“Mind Your Business” is the 6th worst song of 2023 says Variety

Only #6? Should have placed higher.

It truly is one of Britney’s most embarrassing, worst songs ever - sitting in the **** pile with “chillin with you” and “private show” 

[Zach F]

No lie there 

[Witty]

Could easily have taken the 1# spot. It's so bad 

[Dark Willow]

Should be number one.

Will worked hard to make the new atomic bomb, destroying ears (the few listening to this) and dedicated to give Britney more reasons to be considered a joke by the public.

I wouldn’t describe that thing as a song. It needs more to be a bad song.

It's just a fart.

The accuracy:

Listeners were quick to call Will.i.am’s bluff on “Mind Your Business” as a collaboration with Britney Spears that was scooped off the cutting room floor. And wouldn’t you know, it was. The Britney Army has long been skeptical of the Black Eyed Peas frontman, namely for his contributions to the underwhelming “Britney Jean,” and while prior collaborations including “Scream & Shout” and “Big Fat Bass” generally escaped the pitchfork’s pointy end, “Mind Your Business” took the brunt full-on. There’s nothing original happening here, and the canned synthesizers suggest that Will.i.am’s musical sensibilities are stuck in 2009. (Or, 2000 and late, if it were.) Where Spears’ duet with Elton John on “Hold Me Closer” felt tasteful (even if it plays like marketing as music), the release and sound of “Mind Your Business” couldn’t have been more poorly timed. Clearly, with Spears fresh out of a conservatorship, the last thing she needed was to revisit blunders of the past. —Horowitz

There are 5 other songs worse than Manjubi?

[No Seas Cortes]

What did we do to deserve this mess after waiting so long for new music

[Gutterguppy]

Meh, whatevs! It was a throwaway song meant to be campy and fun. Not every single's gonna be a bop.

[Isla]

I wonder what the top 5 was?

I thought it was okay at first, but yeah, it is really a low point in Britney's discography and I don't think I've listened to it properly since it was released. The David Guetta remix was even worse!

[alexdaily]

But people in here were claiming that this song was a bop and someone specifically said and I quote "people will eat it up".

[MikeHunt]

Compared to her classics, yes it’s crap but as a Brit Stan, I’m hungry for any material that comes out. (They just don’t need to be announced as official singles )

Should've just released it on SoundCloud 

[stanLOONA]

Oh, I wish it was #1 

[PlatinumB]

It was a cute bop! I don't care what Variety says!!111 

[Onyxgirl17]

It’s … not good… that’s for sure. 😬

[AII]

I'm absolutely shocked!! How was this not the number one worst song?!!?! Number six seems too high. 

[Az4Angela]

Only 6th worst? We won

Watch it become a 2024 hit because of this article ughhhh

Well the number isn't the ranking it's just for the list. And music is obviously subjective, it's purely based on preference. The explanation, I agree actually, the sound is so very stuck in the past, the lyrics are odd, but for me, there is a charm that just makes it a fun silly campy song. And if you see the other songs, the reasonings are mostly about the idea of the song, or a controversial lyric, and it made me feel like it was such a negative way of thinking. I mean pretty sure some people like those songs. Not everyone can or should like the same things. Some like classic, some like rnb, some like heavy metal, children love cocomelon. And I'd rather stick to finding new music that I might like, instead of making a list of songs to hate for certain reasons. If you don't like, or find a reason to not like what you hear, simply not listen to it and move on.

And tbh, how on earth would they know every single song released by every singer im the world? I guess first, this list means you are at least known and marketted well enough to be even hated. This list honestly seems just like a pick-me type of list to gain support from haters trying so hard to fit in.
