If you want to hear a song that is the epitamy of what Prince was yearning to capture with the Breakdown than google the lyric video of Shawn Mendes "life of the party".Even though its just a sixteen year old kid who didnt write the song and the song is not in the Prince style this is the type of meloncholy whistful song Prince used to master with songs like Electric Intercourse and Sometimes it snows.Its not really his fault obviously as he stated clarvoyently in 85.Even the most masterful musicians only have so many notes in them.Sigh.Time is merciless.

You've got to be joking, that song is absolutely shit. I don't like The Breakdown that much either but comparing it to that drivel is ridiculous.

If you can't be bothered to post a link, why would I seek it?

i dont know whats the point of this topic,mods ?

I'm guessing OP is Shawn Mendes. Or friends with him

If I were a 14 y/o girl I might find that song interesting. But anyhow.. thanks but no thanks. I couldn't make it past the cheesy chorus.

man i hate to be so critical. but i couldn't even listen to the whole thing. i had to turn it off. it's really really dreadful.

You guys are all out of it.Teenage girls or not a top trendinf song has to be a great pop song in the mold of a Beatles I wanna hold your hand or Princes I wanna be your lover.When Prince was criticized for being teenage fluff while I wanna be your lover has withstood the test of time for being a great song and a great hook.Somethimg Prince couldnt muster now to save his life.And dont know this guy Mendes from Adam.

And why does a 'trending' pop song automatically have to be good?

Why oh why are you comparing Shawn Mendes to the The Beatles and Prince

I Wanna Be Your Lover has withstood the test of time? Maybe. Not for me.

At any rate, idiots need to stop believing that popularity has anything to do with quality. Basically what this moron is saying is that if we just took all the number one hits from the last uear and made a mixtape we'd have the best album in the world. Jesus.

This drivel is slightly better than that bag of dicks known as Phillip Phillips, but just barely. Some of the most cliche, written-by-committee lyrics I've ever heard.

My dear child, that garbage was written soley to make money, the emotion is false and designed to get little girls to believe Disney Princess love is real and to hopefully become the song for prom this year. Nothing else. If you believe there is any sincerity in that song, if you believe for a second that his label didn't have him adjust it until it fit the focus group data for the greatest demographic impact then you, my friend, are a teenage girl. I'd guess closer to 7th grade than 12th.

Pure garbage lyrically.

Musically, it's pretty typical of the shit that's floating around the airwaves these days. Not even worthy of analysis.

Good day, young lady.

Prince was never considered teenage fluff.

Listen Shithead a moron and an idiot hardly.I fully understand the falseness and manipulation of pop music.And nonone ever said that evert hit was worth its chart position.if anything the opposite is true.But if it was so simple to write a marvelous hook than artists that once were the hooksters would do it for years and so would you instead of pretending to be an intellectual on a fan forum.You in your pretentious musical snobberry probaly think anything played on top 40 radio is empty and contrived.This song is classic pop soul full of the emotions that that entails.
