This is being released as a single in Australia January 12. So there is the possibility of some success in the U.S. if it proves to do well in Australia.

Not releasing "Planetary (GO!)" here was a joke. No wonder the era died off.

If "Bulletproof Heart" couldn't be a success, then neither can this song.

There is the possibility of some success in the U.S. if it proves to do well in Australia. While I would absolutely love for that to happen, it's completely unrealistic to hope that a successful run in Australia would renew American interest in the album so long after "Bulletproof Heart" (their best option for a third U.S. single) was tepidly received. If everything was right with the world, yes, both "The Kids From Yesterday" and "Planetary" would've gone on to become smash hit singles.

I'm surprised that they are releasing a fourth single after being mostly unsuccessful with this era besides 'Sing.' I think this is one of the better songs on the album, but probably won't do much of anything at this rate if it is released here.

My favorite of the singles from the era, international or not.
It seemed like they promoted most of the "uplifting" and "fun" songs, but it's the stuff that's closer to this that I enjoyed the most on Danger Days. "S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W" is my favorite from the album, though.

Pretty good song. I can only see it go about Top 30 though.
