The article fails the Notability guidelines for songs in wikipedia as not only none of the three bullet points in the guidelines are met, but also there is not a single "subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label." Furthermore, in the links there is one interview with the artist "This excludes media reprints of press releases, or other publications where the artist, its record label, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the work", and the only source that could be considered here "One to watch" is under a discussion for being unreliable, See here. There is only one source that is reliable "Billboard", however, it should be multiple according to the guidelines above, which it is not the case.

Delete - This one is a close call because the song's video got noticed by a few magazines for its production values, including Billboard (already cited) and a few others like this: [1]. But those are still relatively brief mentions, and the song is discussed occasionally in media reports on the singer overall. Those do not add up to sufficient notability for this song. I would not be opposed to a basic redirect to the singer's article if anyone thinks it's a good idea; note that this is a standalone single and there is no parent album. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 20:31, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Finneas O'Connell: The song has been mentioned in a number of articles, but was barely discussed. ASTIG😎 _{(ICE T • ICE CUBE)} 02:20, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect - No coverage in reliable secondary sources, not enough quality information to justify an article.—N Ø 19:27, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
