Overall the article is in good shape. Will start the review shortly. HĐ (talk) 07:14, 18 August 2020 (UTC)


### Lead
It was certified tuplet platinum in Australia → "5× Platinum" is better; and why is Australia singled out here, given that the song was certified multi-platinum in several countries?
"The video depicts Eilish and Khalid walking around a glass case, interacting with each other" → anything more specific?


### Background
"of her debut EP" → whose EP?
"production was solely handled by the latter" → "latter" is usually used for two subjects, not three or more


### Composition
"Eilish also explained about working" → why is there the word "also"?
I'm not sure if "crooning miserably" is encyclopedic; try somethine else like "singing in a melancholic tone"
Ditto for "inextricably trapped"
"gets even worse" → ditto; can be reworded to something like "gets more dramatic"


### Critical reception
"received critical acclaim from music critics" → "critical acclaim" already implie "music critics"
Too many quotes (WP:QUOTEFARM). Try paraphrase the bulk of the section


### Commercial performance
"first debuted" → "debuted" already implies "first"
"It was the most successful in Australia" → Is it the most successful single in Australia?
"It has also received the highest certification in Australia" → the highest certification in Australia is not 5× Platinum


### Music video
"The visual begins Eilish being trapped inside a crystalline box" → grammar


### Overall
Tables and references are properly formatted.
Should my concerns be addressed, I will pass the GAN. Good job overall, HĐ (talk) 07:29, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
HĐ, Thanks for the review. I have addressed all of your concerns. Lmk if anything else needs to be fixed. The Ultimate Boss (talk) 18:07, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Why Australia is singled out in the lede has not been addressed. Furthermore, phrases like "acclaim" / "positive reviews" are a case of WP:SYNTH and given undue weight. Please consider removing such phrases, HĐ (talk) 01:41, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
HĐ, Sorry, I forgot to look at the lead... All of the issues should be fixed. The Ultimate Boss (talk) 02:30, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for addressing my concerns. This article looks good to be GA now. Well done, HĐ (talk) 03:15, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Thought I found a way.        Thought I found a way                    To love you but I can't  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.114.242.80 (talk) 15:19, 15 December 2022 (UTC) 

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Lovely (Billie Eilish and Khalid song)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT⚡ 11:36, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
