I sent a link to the video to a friend who replied back "It's like a poor man's version of Pocket Full of Sunshine"

I obviously didn't/don't expect this to be a big hit, but I'm surprised it's selling so slowly on iTunes. Figure it would have at least cracked top 10 just due to fanbase buys. The freaking Gaslight Anthem had a top ten yesterday.

Love the song and the video was pretty cute. It's been stuck in my head all day.
Hopefully the Dave Audé remix doesn't disappoint.

Adorable! It gave me Merril Bainbridge vibes at the beginning. She looks great! *Runs to iTunes*

She looks really good.
Song is pretty much the definition of a non-event though, and the video overall looks like a weird cross between Stars Are Blind and Ours.

This is better off as a buzz single. It's not bad, it's just not 1st single worthy.

I pre-ordered this song as soon as it became available on iTunes. I've been obsessed w/ this girl when I was growing up.
Some things will NEVER change. ♥

It seems she will go way higher, as she's most trending on Yahoo!, and from what I've read, they say positive things about her and the way she rocks the video.
I have seen the video a few times now... the conference room part is hilarious.

I love the song what it is - a chilly laidback song by the beach. People care too much about 1st singles. I'm glad that she's back and I'm sure the new album will have more mature songs.

I hold Hilary to a different standard than I do the other divas. No this isn't a monster, in-your-face smash à la "Stronger" or "Problem," but that was never Hilary's style. She's always been on the lighter side of pop with occasional rock and electronic elements. The song is fun and breezy and the video is entertaining. Seeing little Lizzie McGuire all grown up (and looking GORGEOUS I might add) makes me feel all sorts of nostalgic. I'll definitely check the album out when it drops.

She was never a good singer and her output has never really warranted any praise, but this is just...so uneventful.
It sounds like what "Stars Are Blind" would've sounded like if Lizzie McGuire sang it and you took away all the elements that made it catchy.

I'm playing this loads today and I smile while listening to it. It gives me Hoku "Another Dumb Blonde" vibes.

Just watched the "So Yesterday" video, which was an ultra guilty pleasure for me when it came out.
It still rocks. "Chasing the Sun" still doesn't.

I like the song for what it is. Is a fun grower than can connect widely with people.
As a comeback strategy, launching a moderate, warm up song as the first single seems perfect for me considering this is her first output in 7 years. That said, this will only do if the second single is a SMASH.

Just saw the video, and I absolutely loved it. I laughed so hard as she was daydreaming while pouring the sugar into her tea, which was conveniently in a margarita glass. The video is insanely better than the actual song, but it also made me like the song more, so it works.
Also, I definitely see the "Ours" comparisons in the video. However, it strikes me in the same way the "Call Me Maybe"'s video did: cute, adorable, relatable, funny. It's definitely got the right stuff to go viral. (Now, obviously, not to the same extent as "Maybe," but enough to keep the song afloat for a while.)
OMG @ that obvious Eos product placement, though.

Yeah, when I realized she was drinking tea (or coffee) in that margarita/martini glass, I was like, "Gurrrl. At the workplace?"

Yeah this video captures her sense of humor very well. She's such a goofball at times.
