So pumped for this song to be heard by everyone! One of my favorite Kelly songs since it leaked over the summer. I can smell another Hot 100 top 10.

I hope it's actually a good video with somewhat of a budget. I feel that other than Behind the Hazel Eyes and maybe Never Again all of Kelly's videos have been low budget. I think it'd be cool if she worked with Floria Sigismondi.

Since I like this it will probably flop. It does seem like a questionable spring release.

If Mr. Know it all peaked at #11 this has a chance of going top 10 at least, especially coming after Stronger.

I'm a bit conflicted. I don't think it screams 'hit' right away; but, it's the only non-single I even remember from the album. So, at least it's memorable and has a good hook.

Which sad songs have done well during the Summer? Dark Side would be considered a sad song.

Great song. Even though she has a handful of much better album tracks, this is probably my favourite single of hers. Sonically it's not exactly a departure from her typical sound, and the lyrics are still firmly in fat-girl-Facebook-statusing-through-the-tears-and-doughnuts zone, but it all feels so much more natural than "What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)", and I actually think it's a lot catchier than that song too.
Thinking about single potential does get me wondering if I'm listening to the right song though. It doesn't sound a thing like "Someone Like You", "Take A Bow" and "We Belong Together. Is it even sad? I'd hesitate to call it happy, but from what I can tell it's about a woman questioning if she should take a relationship to the next level. I wouldn't call that sad. It's very relatable.
An easy top five.

This is one of Kelly's best songs ever, I'm so happy they decided to release it. I don't know if I see it hitting #1 and doing as well as WDKY, but I think it has everything it takes to be another hit for her. I definitely see it performing much better than MKIA, MKIA wishes it was as good as this.

So excited for this--it's actually my favorite single from her. I'm not predicting for it to smash on the same level as "Stronger," but as soon as I heard the demo I just knew it had to be a single. I think it will do quite well for her, maintain her momentum, and--most importantly, at this point--boost album sales. I'd love to see her do some promo for this song ("Stronger" didn't really need much in the way of live performances to do well), and it'd be nice to have a cool video. Great song. Even though she has a handful of much better album tracks, this is probably my favourite single of hers.

While we do have confirmation that this is the next single, I'm locking this until a) Stronger has peaked or b) we get an adds date. Once one of these have occurred, do not start a new topic, rather let me know and I'll unlock this one so Franklin can have his special snowflake moment. Thanks!
