Great to finally get new music from them. I liked them so much better on ballads but I understand that heading into summer, they needed to go the up-tempo route. I'm anxious to hear the full song as the chorus seems nice but uneventful.

Sounds very promising, and the lyric video looks like it's going to be really good.

This is really good! It'll be interesting to see if this does well considering they did very well during the season, but who knows if that'll translate to post-success.

I wonder if this will be pushed to Alternative also. This sounds a lot like something Of Monsters and Men have done.

Wow, I'm really excited for this and I have never even watched the X-Factor.
Reminds me a lot of Phillip Phillips, I don't know about Alternative, but it should have some success of AAA.

If you haven't watched the X Factor and this clip is your first exposure to them, check out some of their live X Performances on YouTube, namely Gravity, Say Something, and Say My Name.

I know it is wrong, but I always want to hate songs from singing competetions. Too many let downs and too many false hopes. However, I really like this folky pop song. It isn't A+ material, but it is breezy and a good singalong summer track. All in all, B for me.

I think it's a really cute and clever lyric video too. The full music video will come out later, and will feature them. It's crazy to think that out of all the winners of "singing" shows this year, the one that got canceled might have the biggest act.

Ooh I really like this! I'm getting an Of Monsters and Men vibe from this, which is good. I could see this doing well actually. I do think their live vocals are better than their studio though.

Toby Gad and Lil Eddie wrote on this I think.

I was Team Carlito all the way (he's so GORGEOUS), so I never paid Alex & Sierra attention, but this song is cute. I wouldn't mind hearing this on the radio. :)

Love the full song. I was concerned that we would not get enough imagery in the verses to the support the "Scarecrow" title but they did a good job of carrying that theme throughout the song.
I also think the lyric video is quite cute and clever and even better than most regular videos of late.

Didn't care for them. I liked Jeff Gutt. Nonetheless the song sounds pretty cool and may be a good multi-format smash if it's released to radio. I still don't think I'd call myself a fan of theirs.

I'm in the minority apparently but I find this to be incredibly weak.
