the fourth track on the record" from the first sentence as it is not necessary.
There should be an additional comma in "Eriksen, Hermansen and Kygo" if you are using the Oxford comma, which you have done in a previous list in the lead (i.e. duo Mikkel Eriksen and Tor Erik Hermansen of Stargate, Kygo, Priscilla Renea, and Simon Wilcox).
Link "Critics" in the first paragraph to music criticism.
I am not sure if the link to the "human body" is entirely necessary, and I would recommend revising "a human body" to "the human body" instead.
I would revise the following phrase (as a metaphor to tell a lover to write their strengths, flaws and truths, exposing their true selfs to that individual) to (as a metaphor to tell a lover to expose their strengths, flaws, and truths) to be more concise as the original phrasing seems unnecessarily drawn out. Also, please be consistent with whether or not you are using the Oxford comma or not.
I am a little confused by the phrase "Driven to show a vulnerable side". Who was driving them to show a vulnerable side?
I am not sure what is meant by "a different path" in the phrase "a different path that listeners could hear with this track."
Please link Camila Cabello and use her full name when you first mention her in the lead.
Everything looks good in the infobox.

Background and release

Clearly identify Fifth Harmony in the body of the article, rather than the generic phrase "the group", and link to their main article. Remember that the body of the article is treated separately from the lead and should be clear and concise to those who have not read the lead.
Please link Camila Cabello and user her full name when you first mention her in the body of the article.
Link Entertainment Weekly.
Link Reflection and add the year in which it was released.
The quote in the phrase (and was something all her groupmates "fought for) does not appear to be entirely necessary, and I think it would be better if you paraphrased the information.
The following phrase (This was something that was not very present in their debut album, Reflection, she recalls,) sounds somewhat awkward to me on two levels: 1) I would suggest not starting a sentence with "This" so I would phrase and 2) the way that you are citing what Cabello says (with "she recalls") appear almost too much like a narrative rather than an encyclopedia. I would move that to the start of the sentence with "She recalled".
I would link Ally Brooke (even if it is a redirect to her section in the main article, it is still helpful). I would also clearly define that she is a member of the group. Same goes for Cabello, as this is not made entirely clear from the context of this article alone, and it may be confusing to an uninformed reader.
Link Fuse.
Is this sentence (Ally Brooke also shared similar sentiments with Fuse when discussing the album's differences from their previous.) really necessary if it is only confirmation of what was already stated above. I would either suggest removing it if Brooke did not add anything new or have a sentence that said something along the lines of Cabello and Brooke found the track to showcase the group's vulnerability to the start of the paragraph and then going off into Cabello's opinions. Either way, this part needs revision.
In the phrase (you're asking somebody to "write" on you), 'write' should be in single quotation marks as it is part of a quote.
The following sentence (An accompanying music video was released on the group's official Vevo channel on May 6, 2016.) should be removed as it is unsourced, used in a later section, and not directly relevant here.

Composition and lyrics

In the sentence (The song is characterized by a "slow melody" in comparison to Fifth Harmony's previous works.), attribute who is the one making the comparison between this song and the previous work.
I do not see "tropical house" in the MTV source. Either remove it or find a source that say this. If you do not have a source for "tropical house", then the lead and infobox will have to be adjust accordingly.
The first sentence in the first paragraph (about the writing and production credits) needs citation.
The following sentence (She also notes the tame atmosphere the song has from previous singles from the group) seems to be a repeat of this information from a previous sentence (The song is characterized by a "slow melody" in comparison to Fifth Harmony's previous works.)
This sentence needs to be revised (Lyrically, the song is about a lover writing the flaws and impressions they see in their love interest, from the perspective of the group), particularly the "from the perspective of the group" part as it does not make sense in this context.
Use Normani Kordei's full name when you first mention her and link her as well.
The entire second paragraph is not sourced.
Add a link to chorus.
Who is saying the following sentence (The pen is a metaphor for the lover's mind and the paper is represented as the love interest.). It sounds/reads like original research since it is not cited by anything.

Critical reception

(pictured) in the photo caption is unnecessary and should be deleted.
Please revise this section to make it have more structure as right now it appears to be just a listing of various reviews without any clear rhyme or reason. I would highly recommend using this resource. I am not going to go too much into the prose issues with this section as I would recommend changing this quite a bit on the structure level first.

Music video

The screenshot does not appear necessary as it does not directly connect to any sort of critical commentary, and appears to only be there for decoration. Remember, non-free media is encouraged only to be used when necessary. I would remove the screenshot for the above reasons.
The entire "Synposis" subsection is uncited.

Other sections

All of the other sections seem fine. I would encourage you to look for more resources though as I would imagine that there would be more critical commentary on this song given the popularity of the band.
The behind the scenes video should not be included in the "External links" section so please remove it.

Verdict

I can tell that a lot of work has been put into the article, but I do not believe it is ready for GAN in its current state. I am going to ✗ Fail this. Aoba47 (talk) 17:31, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
