Didn't chart. I tried to redirect with explanation, was reverted without explanation, so bringing here instead. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 10:00, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. A song or single doesn't have to be a huge hit to be notable. It's single that is off of a very popular album, it followed two other hit singles, On the Regular, Call It Off, by this same artist, Shamir. It's notable enough for that and has enough media coverage to be notable. Neptune's Trident (talk) 17:35, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Of course a song has to be a "hit" to be notable. The entirety of the policy on individual songs says "A single requires its own notability, and that notability is not inherited and requires independent evidence. That a single is an officially released recording by a notable musician or ensemble is not by itself reason for a standalone article.". Dennis Brown - 2¢ 18:41, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Fails Wikipedia:NSONGS. Above comment seems to rely purely on Wikipedia:INHERITED. No independent third party coverage. Azealia911 _talk 20:21, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom's accurate analysis. Fails NSONGS and GNG. Cavarrone 06:27, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per nom and above editors. Searches did not turn up anything to show the standalone notability of this song. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NSONG. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:24, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
