While the collaboration initially sparked curiosity and unexpected backlash due to the unexpected pairing, the final result has left many listeners unimpressed.
BLACKPINK’s Jennie Target Of Criticism For Recent Announcement
In the remix, Jennie contributes newly added vocals, altered production elements, and a short rap verse. She is even credited as not only a feature, but also a composer and lyricist.

Rather than elevating the track for some fans, these additions have become the main point of criticism. Many listeners feel her voice clashes with the original sound, arguing that it does not blend naturally with Tame Impala’s psychedelic style. Others have pointed to pitch and key issues, claiming the vocals sound unpolished and rushed.
Tame Impala, you made the biggest mistake of your life. The song is awful. https://t.co/NLZxwRwgS7

She sounds so out of place and off key the producer didn’t even touch that sound design to merge her voice within the track and fix the keys, that’s a rushed up mess https://t.co/hb7a8Q5G9H

Another recurring reaction is the belief that the remix was unnecessary to begin with. Some fans of the original song feel it stood well on its own and did not benefit from a feature.
The way Jennie added nothing to the song. He should’ve asked Dua to feature

Jennie’s singing, in particular, has drawn sharp scrutiny. While the idol has long been praised for her stage presence and performance skills, this release has reopened discussions about her vocals.
