Recommendation

Should you sing it?

Used To Love U rewards a singer who knows the lyric well enough to focus on the lyric’s point of view. Its structure offers some repeated lines to anchor the arrangement, while the words have a dense lyric flow. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
