{{GATable/item|1a|y| I've boldly made some minor CE changes for clarity. Only remaining issue to improve is the sentence "Produced by Take a Daytrip, it was released by the label Atlantic Records for the film Sonic the Hedgehog and as part of its soundtrack on January 24, 2020." It's not clear if this means there was a single release and a soundtrack album release on the same day, 24th Jan, or whether the song was released on 24th Jan and included on a seperate soundtrack release.

Have made some additional copy edits along the way. Think we're good on this criterion now. Jonathan Deamer (talk) 21:18, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

• Words to watch: Fine, made a quick fix per MOS:EUPHEMISM.
• Layout: Per MOS:OVERSECTION, the "live performances" heading may be excessive for a single sentence. I'd suggest including the two final sentences from the "music video" section (which are actually about the lyrics, not the video) here and changing the section name to "lyrics". {{done}}
• Fiction: The music video synopsis is essentially a plot summary; MOS:FICTIONPLOT is adhered to (treating the video as a primary source without need for inline citations). Appropriate use of narrative present.
• List incorporation: n/a.
  

On hold for layout fix. Jonathan Deamer (talk) 18:24, 17 January 2025 (UTC){{done}}

• Lead: MOS:FIRST, MOS:LEADCITE, MOS:INTRO fine. Jonathan Deamer (talk) 21:18, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

• WP:ALLMUSIC: "Editors also advise against using AllMusic's genre classifications from the website's sidebar." This source isn't used for anything else, so should be removed. {{done}}
• The Next Web: no consensus per WP:RSP, but only used for direct quotes of source itself, so OK. Similar for Game Rant source.
• As mentioned above, music video synopsis is a plot summary and so does not need inline citations.
• "Wiz Khalifa singles chronology" in infobox is not sourced and there are not articles for these releases (ie. it's not a navigational aid). Should be removed.{{done}}
• Recording date in infobox was unsourced. I have removed this.
• I struggled to verify the songwriters info with the Apple Music source, but confirmed it is indeed there :)

Some of the discussion below has addressed additional points, so marking this as OK. Jonathan Deamer (talk) 21:20, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

• It looks like the sentence "The music video for the song was released on January 23, 2020, with the song being released a day later by Atlantic Records." fails verification. Apple Music gives the song's release date as Jan 24. YouTube shows me the date the video was uploaded to be Jan 24 (maybe it adjusts to local timezone?), but either way YouTube is not a reliable source so should not be used like this. The Rolling Stone source (at least the [https://web.archive.org/web/20200212171758/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/wiz-khalifa-ty-dolla-sign-speed-me-up-kimmel-950705/ archived version] I can access) doesn't give a date. I'd suggest just saying "The song was released on Jan 24 by Atlantic Records" unless you can find a better source. {{done}}
• The point about YouTube views, in the body and lead, is only supported by YouTube itself. YouTube isn't a reliable source, and I don't think there's consensus on an exception for view counts. Could you please find a better source or remove this? {{done}}
• In the lead "for the film Sonic the Hedgehog and as part of its soundtrack" is still unclear to me. Is it actually in the film? At least [https://www.avclub.com/sonic-gets-far-better-music-video-movie-tie-in-than-he-1841202052 one source] refers to it as a promotional track. The article for the score album you link to doesn't list the track as included. Can I suggest you include a cited sentence in the "background" section that addresses this? It can then be easily summarised in the lead. {{done}}
• Why is Wiz a "rapper" in the lead while his collaborators are "singers"? Again, maybe more in the "background" section with a cite could address this. "Sees each collaborator taking on their own verse" [https://uproxx.com/music/wiz-khalifa-lil-yachty-ty-dolla-sign-speed-me-up-kimmel/ from Uproxx] is the most detail I've been able to find on each collaborator's role. This is possibly personal preference, but an explicit cite of the track's lineup in this section might also be good.

On hold for these points to be addressed. Jonathan Deamer (talk) 17:31, 19 January 2025 (UTC){{done}}

{{GATable/item|3a|y|Having read Wikipedia:WikiProject Songs, this article's sources, and searched for additional sources, I'm assured that the main aspects that can be reliably sourced are covered here. (In particular, there doesn't seem to be any RS coverage of chart performance, which I would otherwise expect in a song article.) Jonathan Deamer (talk) 17:23, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

{{GATable/item|7|y|An appropriately short article that addresses the main aspects of the topic. A handful of important improvements to sourcing were made as part of the review. I enjoyed the nostalgia of digging into this topic, and listening to a fun new-to-me song in the process. Thanks to @Tails Wx for the collaboration, and congrats on a Good Article!
