I guess you gotta go
I guess it's time to go
I gotta let you go
To FAC you go, to FAC you go

Since the two musicians who performed this song—SZA and Travis Scott―recently released another collaboration, I figured it'd be a good of a time as any to nominate one of their previous songs together. It includes a voice recording of SZA's deceased grandmother, which is a heartwarming gesture! Enjoy the article, everyone :) ‍ ‍ Elias 🌊 ‍ ‍ ^{💬 "Will you call me?"}

Comments from MyCatIsAChonk

• The song begins with a voice clip of Norma Rowe—SZA's grandmother... - instead of a dash, I think using a comma would be better, something like "The song begins with a voice clip of Norma Rowe, who is SZA's..."
  • Fair, but I'd leave out "who is" for concisions
• Like Scott, Rowe's vocals prominently featured in Ctrl; - add "are" before prominently
  • Not done; the sentence is in the past tense to signify Rowe's history of having her voice in SZA's songs
• Wl foil
  • Done
• A solo version of "Open Arms"... - are there multiple solo versions? Otherwise, use "the" instead of "a".
  • It is entirely within the realm of possibility that SZA recorded several demos/takes of the song that would become "Open Arms", and those technically count as versions . the use of the "a" article instead of "the" is to lean on the safe side and accountfor that possibility
• Note 5 could just be replaced with the Atwood Magazine ref, and include the quote in the quote parameter
• No citations in the "Credits" section? I'd imagine something similar to the short sentence in Title (song)#Credits and personnel
  • There is now !

Earwig shows no violations, and the sources look reliable and correctly formatted. Very nice work, Your Power! MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 15:50, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

• For the lead, I would shorten sentimental ballad to ballad as that is the more common wordage used.
  • Shortened
• I think this part, (with lyrics about realizing to leave a former partner to whom the other person has been devoted because it has become harmful for their self-esteem), would improve from further revision as I find that it reads rather awkwardly.
  • Point taken
• I have a suggestion for the last two sentences of the lead's first paragraph. I think it would be better to combine the part about this being the only SOS track with SZA's grandmother with the sentence on her vocals on CTRL as that would make the significance more obvious.
  • Done !
• Why not present Ctrl as CTRL? From my understanding, it is presented in all caps and it would match SOS.
  • Most sources do not spell the title in all caps; Ctrl is a play on the "ctrl" keyboard on many PCs, which is itself usually spelled not in all caps
    • That makes sense to me. For whatever reason, I had thought the album used all-caps, but thank you for correcting me about this. Aoba47 (talk) 17:37, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
• I have a comment for this sentence: ("Open Arms" marks Scott and SZA's fourth collaboration—a previous one was "Love Galore" (2017), the second single from Ctrl.) Why only list one of the four collaborations? It puts in my opinion undue weight on one of the four songs so I would either list all four or just say they had four collaborations without listing any. I am leaning toward the latter as the former could be very wordy.
• For this part, (Many contemporary critics focused on), I would just say critics. It is unnecessary to qualify what type of critics as there is not any other type of reception to confuse it with (i.e. like retrospective reviews).
  • Excised, for both
• I think the ballad link should be moved up to this part, (a balladic, soft, or heartfelt sound), since it comes first in the article.
  • Removed the part you mentioned; the link would be kept
• I have a clarification question about this sentence: (Apart from the "traditional" R&B that had been a staple of SZA's past works, many tracks had a balladic, soft, or heartfelt sound.) It implies a division between "traditional" R&B and music with balladic, soft, heartfelt sound, when I think songs can be both. I am just not fully grasping the contrast here. Maybe attributing who is saying this would be clearer and tie it less to Wikipedia's voice and to a person's opinion.
  • no RS says "Open Arms" is R&B, so i thought in my head maybe i should contrast the two sounds in discussion to prepare viewers for how "Open Arms" would be sonically , but u make a good point that the two arent mutually exclusive . perhaps "acoustic vs. R&B" is a better contrast to make
    • Thank you for correcting this point. It looks a lot better in my opinion. Aoba47 (talk) 17:37, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
• For this part, (collaborated a few times beforehand), use the exact number of collaborations they have done as it is known.
• When discussing "Ok Alright", I would clarify that it appears on Rodeo. It is the only one of the collaborations listed that is not attributed to an album, and it would help readers like myself who are unfamiliar with either artist to find out more context on this particular song.
  • Done both
• For the images in the "Lyrics" section, I would clarify in the photo captions the year the images were taken.
  • I feel like writing (left, 2017) or (right, 2019) would be too clunky from a reader perspective
    • I disagree to be honest, but I will leave that up to the image reviewer. Adding in the year would only help readers as it is unclear in the current format if the photos were taken around the time the song was recorded/released or much earlier. I think that kind of context is valuable to readers. Aoba47 (talk) 17:37, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
      • Seems like Nikki, the media reviewer below, took no issue with it .
• I have a question about point of view character. Would it be possible to simplify that to narrator?
  • Good thinking . that definitely couldve been more concisely put
• Would a link to ride-or-die chick for "ride-or-die" be beneficial? I could see some readers not fully understanding it.
  • definitely ! I had the same instinct with "backshots"
• The article says that Scott was the focus of critical reviews, and I was just curious if any reviews talked about SZA at all?
  • technically ? No doubt people will comment on her contributions, such as her voice—it is her song after all—but from what I understand, more critics, as cited in the article, prioritised Scott
    • That makes sense to me. Thank you for the explanation. Aoba47 (talk) 17:37, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
• I am uncertain of the relevance of the Midnights paragraph. To be clear, I am not saying to delete it or anything. I just do not fully see the connection between this song and the bonus material released to seemingly compete with Midnights, particularly when the Uproxx article names the other song ("PSA") in its headline over the solo version of this song. Again, not asking you to remove it, but I wanted to get more of your opinion on its inclusion here.
  • I believe it sets the scene for why the solo version of "Open Arms" got an official release in the first place . Saying it was included as part of an album edition with bonus tracks is one thing , and i would have left it at that in the article if that was the case! however , considering the web-exclusive was a surprise release and, despite its bonus tracks, decidedly not the deluxe version that SZA would tease later, there has to be something more to the situation . Thus it feels worth mentioning IMO that the "Open Arms" solo version was released alongside "PSA" to compete with Midnights sales as per Rolling Stone . As you might know these kinds of tactics happen all the time in the music industry (e.g. when Swift released "Anti-Hero" remixes right as Drake's "Rich Flex" was predicted to go #1, making it debut at #2 instead) ; that RS came to this conclusion is not surprising . Sorry for the long ramble—the issue is more nuanced than it seems at first glance, so I feel it warranted a response that lived up to that!
    • No need to apologize. I appreciate it and that clarifies things further for me. That makes complete sense to me. Thank you for taking the time to explain this matter. Aoba47 (talk) 17:37, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
• Elements from the "Credits" section should be represented in the prose as well. For instance, the studios are not mentioned in the prose and individuals like Dale Becker and Katie Harvey are not mentioned in the prose either.
  • Done
    • Thank you. Unless I am being dense and just missing it, I do not think the article actually explicitly says who wrote the song in the prose. This should be my only point. Once this is addressed, I will be more than happy to support the FAC based on the prose. Aoba47 (talk) 17:39, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

Hey there! Really great to see you in another FAC again ^_^ I'm gonna do some prose checks, then maybe a source review if no one would step in. GeraldWL 05:06, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

Resolved comments from GeraldWL 03:50, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

* "Featuring vocals from American rapper Travis Scott, the song is a sentimental ballad"-- I think "the song" can be changed to "it", since one sentence ago there's already a mention of "the song", thus being repetitive. Made a workaround Link studio album It is a term commonly used enough in music articles and in general that doing so would run afoul of WP:OVERLINK "Rowe's vocals featured prominently" --> "Rowe's vocals had been featured prominently" This would work if the preceding sentence was in simple past tense—thereby necessitating the use of past perfect tense as you suggest—but that sentence was in present tense, so nothing should be changed "fourth collaboration—a previous one was" -- "a previous one" just sounds awkward when read, I suggest "fourth collaboration, with the previous being" I removed this one entirely because whatever the previous collab was is irrelevant "a few" sounds too specific, "some" gives a broader sense of scope Sure Perhaps a genre section in the infobox will be great? No source gave it an explicit genre so no Sentimental ballad and/or R&B? As described in your prose. 1) sentimental ballad is not a genre, merely an "emotional style of music" as stated in our article for it. 2) once again, no source described it as R&B --- see the Music and production section Link studio album See above The "R&B" is linked to contemporary R&B, so shouldn't it be written such too? No. That would be a mouthful. As well, since we live in Contemporary Times(tm) we have to link readers to the R&B more commonplace nowadays. I think there will be no harm done to readers in piping the link. "confessional nature of its songwriting" should probably change "its" to "her" for clarity, and assuming SZA doesnt use it pronouns. Changed to "the" Link DJ or maybe use the longer term disc jockey for clarity Doing so would be overlink. Furthermore, "DJ" is the commonly used term (see also USA or NATO), so expanding the acronym is unnecessary "yet incorporated in her discography"-- maybe link to SZA discography? I removed that part of the article, so the suggestion is moot now "or in her words, "a little bit of everything""-- this is kinda redundant, as "an amalgamation of various disparate musical styles" means you already paraphrased her statement, I don't feel like it adds any emphasis like other quotes do. Not really Link sentimental ballad, then unlink the one in the next section Fixed the linking issue "sent their verses"-- does this mean like SZA requested them to maybe help with the songwriting? Well yes sort of . Sending your verses to somebody means you hop as a feature on the song I feel as though paragraph 1&2, and paragraph 3&4, can be combined since they concern the same topic, and I don't see why it is broken down. Doubt it ? Paragraph #1 concerns SZA's debut album and how it drummed up anticipation for the next one, #2 SZA's gradual revealing of what the album would be like, #3 collaborators, #4 SZA's history with Scott . These are themes disparate enough to be divided into paragraphs the way it currently does. I'm gonna check this on Monday, am only able to edit on App rn and am too lazy to go back and forth thru article lol. Okay Shouldn't "Black" be decapitalized? WP:RACECAPS tells us both are acceptable as long as the capitalization is consistent with all races mentioned in the article to avoid othering marginalised groups Link black music WL'd to African American music to be more context-specific "finger-picked guitar"-- maybe add the "acoustic" bit? Fixed "Scott performs with a gentle rap cadence. He uses his lower register, and his vocals are digitally manipulated using Auto-Tune." Should this be in past tense, since production was in past tense? I feel more strongly on the "and his vocals are digitally manipulated using Auto-Tune" part. The song's sound and production is a fixed fact of the song regardless of time, and as such, said facts should be presented in present tense I'd argue that the song's production specifically had already happened. It's like preferring "Spielberg wrote Jaws" in lieu of "Spielberg writes Jaws". It's not really a good analogy---a better one would be "Spielberg wrote Jaws" to "Rob Bisel produced Open Arms"---plus this is more a matter of tense consistency The — in the third para is kind of awkward following the ref; I think a comma can do. True. another person brought it up ""fuck on [her] ex""-- can't this be paraphrased to like, idk, "have sex with her ex"? Lmao-- plus it rhymes. "welcome the other person" --> "welcome each other" "By the end, however," with a comma after end. Done all three "sometime next month" --> "sometime the following month" Not done . Current iteration is more concise "Out of 23 songs, "Open Arms" appears as the 20th track" -- should prob be consistent between "songs" or "tracks" This distinction is okay and not a case of WP:ELEVAR I would argue . When talking about a song that's on an album, we call it a track . Using "track" therefore makes sense "third verse and praising him and" --> "third verse, praising him and" "praising him..." would become a dangling modifier - not done. Link slow jam Done "Variety's A. D. Amorosi and the Los Angeles Times's Mikael Wood found the composition of "grand and gorgeous" quality; Amorosi in particular deemed Scott the song's centerpiece." You could prob push both refs to the last sentence, I feel like using the same ref twice in one sentence feels weird when there's an alternative. Disagree. Any given quotation must have the relevant citation included directly after it "and Mendez"-- the "Mendez" is repetitive ? I don't like using "former" and "latter" in articles; this is a matter of personal style "XXL reported some people believed his verse was unnecessary: "'SZA is pouring her heart out in a song & here come Travis Scott talking about backshots... men will never be serious people,' typed one disappointed listener."" Are audience reactions merited here? because the section concerns critical reception, and WP has been very icky about audience responses. I do think it'd be safe to remove it The tracking week ending January 6, 2023, marked SOS's fourth week atop the Billboard 200 albums chart." What does "tracking week" mean? What it says on the tin - starting Friday, Billboard tracks how songs or albums perform commercially for 7 days for one chart issue, then they publish the chart on Saturday of next week. Could prob put a dot after the sentence What sentence The Credits adapted from liner notes bit. Periods don't punctuate phrases "Granny – lead vocals" -- isn't it more efficient to just write the full name? Feel free to correct me, since I'm not an expert in song articles, if perhaps copying the liner notes word-for-word is the requirement That's how Rowe is credited in the liner notes, and we have to adhere to that Aight A portal bar or box would be a fun little addition to the notes or down under the navboxes :) I don't know what you are talking about .

Spotcheck

Of this URL:

• 1: Not much from this source in the article.
• 4: Don't think that this specifically references "open arms" or says that the guitar was "finger-picked". In the source the quote says "favourite" not "favorite". The second footnote does not seem to draw much information from here, either.

  Not nominator here, but per the source "Travis Scott delivers an uncharacteristically – but brilliant – gentle verse on the finger-picked ‘Open Arms’"-- it explicitly states the track's name, and there's pretty much only one type of "finger picked". Changed favorite per WP:ARTCON. GeraldWL 04:11, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

• 23: Where does it say it was a single?

  Suggest changing to this. - GWL

  Found a better source, which is already used in the article - Elias

• 25: Where does it say that "open arms" was first?

  Earlier the article establishes that "Low" and "Open Arms" were the two collaborations, and the only two released collaborations, between SZA and Scott on the album. I doubt the cited Rolling Stone article has to explicitly say the claim you mentioned—the inference can be made from the article's "final track, 'Low'" quotation.

• 27: OK.
• 28: OK but see my comments on #4
  • Per the credits, the only string instrument used on the song is a guitar, so the "finger-picked" instrument has to be it - Elias
• 29: I don't see "center piece" nor "soft" nor "register"

  As a note, I see "On “Open Arms,” Travis Scott takes the ballad’s low-voiced center." - GWL

• 30: Can't access this source.

  OK. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:02, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

• 32: Is "autotuned" in the source the same as "Auto-Tune" on Wikipedia?

  It can be assumed so, rarely do people actually spell it out properly "Auto-Tune", "autotuned" is the more popular wording. - GWL

  Yes - Elias

• 34: OK.
• 41: OK.
• 46: Can't access this source.
• 49: Doesn't say "debut"

  I notice that the first paragraph somewhat hints a debut "And that’s translating to the live stage, too." With it being the first live performance of the entire album it's safe to assume it's also Open Arms' debut. But perhaps a source explicitly mentioning so will help. - GWL
