i was surprised that it had no votes too tbh when i looked back at this last night, but it had only been a single for barely a month when this poll was made -- it's a strong #6 for me after the big top 5

the only one that's an unambiguous reference to a phrase coined by a specific song is "all we do is win," the others are just garden variety phrases that happen to be titles of other songs. unless you think Ne-Yo has created a rich tapestry of quotes from songs by Dr. Dre ("been there, done that"), Lisa Stansfield ("all around the world"), The Spinners ("one of a kind"), The Postal Service ("nothing better") and Brian McKnight ("the only one for me") and isn't just spouting cliches.

well yeah -- i mean clearly those other two are a bit more ambiguous but any r&b singer naming their song "one in a million" is gonna bring ppl directly back to aaliyah & idk "best i ever had" is pretty recent enough that it seems like slightly lazy songwriting idk

j0rdan's gift for hilariously microbanal musing apropos of nothing and no one in particular is honestly one of my fave ilx things - let us all cherish that fleeting shit
