Goes for pop adds on June 3, according to AllAccess and R&R. It was featured as an iTunes Single of the Week late last year.

To me, its like a more generic sounding Paramore. Kinda meh to me but strange things can happen with this kind of song.

I actually don't mind this at all, it's really catchy and that beat just makes it that much better!

I've already sent this song to #1 for two weeks on my personal chart. Back in December! #lateasfuq
But I'm all for this smashing!

I love it, it reminds me of the 80s, like it came right out of a Brat Pack movie soundtrack.......

I like this a lot. I thought the lyrics of the chorus were very juvenile at first, but once I paid attention to the verses, I realized that there was more to the song than someone whining about how she wanted to be popular. The lyrics aren't the greatest, but apparently the singer is only 17 and one of the other members is even younger, so I'm certainly willing to cut them some slack and assume that their songwriting abilities will improve with age. I think the song is very good instrumentally. My favorite part is the almost mysterious synth melody, which complements the otherwise atmospheric sound of the song very nicely.

I heard this on the radio and wondered why my alternative station was debuting the new heavily pop-influenced Taylor Swift song.

Sydney Sierota is obviously something special - and the initial comparison is to Hayley Williams (energetic, tiny, red hair, pop-punk type songs). But her inflection is pure Swift -- and the song "Tell Her You Love Her" easily could have been an early Swift song. This one looks like it's starting to move as far as spins, but it needs to get added by some big market stations to make a real dent.

I don't hear a hint of anything resembling Taylor Swift in this song. Am I missing something?

I liked this when it was a free single. It would be cool to see it do something.

Ugh. People making Taylor Swift comparisons are going to ruin this song for me. There aren't any, really. The lead vocalist, Sydney Sierota, has more of an indie-ish influenced voice and tone. I'm surprised this isn't pushing sales for their album, Talking Dreams.
