That kind of music is really grating onmy ears. I got through 2:30, and that was the slowest 2m30 of my life. I found the song a bit whiny, but I usually don't address a woman as "honey" or "sweetie".
However, some able-bodied people (primarily women), will address me as such. Not in a sexually endearing way, but as though I were a child. I ambulate with crutches, and my speech is a tiny bit off, so its easy to assume intellectual disability with me. So, I get the pet names, and am usually quite annoyed by them. So, I don't use them, unless I need to put somebody who happens top be female in her place. Take her down a notch. Use pet names on me and I might do the same to you, if I feel like it might be effective.
I'll need to finish the song off tomorrow.
