Talk:BMF (song)

Wording

This wording is not optimal for this article, given its intense awkwardness: "Cheerful and whimsical, the lyrics are about SZA's attraction to a handsome and dark-skinned man, whose beauty makes her want to remove her underwear." I would instead look further into the lyrics, this seems like it was written by an AI. Maybe look into articles critics have written delving into lyrics? Even for a summary, this is somewhat dissapointing. 50.47.202.20 (talk) 22:41, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You are free to copyedit the artile to improve the wording given WP:BOLD. Currently, all of the sources in the article are the only reliable ones that discuss the lyrics in depth. Elias 🦗🐜 [Chat, they chattin', they chat] 02:45, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Prose and MoS

  • Just an inquiry: The album was released on that date but BMF's release as a single was the following month?
    • Yes

Lead and infobox

  • "Elsewhere, "BMF" was a top-10 song in Southeast Asia, peaking at number 4 in the Philippines," considering the rest of the body only mentions Malaysia and Singapore, could it be worded as "in parts of Southeast Asia" or something similar?
    • Done

Background

  • Would there be a source describing when they decided on the name "BMF"?
    • No (though if you want a partial answer, the earliest published snippet of the song back when fans still called it BFSD was posted in 2021 on IG Stories with the caption "watches BMF once")

Music and lyrics

  • Statement and source describing the length of the song as I see it stated in the infobox?
    • Not a requirement in the prose (plus it's one of those self-cite situations anyway..)

Release

  • No issues.

Commercial performance and the rest...

  • ""BMF" also reached the top 10 in other Southeast Asian countries—Malaysia (8)[26] and Singapore (9)[27]—as well as New Zealand (10).", still quite confused by the wording on this statement.
    • Simplified
  • "which she headlined by rapper Kendrick Lamar. ", "which she headlined with rapper Kendrick Lamar. "
    • Typo corrected

Refs

  • Earwig's alright.
  • Ref check: 1, 8, 9, 12, 24, 29, 55. All good.

Misc

  • No ongoing edit war, broad enough information, neutral.
