What the hell was that. "Harlem" was annoying but decent. This is just plain bad.

Looks like they were dropped by RCA as previously thought. Kinda odd considering "Harlem" did very well. The album and "Tonight You're Perfect" did pretty well for not being promoted at all.

Yeah... this is pretty bad. I didn't really like either single from the last album. I know "Harlem" did very well, but I just found it completely overrated and annoying. I did however like "Yeah Yeah Yeah" and "Dignity" from the previous album, so go figure.

Their two biggest alternative hits came from the last album, it did alright commercially, they touched CHR with "Harlem" and "Tonight You're Perfect" was a decent Hot AC hit. I don't know how the drop is justified. I thought "Berlin" woulda been released as a 3rd single and they'd take a couple years to tour, this is really quick.
Listening to it, I actually kinda like it. It's not as good as their past 2 lead singles, and I guess considering how cool the intro is the rest of the song doesn't really live up to it. I think this will be the kind of song that peaks at like #39 and we never hear anything from them again.

I actually was a huge fan of both Harlem and Tonight You're Perfect. I don't mind this one on first listen, I could see it growing on me in time. Kind of sounds like Hollywood Undead, but a much softer version.

Haven't heard this yet, but if I don't like it I'll probably like the second single. I'm 1/2 on loving singles from both albums. Liked Dignity and Harlem, was eh about Yeah Yeah Yeah and Tonight You're Perfect.

I was hoping to see some type of mash-up cover of Hollywood Undead and Thirty Seconds To Mars. Unfortunately, that's not the case. They should have released "Berlin" as a single while they had the chance.

I liked most of A Bad Girl In Harlem and some of their debut, but this is awful.

They left RCA and signed with DCD2 (the relaunch of Decaydence).

I like the sound of this - it's like a cross between "Harlem" and the first album's singles. Not sure about the lyrics, though.

adds date moved back a week I'm guessing it's because now they're buddies with FOB being on Decaydance and all, so they probably wanna put some space between it and "Centuries" |

finally got around to hearing this. it's easily my least favorite of all 5 singles, but there is some element of catchiness there that might grow on me a little. can't ever see me liking it as much as Dignity or Harlem though. It's too heavy in the wrong ways I think, lyrics are pretty crap too.

This is starting to grow on me actually. It's really catchy. The lyrics are bad, but everything else is pretty good.
