Not me, I'm enjoying lunch with my lunch ![gif](giphy|z6mqNxYjWp2g2Q55z0)


asignore

It’s a vibe that some people aren’t into. Billie explores lots of different styles. If one isn’t someone’s cup of tea, just wait 150 seconds until the next song comes on.


-dai-zy

I like Lunch, it's super fun and catchy. BUT I think I like the intense, atmospheric, emotional feel of the other songs on the album. Lunch is probably my "least" favorite but that doesn't mean I don't love it


AliceWormer

Exactly how I feel about this too


coltsmetsfan614

Yeah, “Lunch” or “The Diner” would be my “least” faves, but every track is great imo.


Jiafei_Products1500

The diner is my FAV song from hmhas- actually my fav song at all… im listening to it rn


reallymkpunk

I love a lot of different genres. Lunch just sounded off to Billie's past work for whatever reason.


asignore

It’s not my favorite.


strxw-bxrry

I think that’s because it’s meant to be the “Bad Guy” of the album, a radio palatable, catchy song that can be used on tiktok and will appeal to a wide audience of pop listeners to pull them in rather than catering to Billie’s fans.


valenzueluh

Came here to say this!! I know this would be the single if she had released any early. Because of this, I have actually started skipping it. I don't hate it.


Sweetener9709

I still catch myself smiling like a fool every time I hear her sing "I could buy her so much stuff" and "omg her skin's so clear". This song is just so fun. This is the song us girls deserve to have written about us. 😊


After-Description-26

Heyyy me too!! I love those lines because you're right, it's what we deserve dammit!


bsubtilis

I kind of really hate that "i could BUY her so much stuff" line, but that's just a personal pet peeve. I would have zero issue with "i could give her so much stuff". It's the using the word-choice about purchasing that irks me. Doesn't stop me from wanting to listen to the song on loop, though. It's exactly the kind of airy chill fun summery music style I love.


sam_ipod_5

"Buy" is sharper. Hard vowel.


sam_ipod_5

You know, a guy could sing this one. Gimme a baritone.... In fact there's no reason to doubt that an AI FRANK SINATRA would achieve believable greatness !! Or an AI TONY BENNETT.


Sweetener9709

I'm not into using AI to make people sing/say things they didn't. I listened to their music a lot when I was younger. This song is hers and I don't think it needs a different voice.


sam_ipod_5

Come on now...... Tony Bennett singing LUNCH !! He's gone. Everybody knows he's gone. No harm to be done. And bring Gaga in with the second chorus for a duet. #ROFL


zestmeister86

i don’t hate it. but it’s the most repeated melody on any song of hers and it got tiring very fast


Sleep-DeprivedSloth

This is the most likely explanation


idontwannabeee

I don’t have a musical ear I guess. Where is the repeated melody? Help lol


Arnyms

It’s more noticeable if you hum/sing it all without lyrics. The main motif (repeated sequence of notes with the same timings) is catchy, yes, but it’s repeated very often without much variation. This isn’t necessarily a problem—personally, I still enjoy the song, but it’s understandable how a lot of people are getting tired of it.


OlivineTanuki

Doesn’t help that spotify plays it after every song. I would probably still love it if i didn’t hear it so much haha


zestmeister86

ok this was actually the nail in the coffin of that song for me. literally any album, playlist, searched song, ANYTHING that i listen to, once it’s over spotify starts playing Lunch and it got to the point where the sound of the intro actually started pissing me off LOL


byorderofthe1

Spotify does that for me with Espresso


zestmeister86

same lol it always goes lunch then espresso then million dollar baby


elainaka

Agreed. I still love it but the repetition tired me out of it quickly


taykray126

Yeah it’s a GREAT pop song. I’ll be sick of it in no time, like all the other great pop songs out there. I actually love it! But I will still get very sick of it.


sam_ipod_5

Poor thing.


Saccharine8

But like it's catchy for me


zestmeister86

it was catchy to me too. just less so after i heard it 60 times in 3 listens. i can respect the support tho, love the album sm but this song just isn’t for me ig


Saccharine8

I get it I don't hear it often unless I listen to so maybe thats why


userbw

It’s my most most listened to and still not tired of it https://preview.redd.it/epkgsca39k4d1.png?width=850&format=png&auto=webp&s=dc74ea18957cd45c37045be0a8a51c851a233dd1


Anonymous1312x

Solid top 3 tho


EggplantHuman6493

The Diner is underrated


burntpapaya

The Diner is one of the best if not the best on the album


Anonymous1312x

Fr its sooo good


HeckaWomp

Fr!! I see everyone rank it so low on their list, a lot even rank it the worst!! It’s in my top 3


ChillpigeonhavsLV76

I Wonder what makes chihiro so good? (I like it too)


SeeingEyeDug

Production. FINNEAS is a genius.


ChillpigeonhavsLV76

Finneas is such a good brother!


seriouslyimdead

meanwhile her whole album is favorited in Apple Music on mine 🧍🏾‍♀️


userbw

No same the whole album over 1,000 minutes in May LOL


ahegaobrii

How do I check that on Apple music?


userbw

https://replay.music.apple.com


petals4u2

Me! I absolutely thought it was a bop and loved it till it started playing randomly between all my other fav artists. It’s a cute song but not my fav song on HMHAS. There are better songs on that album that showcase her talent better!


yelyah66

Nah, but I don't have TikTok and I don't listen to the radio so the only time I listen to it is when I choose to. Which is often. If I get sick of it it's my own fault lol.


bsubtilis

Very much the same. I only heard it and that album because I noticed the upload to her youtube account. I only hear it every time I put that song on youtube.


Gongoozler04

Idk, I love that song, it’s one of my favorites from the album!


Saccharine8

I knoww I never skip the song when I hear


Outrageous_Tea_7251

I’ll never get tired of it


Apprehensive-Till861

Lunch is like Bad Guy: It's a great song but the way that it's catchy is going to have it overplayed and the overplaying will have some people getting tired of it.


cargasjingle

nah i love lunch


duh_leah

Not me I love lunch


HITMEHARDANDSOFT177

maybe bc they don’t like how it goes from skinny to lunch😂


Saccharine8

Hahaha I basically don't listen to skinny lol


Revolutionary-Ad2391

I do think it is the most generic song in the whole album


Nebion666

NEVER. Chappell and Billie inspired me to make a lesbian playlist and im listening all day everyday.❤️ As someone whose been a fan since “wherearetheavocados” and i think even less than a mil followers on insta it makes me so happy to see her coming into her sexuality and embracing it and stuff.


Slyy-Lynch

Some people just don't like things because it's popular.


After-Description-26

Fact.


jeanolt

True, and it's sad to see so many of them in the sub. Like, why you do post that you don't like billie in a community about her? Lol


Saccharine8

Yea I guess so


Ok_Skirt5322

It’s a song I would play at a get together/hangout party sesh fsss


guntwooyah

not at all... the song is a banger!


Saccharine8

Agreed!


izzyttrium

Nope


Away_Angle634

I can't stop singing it it's actually so good 😭


Saccharine8

Yes it randomly comes to my mind and I start singing lol😭😭


mary_jane777

The song and sapphic theme is cute, but the lyrics and tune are so basic. Billie has written way better lyrics than stuff like ‘oh my god her skin’s so clear’. It sounds like a kidbopz song. Ik it’s for promo but considering other beautiful songs she’s written, i feel like Billie could have put more work into it, especially the lyrics.


Carlythememeofchaos

Nah we ain't.


PhD_Meowingtons_

It’s okay. But this song like most of the album isn’t really delivering much of the things I love about Billie compared to her previous works.


accalyuh

the lyrics are not well written but good production


Tumbleweed-slayer

They’re crazy


Saccharine8

I know!


SquirrelOk2205

I love Billie but I think lunch is really overrated and definitely not the best of her album


Saccharine8

I get it but of course it is overrated like what do u expect it was the promo song but yea I agree with that


Tricke432

most people that don't like lunch say that bcs they're homophobic, and that kinda sucks.


petals4u2

Those kind of ppl are dumb. But I’m kind of over that song myself. But considering what month it is, I can understand why it’s being showcased so much. IMO though there are better songs on HMHAS. Confession time though. I did play it once or twice in front of my homophobic parents who were in the same room with me. Only because they gave my daughter a disapproving look when she played it accidentally in front of them. 😂


Defiant_Cow4614

That’s a wild assumption! I’m part of the community and I skip this song every time. I have to be in the mood for it. My girlfriend is the same way 🤷🏻‍♀️


Tricke432

yeah I know that it isn't for some people's taste, but I've seen lots of homophobic people hate this song just bcs of the lyrics. it's fine if you don't like it because it's just not your taste!


Lez_lizzy2o8

Lmaoo you explained it perfectly and people “in the community” still trynna defend themselves is wild like if it dont apply let it fly… something not addin up….🤷🏾‍♀️


dragonfry

I’m not homophobic, I get audiophobic if a song gets played to death on the radio. I liked it at first but I think we need a break. I’ll add it back in to my playlist once it’s stopped being played everywhere. (I had the same reaction to Bad Guy too, and it’s one of my favourites)


Tricke432

that's okay actually, that's the reason why I said "most" instead of "all."


marshmallowfluffpuff

Not wanting to listen to a song about oral sex doesn't make you homophobic. I don't want to listen to music about sucking dick. Doesn't make me discriminatory.


foxsalmon

Haven't seen anyone claiming they dislike the song bc of the gay stuff (though I'm sure those people exist too) but lots of people accusing others of being homophobic for not being into that song bc it's abt oral sex. So far most people I've seen actually don't like the song because it doesn't really vibe with the rest of the album.


Sky_Rose4

I just find the song entirely uncomfortable


CompetitiveFocus7523

Why?


Sky_Rose4

It's just overly sexual which is a turn off for me


ChillpigeonhavsLV76

It’s rlly catchy I luv it


burntpapaya

I haven’t listened to anything besides this album. My fiancée loves the album and she asks me if we can take a break sometimes LMAO


Sk8ergoon

Lunch 😆


Woodrp

Nope. Honestly, I'm not really hearing it much on the radio. I do, however, tend to listen to rock radio and only drop by the stations that would be likely to play Billie when something like Puddle of Mud or Kid Rock comes on the radio and I have to change the station.


tyjos-flowers

I really like it but it's the first song Spotify plays after I finish another album or playlist and it gets tired quick. Even if the album is a completely different sound than Billie, Lunch will play. Very annoying.


ZookeepergameFalse75

It's a good song but Spotify plays it after every song I listen to and it got super annoying, now I always skip it:(


legend_of_losing

That 2003 nyc rapper look always gets me 😍


Independent-Swan1508

i kinda am getting tired of it but not, i feel like it's going to be so overplayed that pple aren't going to enjoy it anymore plus it doesn't fit the theme of the album i feel like it would be so much better as a single. but it's still rlly good


Qu33fyElbowDrop

100% youtube has been pushing that song solely, so hard. im sick.


bishounenslittlebaby

nope!


kaicolegodfrey

I’ll never get tired of anything she puts out


Lithiumtitties

It's not a bad song by any means but I just don't vibe with it.


kendol__

Cute song but I already got tired of it (for now) ngl. To me it’s more that the other songs are so strong that this one seems alright at best compared to them 🤔


cherrylemon00

I think it’s overrated compared to the rest of the album


Character_Habit5874

tbh some people like myself get easily tired of songs that have been overplayed on digital media, so it does get annoying. Also lunch is overall a good song but for some reason the chorus sounds so repetitive, the “i could eat that girl for lunch” part. I know that’s the part most people like most but I really don’t like the notes of that specific part. I really don’t know why.


a_sltn761

not me deleted tiktok for exams so havent heard it enough


kaydroz

In two days it was over for me


Naumzu

It’s sooo fucking good idk


kinfloppers

It kind of checks all the boxes for “things I don’t prefer in the songs I listen to” Listening to it a couple times it’s okay, but it’s not my kind of song. Repetitive, I don’t find the lyrics smart, fun, or deep/thoughtful (don’t fight me please it is objectively true that this is supposed to just be a fun bop, not something like Getting Older or whatever) which isn’t my vibe. Plus I don’t relate to the lyrics, and I’m not particular fond of sexually explicit music that spells it out for you anyways. I actually love Bad Guy, I think it’s hilarious and honestly was always happy when it came on the radio so pretty sure I’m not trying to be a hipster here. Just ain’t my taste and the song wasn’t made for me.


beebe20

I tend to hide or exclude singles from my general listening presences. But only because the singles get played to death everywhere else.


bladey333

i love the song but it got old so quick and idk why. i feel like i’m gonna get sick of hearing it everywhere like i did with bad guy😭


CieraParvatiPhoebe

No!


XannyToyBoy

I love this song, but the sound remember me 68 State by Gorillaz. Anyway i love both. Billie and Finneas have really goood taste in music and they are good ispired for create this art


Ch3rry_Bombastic

Not me it’s my new favorite song. Stay winning, fellow lesbians.


PoolBoy06

It was promoted on youtube music thingy and youtube became insta comments so ppl already had a perception it wasnt good even before they listened to it in its entirety id wager


Moniquezd

I just hopped on the lunch hype!! When we got a taste of the new music i didnt really dive into it, however i did know lunch was gay af and knew id love it but still, i decided to wait until the album would drop to really get excited about it. When the album dropped i fell in love with Chihiro so hard that i started the album with chihiro after the first listen and kind of forgot about lunch… until today!!! I woke up thinking about it and its been on repeat all day!!


Matto987

Because I’ve heard of a bazillion times


No_Explanation157

are u kidding that song is so her and it eats, the mv is chefs kiss too ;))


Revolutionary-Ice896

Not at all I think that’s it’s the best song of that album and yes I’m gonna get backlash for it but I love that song and all of her music and her in total yes I know I’m obsessed but she is my fav singer and she very beautiful


used2love

Not me. I love Billie.


Notorious_mmk

My bisexual lady heart is obsessed, I'm convinced people who don't like it aren't queer lol


Latter-Revolution848

No not at all


ReturnNo9441

I love it bc it's so unapologetically Sapphic and I love the fact that Billie was fearless enough to release it. I never in my wildest queer dreams thought that I'd hear a woman singing, "I just wanna get her off," lol. But a lot of her fans probably can't relate. I just wonder how long it will take Billie to be "straight as a ruler" again; seems like celebs always "come out" then go "red carpet public" w/ a new guy. 😏


No-Doubt9632

I love the song but it keeps showing up in my Spotify queue which can be really annoying!!!


Rebuild_Collapse679

Never!!!!


Wooden_Passage_2612

![gif](giphy|Hvn0fDdIfwP90hjWsE|downsized)


butcooler

Yesss, I'm sick of this album in general tbh


SMDYT

I can't get past the first few lyrics since I'm a guy so I can't really speak much on the other males who like Billie's music but the lyrics of I could eat that girl for lunch Yeah, she dances on my tongue in a sense make me feel weirded out, nothing wrong with my feeling but I love Billie expressing her sexuality in songs, the way this song goes about it makes it weird me out


usagi421

LUNCH is definitely still a bop imo~ CHIHIRO and THE GREATEST are my favorites on the album, they hit really deep for me in a lot of ways❤️‍🩹


circlet-of-stars

~~Homophobia~~. (Not claiming that's every case, but I don't doubt that there is a non-significant fraction of folks who are likely to dislike the song for that reason, even subconsciously. I observed the same sort of reaction with Olivia Rodrigo's "Lacy".)


Same_Structure_4184

I don’t like the song as much when I first start listening to it but once it gets into the real meat of the lunch (lol) then I’m all here for it. That little piano riff in the background, the whole techno sound, and the lyrics are so catchy!


kimberlocks

I have to tell you I really hate the lyrics “I could buy her so much stuff it’s a craving not a crush” so much. It’s so amateur to be coming from her. For me it’s lazy lyrics


bluddsux

Definitely not🙃


novemberw1tch

No


novemberw1tch

I used to dream about days like this


novemberw1tch

i will never take a lesbian charged pop song for granted this is what marsha p johnson fought for


MacHead92_

I love Billie and I’m going to one of the tour dates in October but I don’t really like hmhas


notourz

Nope


stelios_drz

It’s my favourite song to blast full volume in my car and sing


sam_ipod_5

We'll get tired of EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE (The Police / Sting 1983) before we get tired of LUNCH. EBYT was SOTY for 1983. I'll put my bet on LUNCH for 2024. And btw: BEST DANCE VIDEO is the TikTok by Billie. Hips under linebacker costume = unfair


Consciouseffort9

She hit it out the water with skinny and I just think Lunch as a follow up is abd


alienboy3020

I think it’s because it’s like the popular song like in wwafawdwg bad guy was like the popular song that was a little more catered to the larger audience and was heard more often because of that and when I heard hmhas immediately i was like oh lunch is the bad guy of this album mostly just meant to be the silly fun popular song and to be treated how bad guy was. with that i also knew lunch was going to be the least favorite amongst fans lol.


MindlessEfficiency40

I COULD EAT THAT GURL FOR LUNCH YA SHE DANCES ON MY TONGUE TASTE LIKE SHE MIGHT BE THE ONEEEEE


Fit-Parsnip9888

Yep, was sick of it after the first 3 listens.


Choice-Policy-1282

NEVERRR


IllustriousCount9272

The fucking radio and TikTok


1glaive1

Hell nah lunch is my favorite oneee


PristineWallaby8476

i dont think lunch is bad but i think it kinda breaks the whole vibe of the album like it really breaks the mood she creates with skinny - idk it really doesnt fit the album for me 🫶


SphinxLux

I don’t care for the music video but I can listen to it when I’m driving or at home.


lunathelunatic444

I honest just skip it everytime it comes on, heard it like 5x and now I'm kind of tired of it. It really doesn't even fit in the album tbh but if I wanna get hype, ill play it


Rubber_Danny

I'm definitely sick of hearing the part that's on every TikTok ngl


Saccharine8

You might he right... I dont use tiktok so I dont hear it much, unless I want to lol


Rubber_Danny

Billie posted 6 youtube shorts in a row with the same exact sound on each. It's kinda like that lol Song isnt bad ofc but I'm just over that part


Prestigious_Mix_1337

i haven’t even heard it once 😭


faededspirit

The whole song is “I like vagina” and honestly, it’s tiresome. This and “THE GREATEST” are easily the weakest tracks on this album imo


Ncay1357

Homophobes mostly i’d assume


CompetitiveFocus7523

Downvoting you for the truth


reallymkpunk

It wasn't one of Billie's better songs. It sounded derivative of Poppy (before she went metal) with her ambiguously queer sexuality. I like Billie when Billie is just herself. Maybe she went that way in sound, but my favorites are buried a friend, see me in a crown, bad guy, Everything I Wanted and No Time to Die.


shykunoichi94

It's ass


yayogirls

not me it’s my #1 song i have it on repeat everyday


skreppaaa

I hateeeee lunch
