Note: this represents where the article stands relative to the Good Article criteria. Criteria marked are unassessed

Well-written

I think the standard is to write the full name in the Producer(s) field in the infobox even if it's mentioned in the Songwriter(s) field, right? (Dan Nigro instead of Nigro)
- Yes, done
I'm not sure about the "Island Records and Amusement Records released it as the album's third track" part, since it seems like it was solely released. What about "It became available as the album's third track on September 22, 2023, when it was released by Island and Amusement Records"?
- Done
"track, and the lyrics are about" - "track with lyrics about".
- Done
"and for its sexually provocative lyrics; others considered it unremarkable" - "and for its sexually provocative lyrics, while others considered it unremarkable".
- Done
I would add pop to the list in Production and composition after disco. No need to highlight it in a standalone sentence imo.
- Should be done
Ref 10 could be removed after "desire" per WP:REPCITE.
- Ooops, thanks, removed

Verifiable

Earwig's Copyvio is a bit high with 39.8% but it only highlights the long album name and the lyrics mentioned. I would remove some verses while keeping the idea, if that works.
- Should be done. It's down to 35.9% now, there are 13 sources with +10% similarity, mostly because of the album's long title, so that should be it I guess...
Spot-check with numbers as of this revision.
- Ref 9 verifies the description as a disco track and that it is about "being a freak in the club". The quotes in the source start in "freak" instead, and I see this is part of the lyrics so maybe "being a" could be taken off the quote.
  - I was quoting Franzini not the lyric, but removed "being a" now
- Ref 10 says "disco-indebted" so it could be removed after "disco" per WP:EXPLICITGENRE. In the other uses, it verifies the themes and the critic's opinion.
  - Done
- Ref 11 verifies it is disco. Y
- Ref 12 verifies it is neo-disco and that Roan performed it on the Guts World Tour. Y
- Ref 13 verifies it is also dance and that she sang it at the Austin City Limits Music Festival. Y
- I don't think "the funky strut" in ref 14 comply with WP:EXPLICITGENRE. Otherwise, it verifies the author's opinion.
  - I believe funky is usually used to describe funk music, even funky redirects to funk here on Wikipedia
- Unless I am missing something, ref 23 does not mention "After Midnight", but ref 24 does.
  - Yes, I added ref 23 to confirm that it is her "second headlining concert tour", since the Wikipedia article for the tour doesn't mention this, which is strange, so I didn't want it to be WP:OR
- Ref 27 and 28 verify she played it at Lollapalooza and Osheaga, respectively, in 2024. Y
All sources seem reliable but I have my doubts about WP:BUZZFEED or if the author's opinion is relevant.
- Hannah Dobrogosz is a BuzzFeed staff writer not a community contributor, and she has written an article for HuffPost which is reliable on culture matters. I think she seems fine since her opinion is explicitly attributed but let me know what you think

Broad

This article contains the standard for a song article in terms of broadness and focus. Y

Neutral

It does not have bias. Y

Stable

No edit wars and barely any other editors recently. Y

Illustrated

The sample seems to be properly licensed with a non-free use rationale. It is also relevant in this context. Y
