I would have expected it to be "Leave Your Lover."

Hopefully Capitol sends a more upbeat one (only like 2 on the album lol) out for the 3rd single. These slow songs are gonna get old real quick for Sam. "Like I Can" could be a decent hit.

I strongly believe an artist can survive on mostly ballads in this day and age. If this were the 00's I would have said "no way."

Lmao at literally everyone requesting a different song for 2nd single. Clearly there's no unanimous choice.

Noo should have been safe with me :/ You can't follow up "stay with me" with a song called "safe with me". I'm actually surprised they even allowed that on the album and didn't demand a retitle for one of them

love this BUT it's not the right song to follow up SWM (they sound too similar imo). They should have switched it up and released "Money on my Mind".

"Restart" is an incredible song. If that isn't a single, I will be so upset.

I think it's a smart choice. It's a midtempo more than a ballad, i would prefer Money on my mind (maybe a little riskier). Leave your lover is great, but too slow (maybe a winter release).
Anyway, i don't think they release this now, Stay with me is still rising in all charts (maybe in UK)

I don't hear midtempo at all in this song. I really think this song is lacking a hook and will be a mistake. I like it, but it's too jazzy for mainstream radio.
I really think he needs to go with "Like I Can" or "Leave Your Lover."

This song is a bit more up-beat than Stay With Me at any rate. Maybe they think it's okay to release two slow songs since he's got Latch smashing atm (although Latch itself is hardly the most up-beat song in the world).

He is selling albums, and frankly right now i think radio will buy anything he'll release. It's not that common that a new artist had two hits smashing the top 10 at the same time like he has right now
I'm not that sure this will be next single. I think he will release a third single in UK before releasing a new one in the USA, Stay with me seems quite far from peaking right now and it will be a mistake release something so soon.
I still think Money on my mind will be the best follow up, it's more uptempo, and yes, it's a little weird at first, but radio will give it an opportunity if it's released after Stay with me, and after a bunch of listenings it feels really great. And the song is not doing that bad, it's in the bubbling under chart for a couple of weeks even without any airplay.
By the way, his cover of How will i know made the AC chart

I love this song. Glad it's become a single, and it's a decent change of pace from "Stay With Me".

Why not "Money On My Mind"? Hope they will go with that after this.

I'm happy. Love this one. Still wish some of the bonus tracks were regular edition tracks so they could have the chance at being singles.

I like this, unlike "Stay With Me," which just bored me.

This is an odd single choice to me. It just kind of plods along and goes nowhere.
And I hope Dianna isn't playing his love interest in the video. Ummmmm... no need to play straight now. That would be disappointing.

That would be disappointing. That wouldn't make any sense months after coming out (with little fanfare). When he was filming the Leave your lover video there was a lot of speculation from the media that he was dating the girl on the video, he said then that they were only friends and the video itself it was like a coming out. I think it's a big mistake from a gay singer (no mater if he is not ready to come out or he doesn't want to do it even) to make videos with a female love interest and with explicit heterosexual lyrics, because that always end biting you in the ass. English is a language where is quite easy to make lyrics to suit all genres. For example Ricky Martin was able to change lyrics from his english songs, but most his spanish songs sound quite weird now (i think he is forgot for all his lies because he is a very likeable man but other won't have such luck). I don't think this will be a bad choice, it was number one on itunes when it was released as promo and made the hot 100. I remember people saying Someone like you was a bad choice for Adele and it was a big hit. But as i say before, i'm not that sure this will be the second single either, Stay with me seems far from peaking right now, aned i don't see him releasing another single in a near future in the USA, maybe in a couple of months.

I'm actually surprised they even allowed that on the album and didn't demand a retitle for one of them In country Jake Owen had massive success with "Alone With You" and then closed out his album with "Anywhere With You." It was the second-best selling single from his album (After Barefoot Blue Jean Night). It's ok and it can even work. But you're right, they can't be back to back.

This is what I wanted, but even so I'm skeptical. People will think this sounds too much like "Stay With Me," even though it really doesn't. His vocals on "You don't think I know what you've done" are flawless

Let's be fair, when Stay with me was released most people said that it wouldn't work. He has a lot of good songs in his album, but they are not the typical pop hits ready for radio.
This is very different from Stay with me, and i think it could work. It sold a lot when it was released as promo for the album, and right now he is the kind of artist that can release whatever he wants and it will be played (at least till he gets a flop).
His album is selling well and more singles will carry more sales for the album, but i don't think this (or any other single) will be released at least not till september when Stay with me peaked
