It is single-handedly the most overhyped and demanded song in Bonnie's entire discography and rightfully so as it's her magnum opus and a pop masterpiece. The gheyz would sell both of their kidneys for it. She's consistently using it to emotionally blackmail her fans into caring about her career.

Guys, it’s hard to tell because Bonnie mumbles, but she’s saying “I wanna call you” in that video, as in I Wanna Fucking Call You. I don’t think Bonnie wanted to swear during that interview, either that or she wasn’t allowed to. But if you check out that LQ still it even has “Wanna fucking call you” written down.
