“No Goodbyes” is a pretty song, sure, but, again, I just have a hard time remembering it when Lipa has so many slammers in her catalog.
5. “Boys Will Be Boys”
Like “Good in Bed,” “Boys Will Be Boys” is also jarring on Future Nostalgia —not for its sound but its sentiment. It’s a very serious song about the innate differences between men and women. That’s a great, powerful statement to make, but it’s a bit off in the context of this album, which up until “Boys Will Be Boys,” is a full-on dance party about frothier topics.
4. “No Lie” with Sean Paul
Lipa adopts a bit of a reggae-tinged accent on this tropical pop track, which in itself is just off.
3. “High” with Whethan
This sexed-up song from the Fifty Shades Freed soundtrack never really takes off and has a beat drop that’s too muffled to properly enjoy.
2 “Room for 2”
“Room for 2” is one of the only songs Lipa didn’t perform on her 2017 tour, and there’s a reason for that. It’s simply too damn sleepy, with a chorus that, sorry, sounds like a creepy children’s nursery rhyme.
1. “My Love” with Wale, Major Lazer and Wiz Kid
The biggest crime here is that Lipa gets lost in the shuffle of her collaborators. That, and the fact the track is generic unz-unz fare. She has far better club songs. (Please see: My entire “best” list.)
