This song is on the new Wiz Khalifa album "Blacc Hollywood", check it out!
I think Dr. Luke has lost some creativity during these last years, his songs sound like nothing new lately. I don't want to be offensive, but he's being using the same productions chops for years, it's time to look for something fresh like Max did :)
He needs a new collaborator or give Cirkut a more interesting approach to the sound.

Yeah that could work, have you noticed that he hardly works with benny blanco anymore.
Yeah Benny Blanco seems to prefer Ryan Tedder, Stargate and Cashmere Cat these days. To me it seems like Benny really has been searching for new adventures!
This is not at all meant in an offensive or sarcastic way, but:
Wrong category! :-[
What I liked on this is....the verses didn't really grab me, but then the pre chorus and chorus goes so hard and is great, but then he delays going back to the chorus for longer than I expected.......and then doesn't return to it at the end of the song......all of which means you have to play the whole song over again...very clever! :D
Honestly I wouldn't have even though this was by Dr. Luke....to me it's quite different.....

the chorus is 100% Luke/Cirkut
Listened again...the way they made like a pre-chorus with the bass line under the rap just before the second chorus is totally great......this is an awesome song.....completely grabs you by the b***s.......
*Third listen.....now I see.....it's tricky.....doesn't actually go back to the true chorus until the end......there's all this tension build-up, build-up with the bassline under the rap, but doesn't get resolved until the end.....incredible.......
Haha in my opinion luke is the one that has been best lately and has stayed on a high level delivering tight songs.
Benny though is definitely trying new stuff working with new people and in my opinion makes worse songs now.
I love this song for example.
But the thing is I love bennys productions but just the last year or so he hasn't impressed on me
To me, this is a strange kind of track for a hip-hop artist.
It works well, but it's not really appealing to a mainstream audience.
About Benny, I'm sure he will be one of the biggest surprises in the future: he's been doing a lot of interesting stuff and working with people so different like Jessie Ware and Maroon 5 and doing a great job in both cases.

Well wiz always had these pop kinda songs on his albums and he actually has a good voice (especially if you give it a nice Melodyne treatment lol).
I'm actually surprised about the Ghost Loft featured song, I loved the original one and I'm impressed about the track.
Nice work.

along with Ryn Weaver and Ariana Grande - been digging Ryn's EP and Why Try
Dr.Luke alone is not so great than Dr.Luke with MAX.
Same for the others producers like RAMI,ANDREAS CARLSSON,KRISTIAN LUNDIN.
When they worked with MAX ...ALWAYS on top....left MAX.....missing
Dr Luke really needs Max or at least Benny Blanco. This song is not my thing, it's quite boring to me.

Same goes for Max though
Hahaha dr luke has also produced great songs alone, like Party In The USA, Girlfriend, etc. But i feel he's losing that special thing which made him succesful. He used to pick 4 chords, use a sound and create a hit.

He ran out of ideas and Cirkut is doing much minimal hiphop inspired production now as well...
