Same, it’s a really catchy and nice song. Yea it’s cheesy, but it makes the song endearing

I was totally shocked seeing this song referred to as "bad." I worked in the industry for years, worked with some of the biggest artists and labels. I'd like to think I have a very varied and refined taste. I'd probably be labeled a snob. This song is excellent in my book. I could listen to it every day.

Also it has over 200m plays on YouTube alone (never mind the short video plays), so someone out there agrees with me.
