You don’t need me to tell you that a song with over a billion streams is good. But holy shit, this song is pretty fucking close to perfect. Regardless of your feelings about HS, this song exists and is objectively good if objectively means you are weighing it against ballads from the 80s, 90s, 00s, and 10s. So if you disagree with 40 years of SMASH vanilla teenage angst hits, maybe you are the problem.
