In the US, the song peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Issues" is certified Platinum or higher in twelve countries including Diamond in France. The song's accompanying music video was directed by Tabitha Denholm. It depicts Michaels hosting a party with a group of friends.[1]
The video premiered on March 7, 2017. "Issues" received a Song of the Year nomination at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards.[2] Michaels promoted the song in a number of appearances, including live performances at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the 2017 Radio Disney Music Awards, Wango Tango, the 2017 Billboard Music Awards, the 2017 iHeartRadio Much Music Video Awards, the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards and The Today Show.
Background and composition
"Issues" was written by Michaels, and Justin Tranter.[3] A few artists, who Stargate and Benny Blanco refused to name, laid claim to the song. However, Michaels refused to give the song away as it felt "too much my story to give to someone else.[4] In 2017, a demo of the song by English singer Charli XCX was leaked and revealed that she had recorded the song before Michaels decided to keep it.[5]
Recording sessions for "Issues" took place at Westlake Recording Studios, Los Angeles, California, and Treehouse X Studio, Suffolk, United Kingdom. It was engineered by Dave Schwerkolt and Chris Sclafani.[3] Mark "Spike" Stent mixed the track at Mixsuite UK with assistance from Michael Freeman and Geoff Swish.[3] Blanco and Stargate, who produced the song, also performed all the instruments and programming.[3] Tom Coyne and Randy Merrill completed the audio mastering at Sterling Sound, New York City.[3]
Musically, "Issues" is a confessional downtempo pop song.[6] In terms of music notation, "Issues" was composed using [[Time signature|Шаблон:Time signature common time]] in the key of [[A flat major|AШаблон:Music major]], with a moderate tempo of 114 beats per minute.[7] The song follows the chord progression of [[D flat major|DШаблон:Music]]-[[E flat major|EШаблон:Music]]-[[A flat major|AШаблон:Music/C]]-DШаблон:Musicsus2 and Michaels' vocal range spans from the low note C4 to the high note of [[E flat (musical note)|EШаблон:Music5]], giving the song one octave and two notes of range.[7] Lyrically, Michaels has described the song as a raw ode to her own anxieties.[6]
Critical reception
The song received generally positive reviews from music critics. A writer for Billboard praised the song, writing, "with blunt, honest lyricism and razor-sharp songwriting, Michaels' decision to choose minimal production proves to be wise, helping to frame her intriguing vocals expertly in order to give fans a delicious first taste of what is yet to come".[8] Writing for Idolator, Mike Wass stated "it can be hard for songwriters to carve out a unique voice when they step out on their own, but it doesn’t look like that will be a problem for Julia".[9]
Music video
The official music video for the song, directed by Tabitha Denholm, was released on March 7, 2017. It features Michaels experiencing the unknown that every relationship goes through.[10] It portrays the singer in a "loving" relationship which "feels like it could fall apart any moment".[11] The male role is played by Alex Koch.[12] The official lyric video for the song was released after the music video on May 17, 2017. It was directed by Pedro Chaves and shot in London, England. The video displays the life of several people and several backgrounds.[13]
