"[8][7]", refs need to be in numerical order
Target chorus to Refrain
"Eilish croons that her former lover has changed" → "Eilish croons about her former lover changing", also, this doesn't seem to backed up by a ref, am I missing something?
LOVI33, it's supported by two reliable sources: "Vice" and "Atwood Magazine".

### References
Copyvio score needs work at 66.2%, check your wording of ref 8. It seems as though the lyrical analysis is interfering with lyric website Genius, maybe remove some of it.
It is now around 39%, which is good! The Ultimate Boss (talk) 01:49, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Make sure all these are archived
Archive date is after accessdate on ref 3 and 6, just put today's date for accessdate
Ref 9: remove Pitchfork from title, cite Pitchfork as work or website, cite YouTube as via with target, cite Apr 22, 2020 as date.
Target NME to itself on ref 13
Ref 15: cite YouTube as via, plus add the date it was published
 Not done for citing Youtube again because it already is for ref 9.
 Done


### Final comments and verdict
Sorry the review took so long.  On hold until issues are fixed. Excited to see your comments on "IDGAF"! LOVI33 22:04, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
LOVI33, no worries! Lmk if anything else needs to be fixed. The Ultimate Boss (talk) 01:50, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Hey The Ultimate Boss, I think you were kind of confused with some of the ref improvements I was suggesting so I have gone ahead a fixed them for you here. Unfortunately, I can't pass this yet. For one, You need a source that calls "Watch" a sentimental ballad, you cannot just assume. The source you have given just simply calls it a ballad. Also, I reviewed every source you gave for Eilish singing about her lover changing in the chorus and maybe I'm missing something, but I have reviewed every source (Atwood, Insider, and Vice) you gave, and all just talk about it's lyrics. If I'm missing something could you quote it? LOVI33 13:19, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
LOVI33, Okay, I have changed it to what you have requested. The Ultimate Boss (talk) 02:34, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Great! I'm ready to  Pass this. LOVI33 14:43, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
