On my first couple of listens to the Rolling Stone stream a few days ago, my initial impression of FWIW was that it had a nice melody and lyrics but wasn't a standout. I also wasn't crazy about the vocal (a bit too close to the "Destiny Rules" granny voice in spots).
Yet as the days went on I couldn't get the song out of my head. Something about this song really sticks with you and it may be one of her best compositions ever. I still have some reservations about her vocal, but overall this is shaping up to be one of my favorite SN songs.
