11/20/2023 0 Comments Stuck with you season 1![]() ![]() The Biebs has never been shy about tossing randos on various deluxe editions, so if anything, it might be an iTunes/Target/Mega Deluxe Edition bonus track available on the Finnish edition. Joe Lynch: It’s almost impossible for me to imagine Ari putting this on a proper LP since she’s lately been such an “album artist” delivering cohesive statements. Jason Lipshutz: “Stuck With U” most specifically sounds like it could have belonged on the back half of Grande’s Sweetener album, amidst the more pillowy moments of introspection like “Goodnight n Go” and “Get Well Soon.” I don’t expect Grande to return to that type of sonic approach on her next full-length, and “Stuck With U” doesn’t really fit within Bieber’s current future-R&B vibe, so I’d guess that this remains a special one-off for both. All that being said, Ari and Bieber, if either of you are one record away from completing a new project, by all means toss this on there. But this song is so anchored to this time that it’s hard to imagine it fitting elsewhere plus, with the charity component, I imagine that could introduce some hurdles in terms of including it on an album and rerouting funds from one track. Unless… either comes out of quarantine with a fresh album on their hands. Between Bieber and Grande, which artist’s next album would you imagine “Stuck With U” to be a more natural fit on - or do you think both will leave it as a one-off? ![]() (“Baby, run your mouth” is almost as strange a love song lyric as John Legend‘s “What would I do without your smart mouth” - maybe just stay away from mouths altogether, dudes.) The timeliness and charitable aims make it hard to be too sour on this one, but I can’t imagine it being a jam I return to if/when the world re-opens.Ģ. It’s a solid and logical pairing, artistically and vocally, but the song isn’t all the way there for me. In short, the sweetness-level of this song is definitely tied to who you’re currently stuck with.Īndrew Unterberger: In between Sweet’N Low and Honey Nut Cheerios. I imagine that if I were stuck with my bae, I’d play the song on loop as I gently coerce him into doing TikTok challenges with me in true Justin and Hailey style. Though if you’re in a LDR or single, then it’s more of a skippable song for me (I’m not bitter, you are). Mia Nazareno: It is definitely on the sweeter, Honey Nut Cheerios side if you are quarantining with your significant other. Joe Lynch: I’d put it at Honey Nut Cheerios, as the sweetness is certainly akin to Saturday morning breakfast with cartoons: kid-friendly, libido-free, comforting and just a little sluggish, but in a pleasant sort of way. Two pop superstars joining forces to capture a unique historical moment while raising money for charity? Sign me up, even if the chemistry on display here takes a few listens to be fully absorbed. Jason Lipshutz: Let’s give it that Honey Nut Cheerios level of sweetness - “Stuck With U” has pretty quickly grown on me, and I now hear the interplay between Justin and Ariana on the track as soothing after initially finding it sleepy. Mentioning a specific oversized shirt someone has been wearing for a week straight, or finding a way to rhyme something affectionate with sourdough, or whatever baking trend is happening right now… that would do it for me. This song is 10/10 cute, and definitely has some sweet lines (particularly these two in Bieber’s verse: “I’ma get to know you better/ Kinda hope we’re here forever”) but personally, I’m a sucker for hyper-specific lyrics in a love song. Lyndsey Havens: Honestly, I’m resisting every urge to select Watermelon Sugar only because that music video is top of mind right now, but I have to go with Sweet’N Low. least to most) how genuinely sweet do you find the song to be?
