The first song off the album that got me interested in Taylor. Let's do this. – zmbro (talk) (cont) 15:25, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- For me, this was the first song that made me think Swift was more capable than just writing earworms, and it was way before I became a mega Swiftie. Anyway, I'll possibly get this review done within this day. Gained (talk) 16:14, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Comments
[edit]- Is the "written" parameter necessary/useful in the infobox? If it was written, recorded, and released the same year I personally don't see the significance.
- "Republic Records released the song for download on October 9, 2020, in Germany" → "Republic Records released the song for download in Germany on October 9, 2020."
- "discussed the song in regard to it as the album's opening track" → "discussed the song's significance as the album's opening track"?
- ""The 1" was one of the tracks written by both Swift and Dessner, who produced all of them" all of what? Last time I check both Joe Alwyn and Jack Antonoff as credited as producers on Folklore
- So this song was recorded only days before the album's release? Wouldn't that mean we could specify a recording date/month in the infobox?
- Fair use rationale for song sample looks good.
- This is a small nitpick but all three paragraphs in "music and lyrics" begin with the song title. Not a huge deal but noticeable.
- I was also kinda bothered by it but eventually thought it was not detrimental to the article in any form. Anyways, I'm gonna change it. Gained (talk) 16:25, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- Ah. That's ok. Like I said it's not a big deal for GAN. For FAC, however... – zmbro (talk) (cont) 16:45, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- "Critics' praise for "The 1" were on its production and songwriting." → "Critics primarily praised "The 1"'s production and songwriting." or something like that.
- A lot of the second and third paragraphs in reception follow a "this person said this" "that person said that" format. Not that big of a concern for GA, but it's still noticeable.
- I tried to remedy this during the article's development but I couldn't find any ideas on how to change the pattern even to this day. Gained (talk) 16:36, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- "the track had a "suspicious whiff" from" like reminiscent of?
- General question: was this the first song Swift used profanity in? I remember the first time hearing "I'm doing good I'm on some new shit" was like a big wow comment because I had never heard Swift curse in a song before. I could be misremembering but I did listen to 1989, Reputation, and Lover before Folklore and becoming more of a fan.
- I believe the first time Swift explicitly used profanity was on Reputation's I Did Something Bad: "If a man talks shit, then I owe him nothing". Gained (talk) 16:36, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- Ah ok. Nevermind then. – zmbro (talk) (cont) 16:42, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- Sources look solid, although ref 53 is missing an archive.
- Copyvio detector is fantastic at only 13.0%.
That's all I got. Good job! – zmbro (talk) (cont) 15:48, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
