Pigwig is great, fuck the haters
So I totally understand the criticism and dislike for Coming On Strong and especially Love Bombs (I had mixed feelings about those at first too) but I genuinley don't understand how people are hating on Pigwig. And it doesn't just seem like criticism or a disliking to it, but actual hate and really nasty things are being said.
I actually really like the cheesy and tounge and cheek lyrics on this song because they're so oddly specific and you just know it comes from a very real place; lines and references from the song were clearly spoken and things that are said clearly happened in real life (Kele even came out and said a while ago that everything heard on the album actually happened). I think that gives the song a lot more meaning and makes it that much more special, yet bittersweet too. I also think there are some great lyrics and really beautiful lines here and there that aren't so cheesy.
I really dig the instrumentals and the overall production of the song. It's not supposed to sound heavy, it's clearly a more upbeat pop sounding tune. Kele's vocals on this track really shine too, by far his best performance out of the singles for the album yet. The chorus is super catchy as well and it has a great hook.
Personally, I liked the song as soon as I heard it and I'm liking it more and more each subsequent listen. Now We Can't Be Friends is my favourite so far from the album and I LOVE that song, it instantly clicked with me, but I think people are being really harsh with Pigwig. Each to their own, but some people are being straight up horrible and unfair I feel like.
