Lead and infobox

"The song was released on June 20, 2018 as a promotional single for Trainor's third studio album, Treat Myself (2020). The song was serviced to hot adult contemporary radio as the lead single from Trainor's second EP The Love Train on February 11, 2019." I believe this was meant to be a promo single for the initial release of Treat Myself but was later used as a single for the EP and used as a bonus track, right? Clarify that it was meant to be a promo single for the initial intended release of Treat Myself
"The song was written by Trainor, Jacob Kasher Hindlin and Andrew Wells, and produced by the latter." the "former" and "latter" can only be used when talking about two subjects. Replace "the latter" with "Wells"
Move the reference about the song's length; mention the length in the Inspiration section
Remove the cites from the lead

Background and release

I believe it is worth mentioning the album's delay, just like in the Evil Twin article

Inspiration and reception

Mention the song's genre and length at the beginning of the section
Add the following sentence from the lead alongside its source to this section: "Billboard described it as "fun" and "danceable""
Reword this sentence, specially what's on bold: "The perky pop song sees Trainor "laying down the law", as she coos in the verse and playfully chides in the chorus"
Wasn't this song reviewed by more critics?
Merge the Chart performance section onto the last paragraph of this section, since it is still part of the "reception" of the track

Music video

Any reviews for the music video?
"She would sing Trainor's song "Dear Future Husband" while looking in the mirror when she was 14 years old." I think just saying that she was a fan of Trainor, specially "Dear Future Husband" is enough; the "looking in the mirror when she was 14 years old" does not seem too encyclopedic to me
What do you mean with an "unexpected date"? it seems to be the opinion of an editor
Could you elaborate on the synopsis? You can use the YouTube clip as a source

References

Ref 15 does not support the release date of the song, remove it
Ref 2 actually states the release date of the track as June 21, not 20
Remove ref. 5, the information on that tweet is included on ref. 6
Include an archived url of ref 7 because Billboard now wants me to pay to read the article

Overall

Add information about the song's live performances
Unlikely violation of copyright, so everything is fine here
These are comments that can be solved in a matter of minutes. I'm going to put this on hold. Regards, Paparazzzi (talk) 03:08, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

All done, Paparazzzi. Sorry for the lack of reviews, lol. The label butchered the song's release and so initial coverage of it was very muted. And there is no secondary coverage of any performances, neither did Trainor ever tweet about one.--N Ø 06:44, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Since my comments have been addressed, I'm going to pass this nomination. Congratulations! --Paparazzzi (talk) 00:14, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
