i agree with Bianca. "You’ve been scared to say" makes more sense then “that ur afraid to say"

@CrombieCron 2 years ago

The original lyrics are better because it’s “you’ve been scared to say” and they’re now voicing it. The new lyrics are contradictory because it’s “that you’re afraid to say” and then they say it.

@tobybartling 2 years ago

the original lyrics are gramatically correct therefore the better option, “something up til now that you’ve been scared to say” meaning you were afraid to say until this moment rather than “something up til now that you’re afraid to say” meaning that you are in the moment still afraid to say said thing

thank you Bianca for bringing this to attention, every time I sing the old one automatically and get annoyed that it's been changed 😂 (also to the other commentors pointing out how gramatically the new one doesn't make sense, didn't even think about that)

'You've been scared to say' has a nice, alliterative smoothness to it, 👍in addition to the tense issue someone else mentioned above.

“It sounded like a Reading situation to me” he’s so funny honestly, I’d love to see him in more comedies 😭😂

6:09 Yes Bianca! 💯 agree! Never sounded right after the change!

@danielacalloni3423 2 years ago

I vote to go back to "scared to say." I agree that the change is a bit off-putting when you're so used to the original lyrics. It made my brain pause with confusion lol 😂😅

I like "scared to say" better, but I completely understand just doing whatever Dua Lipa wants.

@TechNextLetsGo 2 years ago

The old makes more sense that you always wanted to say it but didn't until now. The new one means you don't want to say it now but you will anyway; but they do want to say it because thats why they called in.

@linam764 2 years ago

I agree with Bianca about the lyrics, but it's not really about "afraid" vs "scared" for me, but rather about the grammatical switch from "you've been" to "you're", which doesn't make sense with "up till now". This English teacher votes to switch back!

Everyone say thank you Bianca for taking one for the team! Completely agree with her, the old tune is better

@amandakay6330 2 years ago

💯 agree on the lyric change. "Scared to say" is way better.

“Chris you psycho.” 😂 Same Finn.

@alistaircassidy 2 years ago

The old jingle is the better one. It is not just a switch from 'scared' to 'afraid' but there is a tense change too that doesn't make sense:

"Something up to now that you've been scared to say"
"Something up to now that you're afraid to say"

In the new version it starts in past tense and then switches to present tense and that makes no sense at all.
