Brad Shoup: Oh, you do? That’s neat. You should write a song about it!

Patrick St. Michel: Songs about butts are often one note, but at least John Hart had really smooth sounding music to back up (HA) his words. This sounds boring, which makes the ass-centric lyrics all the more grating.

Cédric Le Merrer: Listening to this after reading a thousand thinkpieces and listicles on Miley’s VMA twerking, I just wish we’d pick this as the definitive 2013 statement on butt politics instead. Finally, a butt anthem as butt positive as “Bubble Butt” that’s also butt empowering. The “If you’ve got no butt” call at the end is also more butt inclusive than anything in Mackiemore’s “Same Love” (a song strangely silent on the subject of butts).

Edward Okulicz: Parts of this skirt close enough to Missy’s “Work It” in terms of flow that Lady Lykez doesn’t even need to try. But the wobbling noise is a beautiful, beautiful addition.

Alfred Soto: Indebted to Missy Elliott as much as LL Cool J’s forgotten “Big Ole Butt,” this grime-y bumper passes on good intentions: we can never have too many songs about mirror moves.

Jonathan Bogart: It takes a strong beat and a stronger personality to get me over a flute-sample hook. It helps that there are at least a half-dozen more hooks to choose from. If this is one of the important directions grime is going in ten years later, more power to all butts everywhere.

Anthony Easton: I love the opening creaking door sound; the percussive shotgunning; the gliding production over the rough bumps, her voice — almost ragged; the beat, which has memories of bounce; and all of this in a delightfully self-aware, hyper-English package. This might be genius.
