This is two months old, making a review well overdue!! --K. Peake 07:21, 6 May 2022 (UTC)


### Infobox and lead
Pipe Clarence Coffee Jr. to The Monsters & Strangerz under songwriters
Pipe Stephen Kozmeniuk to Koz (musician)
WP:OVERLINK of Koz (musician) under producer(s)
"from her second studio album" → "from her second studio album,"
The production part is not sourced anywhere in the body
Vulture source used in "Music and lyrics"
The release part should be the fourth sentence of the first para instead
""Love Again" is a classically-sounding" → "It is a classic-sounding" per the body sourcing this, not classical the genre
The sample sentence should come directly after the above one
"and personal growth. They see Lipa" → "and personal growth, seeing Lipa"
Remove release year of "My Woman" since that being solely in the body is sufficient
"with its strings, horn and trumpet," → "using it for the melody," to avoid too much lead detail
""Love Again" was sent for → "it was sent for"
Remove "from Future Nostalgia" because you have already said the single is from the album earlier on in this sentence
"on 4 June 2021 globally." → "on 4 June globally." to avoid overusage of the year
"used in its production" → "used in the production"
"Commercially, the song reached" → "Commercially, "Love Again" reached" and the Global chart position should be the last of the three
"where it reached the summit." → "reaching the summit in the last of the territories." and any countries this charted in need to be sourced in the body
"is certified silver in the United Kingdom and platinum in" → "has been certified silver in the United Kingdom by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) and platinum in both" with the wikilink, also mention the other respective organizations
Remove introduction to Lope Serrano, as that being in the body only is fine
Remove overly obvious wikilink on London
I don't think "saddle" is really an appropriate term here
"on multiple occasions including at the" → "on multiple occasions in 2021, including at the" removing the year from any of the occasions listed because all of this sentence is 2021 performances
 Done


### Writing and production
Img looks good!
Pipe Clarence Coffee Jr. to The Monsters & Strangerz
Pipe Stephen Kozmeniuk to Koz (musician)
"who had been dishonest" → "who was dishonest"
"Lipa didn't recognize herself" → "Lipa failed to recognize herself"
"but they hadn't written anything" → "but had not written anything"
"to that studio" → "to the studio"
Second studio album introduction is redundant since that has already been provided in the lead
Wikilink riff
Pipe drum break to Break (music), rather than the overly obvious wikilink on drum
"positive energy into ones life" → "positive energy into one's life"
Remove overly obvious wikilink on guitar per WP:OVERLINK
Wikilink song structure
"and the crediting of the song's writers that includes" → "and credit for its writers, including" on the img text, also pipe sample to Sampling (music)
"build with a lot of drums before and string part" does not read right at all; maybe something like "built up with a lot of a drums, before working on the string part" or whatever this really means better worded
Remove commas around Drew Jurecka
"which she expressed her admiration for how" → "which she admired for how"
Wikilink middle eight per MOS:LINK2SECT
Add the release year of Star Wars in brackets, as it is the same for the movie or film no matter which is referenced
"She described it as a visual line" → "She described the line as a visual one"
Remove overly obvious wikilink on London
"the ad libs last which she was nervous for thinking" → "the ad-libs last, nervously thinking" with the pipe
"with great acoustics where" → "with strong acoustics where" to be less repetitive
Sleep Sound should only be mentioned once in prose
Pipe mixing to Audio mixing (recorded music)
Remove overly obvious wikilink on Los Angeles
Remove wikilink on middle eight since this should have been done earlier on
"but quickly went" → "but quickly went with the"
Remove pipe on mix
 Done


### Music and lyrics
Audio sample looks good!
""Love Again" is a" → "Musically, "Love Again" is a"
Remove wikilink on middle eight
Remove wikilink on chord progression
Remove overly obvious wikilink on violin per WP:OVERLINK
"stirring, and buzzing" → "stirring and buzzing" and the sample sentence should be directly after this one
"make up its chord progression and much of its" → "make up the chord progression and much of the"
"strings, horn, and" → "strings, horn and"
Pipe register to Vocal register
"a new relationship, and explains" → "a new relationship and explains"
"After a falling out with" → "Having fallen out with"
"into their lives when things aren't" → "into their life when things are not" and this should be the last sentence instead
 Done


### Release and promotion
"is apart on" → "is apart of"
Pipe percussion to Percussion instrument
"instrumentals, and strutting beats" → "instrumentals and strutting beats"
I'm not sure if squelchy is an appropriate term here; it is not a reception section, remember
Removed. LOVI33 03:44, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
You should mention that Lipa talks about the making of the song in the episode
"on 4 June 2021." → "on 4 June."
"fifteen months following" → "after 15 months following" per MOS:NUM
No name for the Italy radio service?
There was a consensus on this a little while ago, I can't find it right now but essentially the source for Italy radio dates doesn't have a specific format so "Radio airplay" was deemed a more accurate term. LOVI33 03:44, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
Add the term "stations" after the names of the radio ones in the US
"was officially sent to" → "was officially sent as a single to" to be specific
"and the 15 October 2021-released" → "and the 15 October-released" to avoid overusage of the year
 Done


### Critical reception
Retitle to Reception per the inclusion of best-of lists
This should be ordered by thematic element, i.e. reviews focused on the sample first
"sample, calling them "goosebump-inducing,"[56] while musicOMH's Nick Smith stated they" → "sample as "goosebump-inducing,"[56] while musicOMH's Nick Smith stated it"
"thought the song was reminiscent of" → "found the song to be reminiscent of"
Add a space after "Turn the Beat Around"
Wikilink Spectrum Culture
Article was deleted. LOVI33 15:14, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
"best use of a sample with the "My Woman" sample." → "best use of a sample with "My Woman"."
"also named it" → "also questioned if it is"
"pro-love song to date."" → "pro-love song to date"." per MOS:QUOTE
"25th best song,[62] and writer" → "25th best song and writer", moving this ranking to the end of the section instead
"Writing for Crack Magazine, Michael Cragg" → "For Crack Magazine, Michael Cragg"
Remove wikilink on ballad per MOS:LINKSTYLE
"dancefloor-ready bop."" → "dancefloor-ready bop"."
"add a "jolt of nostalgia,"" → "adds a "jolt of nostalgia","
""out-of-body love experience."" → ""out-of-body love experience"."
"are "non-committal," and the" → "are "non-committal" and the"
"not make it "soar."" → "not make it "soar"."
The Evan Sawdey review should come first, as that is not a negative one
Separate rankings from the reviews by starting a new para for them
"your better wishes."" → "your better wishes"."
 Done


### Commercial performance
"on the chart." → "on the Global 200."
"on the chart dated" → "on the issue dated"
"on chart, and charted for" → "on the UK Singles Chart, lasting for"
The chart positions should be order geographically, so add the rest of the European ones after the UK, then North America followed by Oceania
Any of the countries referenced in the lead must be mentioned, even if you simply say it reached the top 10 in them
"at number 11 in its" → "at number 11 in the"
"In the United States, the song" → "In the US, the song" per MOS:US
Wikilink NZ Hot Singles Chart per MOS:LINK2SECT
Mention where it was certified by the Federazione Industria Musicale Italiana (FIMI) and the date of certification
Mention the date of the Polish certification too
 Done


### Music video
#### Background and release
"Canada attempted to gather" → "Serrano attempted to gather" per the source mentioning that it was him, not the company as a whole
"found new meanings the rodeo elements" → "found new meanings of the rodeo elements"
Wikilink music video on the img text
Remove wikilink on London
"Serrano recalled that she enjoyed" → "Serrano recalled she enjoyed"
Pipe VFX to Visual effects
"as well as adjusting the natural shadow of the horse." → "as well as adjusting its natural shadow." to be less wordy
"It premiered on" → "It premiered via" to be less repetitive
"This version features an opening of" → "This version opens with"
"that is lyrics of" → "which is the lyrics of" but where is it sourced that they are reading a script at the beginning?
Promonews: "In the DC there's the initial dialogue following the lyrics of the song". LOVI33 03:47, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
"more shots of the rodeo clowns," → "more shots of the clowns," to be less repetitive
Pipe final credits to Closing credits
Where is it sourced that a rodeo clown, specifically, rides a horse?
Promonews source again. LOVI33 03:47, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
 Done


#### Analysis and synopsis
Img looks good!
None of the first sentence is sourced; I am aware of MOS:TVPLOT but things like what title cards say still require sourcing
I think it is a appropriate per WP:PLOTCITE. LOVI33 04:05, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
"The visual starts out with a cowboy hat floating" → "Simultaneously, a cowboy hat floats"
"Intercut scenes of her" → "Intercut scenes of Lipa"
Pipe LED to Light-emitting diode
The LEDs and green top are not directly sourced
The Wonderland reference shows a screenshot of the outfit, which I think should be appropriate considering WP:PLOTCITE. The source says miniature light bulbs so I changed it to that. LOVI33 04:05, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
[29][105] should solely be at the end of the sentence
Wikilink slow motion
"and hot pink cowboy boots." → "and pink cowboy boots." because hot is not encyclopaedic
[103][29][105][106] should be put in numerical order
"in another room while rodeo clowns do the same and" → "in the same bowl while rodeo clowns crack them too and" per the source
"while also making omelettes." → "as well as making omelettes."
"camo green cargo pants," → "camouflage green cargo pants,"
[109] is not the correct source for invisible horse appearances
Source: "as cowboys ride invisible animals" but added another source to back up that it is for horses. LOVI33 04:05, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
"an anonymous person, with both of them wearing" → "an anonymous person; they both wear" to avoid overusage of with
"onto her partners jacket." → "onto her partner's jacket."
 Done


#### Reception
"was a metaphor for" → "may be a metaphor for"
"while also comparing it to the video for" → "while also comparing it to the clip for"
Remove wikilink on Madonna
"Devon Ivie it a" → "Devon Ivie labeled the music video a"
"that her "falling in" → "that "has us falling in" per the source
"the video while calling" → "the video, while calling"
"the choreography "TikTok" → "the choreography "a TikTok" with the wikilink
"were more "surreal" while also stating that the clown makeup was" → "are more "surreal", while also stating that the clown makeup is"
"on the mechanical bull." → "on the bull." to be less repetitive, but does this review really praise her performance or merely mention it?
Removed. LOVI33 04:12, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
"and praising its surreality." → "and praising the surreality."
"the video give the song" → "the video gives the song"
"rodeo fantasy" while commending" → "rodeo fantasy", while commending"
 Done


### Live performances
"She performed "Love Again" for" → "Lipa performed "Love Again" for" but the song being performed is not sourced
"On 29 May 2020, she" → "On 29 May, she" but the song is not sourced as being part of the charity concert
Removed both of these. I'm pretty sure there were proper links attached to these sources before but they seem to have been removed and I cannot find a back up. Also, not the most reliable sources. LOVI33 04:17, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
Pipe livestream to Livestreaming
Lipa's special quote is not sourced
She says it in the video attached to the source. LOVI33 04:17, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
"of the song, and the concert" → "of the song and the concert"
Remove overly obvious wikilink on Washington D.C. per WP:OVERLINK
"a guitarist, and a" → "a guitarist and a" and the source does not state the exact number of backup singers is four
Wikilink drum machine
"she performed the track" → "the singer performed a stripped-down acoustic version of the track" with the pipe
Pipe to Time 100 should only be on 2021 Time 100
"41st BRIT Awards as part of her set list of a Future Nostalgia Medley" → "41st Brit Awards as part of her set list of a Future Nostalgia Medley"
"on 17 September 2021." → "on 17 September." to avoid overusage of the year
Unicef → UNICEF with the wikilink
The source does not mention that the song was performed for the above concert
Removed. LOVI33 04:17, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
 Done


### Track listings
Add the appropriate sources for these listings
 Done


### Personnel
Pipe Koz to Koz (musician)
Pipe Clarence Coffee Jr. to The Monsters & the Strangerz

### Charts

### Certifications
Good

The 4 June 2021 release is only sourced for streaming by the ref
Add backup. LOVI33 04:29, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

Yes per above. LOVI33 04:29, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

Copyvio score looks slightly too high at 45.4%; cut down quoting from the Promonews ref to fix this
Pipe Zach Sang Show to Zach Sang on ref 4 and shouldn't that have a url-access parameter because the video is private?

### Final comments and verdict
 On hold until all of the issues are fixed; this is not one of your strongest but congrats on making it so big! --K. Peake 09:11, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for the review Kyle Peake. Apologies for taking so long with the comments, I've been very busy this week. I hope everything looks okay now. LOVI33 18:56, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
LOVI33 Nice response, this came less than a week after the review was completed so I wasn't sweating it! However, when I said the production part is not written out in the body I meant mentioning that Koz was the sole producer, also if the Croatia year-end position is sourced from the PDF then why not cite that instead? --K. Peake 07:27, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
Kyle Peake I have made these changes. LOVI33 17:40, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
 Pass now, good job on fixing the problems! --K. Peake 09:26, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
