^ That's a cover of "Let Me Love You", not his new single.
"What About Love" is available for pre-order on iTunes for $0.69.

Coming from a Mahomie, I can't wait for this. Hope it's good, like his previous 2 singles on CHR!

This premiered on Z100 today. Republic struck a Clear Channel deal, which you can read about here. The single is also available for pre order on Itunes for 69 cents. Here's a radio rip: I like this more than the other singles he's released, but it's REALLY dated. It sounds like Max Martin circa 1999/2000. |

Sounds amazing. So happy that they got him a clear channel deal! I'm hoping this helps him break through! :)

I really like this! It sounds fresh, and while I like his previous 2 singles better, this sounds more like a hit.

I like this too . I agree with the poster that this sounds boy bandish but its not a bad thing. Hopefully this breaks him through , he was at Busch gardens the other week when I was there and I saw him with his friends he seemed like a nice kid (and he's my age)

Yeah, I thought it was OK on first listen, but I'm starting to like it better now. It's like a mix of Britney Spears's "Stronger" and "The Call" by the Backstreet Boys, which were both Max Martin and Rami Yacoub. The drop towards the end also slightly reminds me of "Can I Get Your Number?" by No Authority.

I heard this on the radio earlier today and it sounds great on radio. I wonder if this could be the breakthrough hit he needs.

Hmm, this is okay. Sounds like a summer hit, but I prefer "Say You're Just A Friend" (which I'm familiar with thanks to the video plays on Juicebox TV early weekend mornings before I go to bed). I'm glad he's getting cuter.

While his other singles are catchier to me, this sounds more like a hit on the radio. It'll probably grow on me.
And yes I agree with the boy-band feel. I can't tell if that's a good thing or not haha.

Wow this BSB song lol. I could even name which BSB album this would be on. It is catchy, but I am surprised they didn't try to update the sound at all.

I'm sorry but for this to shoot up to #6 that quickly is impossible. So I thought I'd be a gentleman and inform you all how this happened. The song was put up for preorders WEEKS ago so its current position isn't surprising but I can't help but to wonder how badly it would fall next week.
(I don't mean to give any hate, I do like the song!)

His label is going all out to ensure this is a hit for him. Video this week, TV performances, Clear Channel deal?, $0.69 on iTunes, etc.
This song definitely reminds me of teen pop at the turn of the century.

It seems as though this is a last ditch effort to launch him. "Say Somethin'" was a minor hit at best and "Say You're Just A Friend" went nowhere. It does look like the label is standing by him and is going all out on this single.

RedOne is majorly behind this song.....producing and promoting. It's like Cheiron sound but totally 2013 production......and it's smashing!!!

I like this, but I think it's easily the worst of his singles thus far ('Say Somethin'' being the best, by far; that song was my jam last summer). I agree with those of you who said it sounds exactly like something *NSYNC or BSB would have released in 2000.
