Netizens didn’t hold back on their criticism, calling the song “awful” and “dull”. One even said they “couldn’t get past half of the song before turning it off”.
Perhaps the most ruthless comment was the one that said “Jay has used up all his talent”.
It didn’t take long for Jay fans to jump in to defend their idol.
“This is ‘using up all his talent’? Why don’t you write a song yourself then,” retorted a fan.
“You lot are so irritating, he’s been massively successful for such a long time,” wrote another.
Others took a more civilised approach, saying those who didn’t like the song could’ve simply said “it was average” instead of labelling it as “awful”.
“It gets catchy once you listen to it a couple more times,” offered one suggestion.
While the keyboard war between Jay’s fans and haters is still ongoing on Weibo, the majority of comments on the song’s music video on YouTube are complimentary, with many just happy to be basking in the holiday feels.
