This could totally be about the fight over who will create the RT's.

Interesting: this got sent to pop radio via HitDisc this week. I know a radio edit was already made available to specialty (AAA or college radio, if anything) stations last week.

Is this actually being sent to pop? I sure hope so - incredible track.
It should be - and Harvest should invest everything it has in this. This is the perfect song to be this year's late-August/early-September, weird "Royals" type hit.
Absolutely epic chorus. Sexy vocal delivery throughout. Memorable bridge. Winner if it gets a real push.

i would love if this smashed. i think it's a really good song going into the fall and i definitely agree with it being a royals-esque hit. i just hope what happened to habits doesn't happen to this.

I definitely see the Habits connection, so I completely agree with that concern. Especially since Habits has Republic behind it, and that label hasn't had one issue whatsoever turning Ariana Grande into a monster this year. But I think this is a much more masterfully done song. Better lyrics, more creative production, more unique vocals. Plus, while the hook might not be QUITE as memorable as "Gotta Stay High," it's still something sticky ("Beggin for Thread" sounds like it could be a hit rap song title - it's interesting) and less likely to offend (even though the song definitely has some dark moments).

This could be her breakout hit in my opinion, really catchy and could easily see radio picking this up.

I love her.
I am surprised by how mainstream this sounds, didn't really think she was about that, but good on her. It's a great tune.

This is the next iHeartRadio On the Verge song. I'm not sure if it's for Alt or here. Hopefully it's Alt, I'd rather see someone like Hozier, Milky Chance, Big Data, or Vance Joy get it. Big Data would need it the most.

I do think that the fact that song is more urban-leaning than alternative-leaning will also help its case.

As evidenced by Come with Me Now, Stolen Dance and Riptide, nearly every alt On the verge song ends up heading to pop and Hot AC. So we could be seeing this at pop--where it definitely deserves some traction--in a few months

This is something that can go slow but get there. It's a wonderful song and it should be a hit.
