and the hair that sweeps across her chin has been added....that cannot be the real cover. Someone has got to be mocking her love of photoshop - surely!

I hope to God it is. This campy mess keeps me FOCUSED on her like never before.

The cover is clearly photoshopped to death, but I love it.

I just don't get why they went to the effort of putting a different face on the cover photo and even pasting in new hair. It there wasn't the budget for a new shoot, use one of the other pics from the album booklet.
Regardless, looking forward to (hopefully) hearing this on the radio :)

The lack of originality - and effort - in creating her album/single covers is appalling and even slightly infuriating to me.

Lmaoo at that animated gif (starting to see it everywhere now) :/. It's just making everything more of a joke and def. not helping the song. She's getting stoned on her own damn Facebook page! I know it's only a single cover but it reeks from 'someone(s)' at the label doing this purposely (withOUT good intentions). This is all so Glitter/Motolla 2014 lol. WHY not just use any other pic (even the one w/ Courtney Love on Facebook was better)! LOL Of course, I'm already starting to see articles mocking and shading the single cover on various online web-sites. Just wait until Wendy Williams gives her 'take' on this next week. Bottom line..how are all these missteps going to fire up radio and the public?

OMG lol so WHO chose it and WHY most importantly? She's basically saying they did her dirty and the single cover is a done deal. Blatant label clash going on here. It's beyond crystal clear they're doing everything 'their' way= she's merciless now and Def Jam is blatantly doing everything possible to bury this era and finish their contract w/ her like..6 months ago :/.

Was the "Thirsty" image also not her choice? That one was a messy Photoshop job, too.
Yah, a hits compilation probably will close out the Mimi-island relationship.

They definitely need to part asap. While I don't know much about what happened with Mariah and the label, I can definitely see how the label would be pissed because she's delayed the album so many times, and she battled the label to get "Thirsty" released over this much superior track (well, from what I read). As such, I can't muster up much sympathy over the clash about the single cover for "YDKWTD." I can't wait for the song's official release because the focus should be on the music.

Official single cover: That can't be real. Her face looks like it just came out of the birth canal. I legit spat out my Red Bull.

So if the cover wasn't her selection, someone at the label went to the effort of photoshopping a new face onto her body when they could've just used another photo and been done in a few minutes? that doesn't sound good lol.

They could have even just used plain background with the text on it. It would be a little lazy yes, but it would look better than this. It's clear that there is something going on behind the scenes and she wants one thing, they want another thing that is different from what she wants. It's not good. Perhaps she should leave now before it gets really messy.

I really hope they can work out something soon. Something is obviously happening behind the scenes. That disgusting Photoshop mess did not help anything at all.
SOLO VERSION:
Can't wait to listen to the other radio edits! I'm curious how they all compare to the album version. The solo version will definitely work on Hot AC & AC stations.

There's also a radio edit without the intro.

Does anyone know when this is getting sent for adds on Pop? I know it's July 1st for RHY/URB so are they planning to wait for few weeks before sending this over to Pop? I don't think it'd be wise for them to send this over to Pop when it's way too late.

The song is growing on me. I didn't like it at first but i like it now. Very old school Mariah in all the best ways.
I'll be shocked if this does well on pop, but of course I still hope it does.
