Infobox and lead

• Pipe Warner Bros to Warner Records in the infobox
• "for the 2019 film" → "for the soundtrack of 2019 film"
• "wrote the song with" → "co-wrote the song with"
• "also composed the films soundtrack" → "also composed the soundtrack"
• "the lead single from the film's soundtrack." → "the soundtrack's lead single."
• Shouldn't you write electropop track in the lead for consistency?
  • I don't think it's placement in the lead really matters. I put it there just so the paragraphs don't look too overflowed. LOVI33 04:30, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

• I was referring to the term "song" being used instead of "track", but they are interchangeable so this doesn't really matter. --K. Peake 07:13, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

• "praised "Swan Song" for" → "praised the song for"
• Mention the award after the above statement instead
• "and reached the top 100 of" → "and also reached the top 50 of" cutting down the countries listed to these ones since top 100 is too many
• "specifically with its" → "specifically with the"
• "and eventually Alita. Lipa transforms into Alita" → "and eventually Alita, before Lipa transforms into her"
• "complimented its sci-fi" → "complimented the video's sci-fi"

 Done

Music and lyrics

• "ACT UP and" → "ACT UP, and" on the audio sample text
• ""Swan Song" is" → "Musically, "Swan Song" is"
• Shouldn't you write that it is composed in the time signature of ⁴
  ₄ time?
• Pipe synths to Synthesizer
• Pipe strings to String instrument
• "as well as a mechanized," → "and a mechanized,"
• "while the song builds up to the" → "while the sections progress to the" to be less repetitive

• Pipe ranging to Vocal range
• "as well as how society always needs use their voices;" → "as well as how their voices always need to be used;"
• "the groups motto" → "the group's motto" plus merge this with the following sentence since they are too short to be separate
• "contradicts it's meaning." → "contradicts its meaning."

 Done

Release and promotion

• "would perform "Swan Song" for" → "would record "Swan Song" for" or something similar because otherwise it sounds like she performs it during the film

 Done

Critical reception

• Retitle to Reception since you can merge with the one para commercial section below
• "For The New York Times, Jon Pareles compared" → "Writing for The New York Times, Jon Pareles compared"
• "as a "proper solo singles" instead" → "as a "proper" solo single instead"
• "he said it" → "he said the song"

 Done

Commercial performance

• Make this the third para of the above section
• "a peak of 24." → "a peak of number 24."
• The charts after this are not in any numerical or geographical order; I would suggest doing the latter with European countries first, then American, then Oceanic
