Got home yesterday really tired and only listened to this one time before falling asleep. Today I added it to my iPod and listened while driving, it it sounds PERFECT in the car, driving around the city. At first it's a little underwhelming, but it's got a relatable message, it's easy to sing along to, and Hilary's voice sounds actually good. And the video is literally flawless, one of her best videos, if not the best.
I was one of the bunch campaigning for Dignity 2.O, but at the end of the day, what made Dignity a great and solid album wasn't the dance/pop production, it was the honesty and the maturity of the song themes and lyrics, so I'm perfectly fine with her going in a breezy, folksy, more adult contemporary direction, as long as her lyrics are relatable and mature.
I'm sure it will grow on people, it's a cute little song 100% relatable for the end of summer break, I just hope radio gives it a chance. Not expecting a No. 1 on Pop radio, but it becoming her highest charting song would be awesome.

Unfortunately, it's tumbling down iTunes.... #75 now. Ouch.
But, the video is up to 8 million views.

I actually really like this. I wasn't expecting much after reading some of the comments about the song first, but I find it to be incredibly catchy and I definitely enjoy it for what it is. Not sure how well it'll do to re-launch her career, but I am just very happy that Hilary Duff is releasing music again.

I feel bad for all the hate she is getting, i hardly see any positive comments about the song. I'm surprised people can be so against a song that is so unoffensive.

It's boring and horrible. She can do better even with folk pop. This just isn't it. IMO

OMG! This song played while I was at work! It put me in such a good mood! (Which is hard to do considering I HATE my job!!!) Such a nice relaxing song!!! I'm glad she didn't go all out tbh, this song is much better!

I need to know where you're visiting because everywhere I've gone, reviews have been mixed (at worst). Unless you're talking about ONTD, which honestly shouldn't count for anything as they are always bitter concerning just about everything.

I like this. It's such a grower and puts you in such a good mood. So summery too.
It's basically Stars Are Blind 2.0 but still.

I'm so in love with this that I've played it and watched the video a few times. I also wanted to make a cool avatar, but I got a lackluster one, and the ones that are cool I can't upload because they are bigger than 1MB. :(
LOL

This is a huge grower. I can't get the 'Love and life I'm living out/Will live the life I love' part out of my head!

Well, just as I expected, this has grown on me exponentially. I've had it on repeat all day, and I love it even more each time I hear it.
It's actually the perfect song to listen to on a cloudy, chilly day. I keep imagining myself on a sunny beach somewhere, just like she does in the video.

is this anywhere on radio? I'm kind of concerned about this, I emailed a guy that works in Digital Marketing at RCA for Hilary about this and he told me "We should have impact& add dates confirmed shortly. Will let you know when we do"
That gave me hope, but I mean shouldn't these dates have been planned weeks in advanced? Maybe they wanted to test the water first to see how the song did online. If they want this song to take off at all it needs to be on radio ASAP, it is a grower like others have said so people need to hear it over and over to love it. For all we know RCA may have this strategic plan.

Several cousins and my brother-in-law came home today and I played this video and some others, and they were in love with the song, and commented how great she looked and it seemed she never went away, as her face and image are basically the same.

11 million views for the video.
I have doubts about this making an appearance on the Hot 100. Let's hope a lot of those 11 million views are from the USA.
They really should've sent this to radio on Tuesday as well. ITunes, radio, video all at the same time would've been perfect.

It is really odd how they released everything, time will tell if they are treating this as a buzz single.

This a a grower... kinda reminds me of Kelly Clarkson's breakaway in the sense that it's not instant or chasing trends but we all know what that song did.

This is done. There's no hope in it being resurrected at this point.

This is done. There's no hope in it being resurrected at this point. It's only been out a week. Sure it's tumbling on iTunes, but it has had mixed to positive reviews and many people still don't know this is out. No where near done.

The video has already been released and even that hasn't been able to sustain interest in the song. The only other possible form of promotion now is a performance of some sort. The lesson to be learned: if you're planning a comeback, you need something better than a lukewarm single.
