First time I listened to it, I let it all sink in.
Then I came back an hour later and listened to it again.
My opinion:
This is middle of the road for me. I would say 5 or 6 points. Nothing terrible about it, but it feels lacking at some points - mainly the chorus actually. The rest sounds just fine.
With that said, I´m not disappointed. That is mainly because I had no expectations to begin with. I did not fall for the hype.
Jacques really grew on me last year, but I highly doubt this song can achieve the same effect.

The song is completely anemic as Prime Minister Plenkovic 
The best part is the initial 20 sec, and then FLOP goes to the end of the song.
song is : non-original, boring, dark , generic ...
There is no wow effect in any segment.
my feeling for the song: infinitely indifferent..
to the finals hard, .. only with a very good performance on the stage
Good luck Franka !

I just listened to one of those "Eurovision 2018: My top...", and I have to say, no matter how I feel about this song on its own, other songs are so bad that this shouldn't finish lower than 10th place. 15th worst-case scenario. Most of the songs make me want to say "boring, next!", or "quite irritating, please stop hurting my ears! Next!". Franka's song actually has a pretty enjoyable instrumental, the more I listen to the song, the more I'm convinced that what makes this song seem boring and meh is her interpretation. She needs more power in her vocals.
Dora needs to return!
Franka has better songs...Especially in her teenage years
I accept this entry, but it's going to be in my borderline-like zone
Only great live performance can save this now..but she's no Lindita nor Jacques... (@ 3:01)
The snippet sounded like "sail" by Awolnation..1
what a waste...
7points
We need the luster back if Dora will be back!

My reaction is pretty much the same with the rest. The chorus is the worst part and pisses me off with that cringy "Lo-o-o-ove". In overall outcome, is a weak and bland production who will struggle to qualify. Was expecting something more interesting.

2016 Nina - safe choice
2017 Jacques - risky choice
2018 Franka - safe choice
2019 - risky again?

Sorry Franka, but this song is a big disappointment and an unholy blasphemy of what I expected. 
Even Jacques Houdek and Laura Rizzotto deserve better. Nul points.

THE GOOD:
-It's got pretty good vocals.
-The instrumentals are just dramatic enough to match her vocals.
THE BAD:
-The spoken word part felt added on.
-It doesn't feel all that special.
THE VERDICT:
This song is pretty good. It'll probably qualify for the Final, but after that, I don't see it winning. It's got good vocals and instrumentals, but that's about it. 8 points

It is also middle of the road for me..I like the music, especially at some parts, for example when the pearls are falling in the video, and around it....but I'm not into vocals..and her accent of English, I sometimes doesn't have problem with that, but sometimes I have it... I give 7 in the poll, mainly due to interesting composition..

Am I the only one who actually likes this song I love the way it sounds, very R&B with a jazzy touch, sultry, for some reason reminds me of Lovewave...
Sure, the verses are better than the chorus, but I don't get the negativism, I think this has potential to do great, if the live vocal matches the quality of the one we hear right now. I feel that if the staging is great, more people will enjoy this. TBH this is what ''Funny Girl'' should be but isn't.
My favorite internal selection so far, thank you so much Croatia
10 points in the poll with potential to grow to 12 in the future good luck!

The music video is like a fragrance ad and Franka looks like Lara Croft going on a date....... I love it.
Gave it my 12 already .... It's catchy and they better utilize the melody and sync it with some sick camera cuts...... This could stand out visually and kick some butt.
