I don't like it that much stand alone. But this album is so much more than just stand alone songs. It's a showcase of rock, punk, country, gospel, blues and dance. So in that context I like it.

Really curious for which DJ cooperation this song was written in the first place

Me too.

Fully expecting a remix (and becoming a big hit) in the next month.

Funny song!Very catchy chorus.
Pure Jagger stuff!
Not a masterpiece, but can be easily played after Miss You!
Can make a hit.

I think this track - it is soooo cool. A masterpiece. I like it a lot even as a stand alone song. The drums from Charlie are superb. Could be from the 70ies even. Love it.

Same; loved it from initial listen. Stones strut in verses, cool slinky disco bassline and feel for the chorus. Addictive groove. One of my early favourites, though the album as a whole has many highlights already

It's a bit "busy", not enough space for the instruments like Miss You or ER, actually that's a "problem" with several of the songs, but yeah, very catchy with some great Mick rythm guitar ! Has a bit of "Do You Think I'm Sexy" to it but also some unexpected twists and turns. It's amazing how much better a finished track can be compared to a demo (snipppet admittedly) that was pretty lightweight.

Yeah, like it's Mick, not being able to remember who he'd done that for ;-)

This song is awesome. The guitars, the singing. Love it.

Awesome track, it flows like hell, everything is great on it including Charlie's studio intro at the background "...it goes".

I’ve only heard the radio preview so far. 6 more hours here in the States! This is one of the tracks I’m really excited to dig into. And I hope it’s a hit. Nothing would please me more than the sound of Charlie Watts bouncing off the walls of clubs around the world (even if some people don’t full realize who they’re listening to).

Musically MIU is a bit "We Don't Wanna Go Home" part 2, no ? Better production, better lyrics, better playing !

Well. It is really absurd and weird to put it like that.

It's not out yet here!!! DAMMIT!

This is my favorite song off the entire album. A+ That chorus tickles the pleasure center in my brain. The songwriting is so very good. Imho they outdid themselves on this track. I can just put it on repeat and enjoy it every time.

It's so good.. I never expected to actually hear "Really Wanna Tell the Truth" on an album!!

Single-material tooooo.

Is the backing vocals just Mick himself?

Also think it is a great track and could absolutely work as a single!

Yes, it's this' album Miss You

Sorry but i can't even listen to this track to the end, it's chalk down a blackboard to me.

I do f**kin' love this tune.
It's got that She's The Boss, Sucking In The 70s mood I can't help but shake my ass listening to it.

2nd favourite song of the album (after Get Close)

Charlie leaving us with a funky gift.

Still can't stop singing "really wanna tell the truth" over it

Provides a great contrast to the more classic sounds of the rest of the album.

Silver Medal.

This IS a mess.

It sounds like 3 different songs cut and pasted together.

I disliked this one instantly and intensely.

The worst on the record by a very long way.

I can’t/don’t like it JUST because it’s “different” or a dance track. Or because Mick sings wonderfully well (he does). The actual song/track is horrid.

That's why Charlie said about new songs in 2018: ".... and when they come out they sound like Motown" - [www.NME.com] .

The first one apart from 'Angry' that had me wanting to move on first listen. Great track. This is destined to be a Marmite song, reading the earlier comments

Temon. Bien movido. Pinta para single

+1

and not because I don't dig the Dancing Stones, on the contrary love them from Miss You to Too Much Blood. As someone said a real Mess assembled piece by piece
