I think Bono’s voice sounds good.
That’s the only nice thing I have to say about this song.

It's a song that will be heard during the tournament,then it will dissappear off the face if the earth.
This might get some radio airplay is what I was thinking too...

Well, definitely over Get Out, at least.
Bono sounds great on the chorus.
The Edge should have stayed at home, looks like he's following his SOE habit of letting other people do the work for him.
Your opinions are fucking ludicrous sometimes man
Surely you can at the very least admit that it's ridiculous to express some warmth towards this song but then knock all of Coldplay's songs which sound exactly the same (but I would argue are marginally better because Martin is younger and his voice suits it more).He doesn't sound good. He doesn't sound awful, but he does sound bland, there's no character there, the lyrics are garbage and yet another entry into the 6+ word nonsensical U2 song canon, Edge's guitar and the whole sound is just saccharine, sugary, EDMy trash that could have been performed by literally anyone. The only part I don't outright dislike is his hushed vocals halfway through the song.
Looking forward to going to a U2 concert in 2023 where a third of the playlist is songs from the last five years, but they only play the objectively terrible ones, and I have to stand there through Get Out, this song, Ordinary Love, Best Thing, American Soul, 13 etc just to hear some of my favourite songs. Sigh. (though I do like Love is Bigger).

I don't hate the song, it's functional background music for ads, but it sounds completely devoid of any grit or spontaneity. I can't fucking believe two people involved in the making of this song recorded Zoo Station and Acrobat.

Not a bad point. Actually, this could be a good thing for U2 fans if they get these kinds of songs out of their system.

Nice to have anything new and incase it’s not clear, this is not a song by U2, it’s really U Half.

I woke up able to sing the chorus after only listening once.
The song does its job.

Yeah, for those who have been constantly annoyed with Bono squeezing as many words as he can in the verses/chorus, this one is an improvement.
Dare I say I like the song? I mean, put it against other non album tracks like Window in the Skies, The Saints Are Coming, even Ordinary Love, I'd probably pick this one first.

I’ve heard worse EDM tracks. This one I guess is pretty simple. Bono sounds fine.

I can read.
The song would have slotted just fine into the front half of SOE, regardless of the personnel.

Oof I disagree. It would stick out quite obviously.

Yeah, seriously, delete Get Out, replace Best Thing with the Kygo version and put this song next to it, and you have a fun first half of SOE.

There seems to be this notion that “catchy” means “good.” I can’t get with that.

it's a fine song for the background of a coke commercial, i suppose.

On subsequent listens, chorus is pretty sturdy, and it has a let’s-run-wild-now-that-we-vax’d vibe to it.
It’s totally u2-does-Coldplay-doing-u2 though. As many have said.

That's alright I think.
Its a collaboration with a Dutch DJ for an up coming footy tournament based in Europe, so it does exactly what it says on the tin - from the production to the lyrics to the sound mix. Bono is sounding ok, is restrained with it and a nice bit of Edge at the start.
Annoyingly after a single listen the melody is already stuck in my head.

Reminds me of Bono on I Believe In Father Christmas.
He sounds great. Nice melody. Forgettable song.

This song sounds like a euro vision song contest entry. It's garbage.
