Woot! Didn't expect this at all! Nice change in tempo for Britney. I LOVE this song, but is not single material and radio won't play it :( And you know that for a fact how?

If anyone has the acapella to this, then you know how AMAZING her vocals are without auto-tune. I am so looking forward to this. I love it when Britney takes risks. I don't think Britney cares where this will chart. She wants to release this song that she loves and I really hope the video will do the single justice. PM please!

I love this song - it's one of my T10 Britney songs ever - but I'm surprised too. It's interesting that it's only Max Martin singles this era; the first 3 were, and the one people thought would be 4th - and maybe it'll be the 5th since it's the best song on the album? - is also Max Martin. It is true that Martin's songs are the best.

Hmm, only Belgium and North America have been T10x3. Maybe a change of pace will help?

This is my favorite single from her this era and I will cry if it flops. Ok, metaphorical crying.
I don't get how Britney fell off worldwide. I mean, why does the UK hate her now? I guess she really doesn't do heavy promo though and other countries don't have the same emotional connection to her as the US. We "forgive" the lack of promo because she is basically family.

Really like this! I think it's going to do well. Now I hope she goes for 6(Inside Out than finish with my personal fave Big Fat Bass) :)

OMFG!!! I'm shocked this is actually happening. I loved this song ever since the snippet was released. It was about time they took a big risk and this is the right time to do so as this follows the biggest radio hits Brit has ever had. I'm a bit worried too cause this might be too unexpected for most people but it definitely worths the risk. Hoping for her biggest HAC hit yet and a dramatic video. Something tells me Brit pushed for this song since it's her favorite so hopefully this is a sign of a career more controlled by Brit herself. I'm so excited for this!
This is a perfect era closer but if the 6-single plan is legit then...
05. DDB/UND : a safe up-tempo to make sure the 6th single won't be in trouble 06. IO
Would also love a club-only release for BFB after IO but this might be too much.
Sorry HIR.

Let's keep a positive outlook for this single. I really want Femme Fatale to do very well. Besides, radio is playing Britney this era and she is slaying the charts. :)

I think this is a great single choice. It's the kind of song that non-Britney fans might actually appreciate because it doesn't sound like all of her singles from the past few years.
She can afford to do something different, and I think radio will still play this.

This is exactly what she needs - this song has a crazy hook and it's slightly different from the other singles this era. This will sell the album better than either TTWE or IWG. i REALLY dont think this will sell better than them.

My thoughts:
I was pulling for Inside Out, surprirsed they chose this. I think it's good they finally gave her a mid tempo single, but like I said i thought Inside Out wouldve been better. I see this performing simairly to California King Bed. I think its going to really struggle to sell platnium, and barley squeeze top 20 on chr. This could do well for her on HOTAC, but it ll prbly do next to nothing on RHY, unlike the other singles this era. I do think this will temporarily help her album sales, since its FINALLY showcasing she isnt all uptempos.
Im still pulling for a re release though, because i really was FF to go platnium, and i just dont see it happening without a re release.

Nice arrangement, decent vocals, and below average lyrics, deja vu.

While I think that six singles is too much. A fifth single is very plausible. Last Friday Night and Cheers are proof that you can have a fifth hit single, Lady GaGa will very likely release another single from Born This Way too. Plus, if this pulls a CKB they can always rush release Inside Out.

I was hoping for "Inside Out" but I'd take this over "Big Fat Bass" which was supposedly going to be a single.
All I know is that "Up N' Down" needs to be a single.

5. Big Fat Bass 6. How I Roll Or.. 5. Up N Down 6. He About To Lose Me TFM, DDB and IO are bombs. Well, actually, I think BFB would be too now. Radio seems to be moving on from dance. How about... 5. He About To Lose Me 6. How I Roll Or just even.. 5. How I Roll

Plus, if this pulls a CKB they can always rush release Inside Out. If this flops and they rush out another single, it won't be 'Inside Out'. It would be '(DD)B', guaranteed. They wouldn't try to move past an under-performing mid-tempo with another mid-tempo.

I think if she milks this era for all it's worth, she should release this after Criminal:
5. How I Roll (It's DIFFERENT) 6. Inside Out 7. Big Fat Bass
