Reception
editIdolator's Mike Wass called the song an "apocalyptic electropop anthem about the end of the human race", and noted Poppy's robotic vocal delivery as well as the song's "ominous" chorus.[2] Steph Evans of Dancing Astronaut said the song is "infectious modern pop underlined by Diplo's production".[5]
Promotion
