I barely see Walk it Back’s chorus as a trad chorus - it’s more in the Lemonworld ‘duh duh duh duh - losing my breath - duh duh duh duh’ mode.



It’s not trying to do the job of a chorus as such is what I’m saying :/

When it hits, it hits hard, but those moments are too few and far between. And if you don't like Turtleneck or the lead single, I can't imagine anyone rating this higher than a 4.

It might just be Stockholm syndrome but I kind of love Turtleneck now, especially after hearing it live.
