Critical reception
News.com.au called the track "body positive" and said Anne-Marie had been striking a "resounding chord" with tracks like "Perfect".[3] GQ reviewed Anne-Marie's live performance of the song at a Rough Trade store in Brooklyn, saying "she begins shouting her insecurities to the audience: about wanting longer legs, never fitting in, and eating copious amounts of dessert. Then she does the unthinkable. She grabs and pinches her own body fat onstage", going on to say she knows how to "put on a show".[4]
Promotion
Anne-Marie announced the release of the track on 31 October, and performed the new version for the first time live in the studio on BBC Radio 2 on 31 October 2018.[5]
