I've listed this article for peer review because i'd like to nominate it for the GA status, but i'm not sure if it's well written.

Infobox needs a 'yes' for the border parameter Done
Artwork needs a description in the alt= Done
I'd remove the music video link from the infobox too. No one really does that now, and you've included it in the external links anyway. Done
featured on her debut → for her debut Done
with the help of Reuterskiöld. → You just said he produced so we know he 'helped', as you put have it. Done
after "Love Ballad" and the first release of "Habits (Stay High)". → Why have you written the lead single second? Comment: "Love Ballad" and "Habits" were initially independent singles released by Lo. Later, she signed with Universal Music and released "Out of Mind" and "Habits", the latter under the title of "Habits (Stay High)"
Lead says Minimal pop, Infobox says Pop Done
Musically, "Out of Mind" is a minimal pop song featuring synthesizers, guitars, bass and keys instrumentation and the lyrics speak of the singer's inability to completely forget an ex boyfriend. → Too much going on here. Stalk about the instrumentation/genre and the lyrics as two separate sentences. Done
Because of its lyrical themes, the singer herself and other critics deemed it as the sequel to "Habits (Stay High)". → Its lyrical content was described as a sequel to "Habits (Stay High)" by Lo and music critics alike. Done
was released on the artist's VEVO channel on → We don't need to know this Done
runs from them. → runs away from them. Done
"Out of Mind" is a minimal pop song written by Tove Lo alongside Alx Reuterskiöld and produced by The Struts with the help of Reuterskiöld.[3][4][5] → 3 says Pop, 4 says Alt-pop (I guess he means Alternative pop, whatever that means), and 5 is the album credits. Where did you get minimal from? Comment: I got the "minimal" from the 3, "For the track itself, Tove Lo‘s epic chorus hits perfectly after the subtly minimalist beats and instrumentation of the verses". There are other sources like this and this describing the song as "minimal".
- Is Minmal a genre though? — Calvin999 17:50, 30 October 2015 (UTC) Comment: I thought "minimal pop" was a genre, but after searching the web I found nothing, so I guess the references refer that "Out of Mind" is a pop song with minimal production.[reply]
Link Extended play here again, and put (EP) after it too (same for the lead) Done
On an interview → In an interview (apply elsewhere too) Done
The block quote shouldn't have quotation marks because it is already indented, showing it's a quote Done
that in the song, → We know the lyrics are in the song. Done
Try to avoid the inclusion of one line paragraphs as you do at the end of Reception Done
As before, Music video quote shouldn't have quotation marks Done
Charts table needs to have the Charts column shaded in grey like the Release history table does Done
Reference titles shouldn't have any block capital words Done
31 has a red link? Done

Hope these help. Ping me with any questions. — Calvin999 17:31, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by an IP edit

"It was also her third single overall, after "Love Ballad" and the first release of "Habits (Stay High)"." Did you mean "Habits" was the first single, followed by "Love" then the third "Out"? --124.107.75.38 (talk) 17:38, 30 October 2015 (UTC) Comment: "Habits" was released two times, one indepently and the other one throughout Universal Music, but I've changed the sentence because it was confusing[reply]
"Its lyrics speak of the singer's inability to completely forget an ex boyfriend." "Ex" is rather not encyclopedic; "former" is therefore suggested. Found more in the main prose. --124.107.75.38 (talk) 17:38, 30 October 2015 (UTC) Done[reply]
"Its lyrical content was described as a sequel to "Habits (Stay High)" by Lo and music critics alike." Lo and critics should come right after "described". It reads like "Habits" was a song by Lo and music critics. --124.107.75.38 (talk) 17:38, 30 October 2015 (UTC) Done[reply]
"The song was well received by contemporary critics, who praised its production and considered it one of the best tracks from the extended play."
- The given reviews were of less "mainstream" publications; the summary must be well handled as it might not represent the entire view of the community of critics. --124.107.75.38 (talk) 17:38, 30 October 2015 (UTC) Done I changed "contemporary critics" with "some critics"[reply]
- Further, BBC News isn't a proper source for critical commentaries. --124.107.75.38 (talk) 17:38, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- "Praised" is a POVish term. Kindly use a neutral one. --124.107.75.38 (talk) 17:38, 30 October 2015 (UTC) Done I changed "praised" with "commended"[reply]
"own personal diary" personal and own have the same meaning, I suppose? --124.107.75.38 (talk) 17:38, 30 October 2015 (UTC) Done[reply]
- I mean it refers to her diary, therefore either which should suffice instead of both. --124.107.75.38 (talk) 17:39, 30 October 2015 (UTC) Done[reply]
""other deserted places"" why is this in quotation marks? --124.107.75.38 (talk) 17:38, 30 October 2015 (UTC) Done[reply]
"Coup de Main Magazine" Normally magazines are in italics. Is this how the title written? --124.107.75.38 (talk) 17:38, 30 October 2015 (UTC) Done[reply]
"Lauren Down of The Guardian expressed that "Wrapped up in the aftermath of a relationship, 'Out Of Mind' [...] allows the pain of an ending love affair to breath [...]" This version is suggested to eliminate the period which was put after after the closing mark; rather odd because the quoted material starts with a capital letter. --124.107.75.38 (talk) 17:38, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Idolator in the first section should be linked, and the rest unlinked. See Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Linking#Principles. --124.107.75.38 (talk) 17:38, 30 October 2015 (UTC) Done[reply]
Citation #4 - The Guardian should be The Guardian, which is the proper formatting for newspapers, magazines, etc. See Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Text_formatting#Italic_type. --124.107.75.38 (talk) 17:38, 30 October 2015 (UTC) Done[reply]
