I like it, but why Drake? oh well, it isn't a bad choice... it could've been worse. It could've been Pitbull or 2 Chainz for instance

It could've been Pitbull or 2 Chainz for instance They've had good collaborations in the past ("On the Floor" fit Pitbull perfectly, and with 2 Chainz "Burnin' Up" and "Talk Dirty" he did pretty good in) It's all a matter of context, Drake seems like the best choice for this kind of atmosphere.

This is a good choice, but unless this is an actual collaboration I see this fizzling in the top 20 again. We need an E.T. sized collaboration that will give fans who already bought the album a reason to buy this. Due to the struggling past two singles, now isn't the top to tack some generic rap onto the bridge and call it good enough.

I am kind of surprised they aren't doing a re-release with the Superbowl news. They would get holiday sales and Superbowl sales and singles would have a bit more momentum rather than being 5th and 6th singles following two under-performers in a row. But, I guess there are no guarantees that re-release singles would do well and that would cost more money for them and it will probably sell well anyway through the holidays/Superbowl.

If they're doing a re-release single, it would make more sense to release the single the week of the Super Bowl. This will likely be long dead by then. She doesn't need a single to hype the Super Bowl, but the Super Bowl could help to hype a new single.

At this point they're just throwing at the charts and hoping it sticks. This isn't bad, but it's not going to hit after this string of non-hits.

Ah I guess I was believing the rumor that they are following this up with WOA so there would be no re-release at all even though one was rumored earlier this year. That is kind of what surprises me since they have always capitalized x100 with her before, but I guess that could change or they are just satisfied with the singles, holidays, and Superbowl selling her without needing fresh singles or a re-release.

OH YESSS LL
But Drake? Don't like this add-a-rapper strategy at all.

Wow LL for winter and walking on air for spring is totally what I imagined, glad it's happening She has a good team and honestly I'm relieved WOA will get a chance to shine.

I am ecstatic. This and DH are my favorites from the album. Deliver a video with shades of beauty from Uncoditionally and wonder from ET.

A lot of people are pushing for this, and it's okay, but I don't hear the hit potential in this at all? It doesn't have a memorable melody. At least "Walking on Air" was catchy.

This has the most memorable chorus of the entire album, imo. I'm totally here for this. It's about damn time. Tho this isn't confirmed by the label yet. We have no idea how long that listing has been on Max's website. But I do know radio edits are being worked on for both this and WOA. With tracks that have been floating around online for a year now, it only makes sense for them to rework something. Gives buyers a new track to buy. Or two.

Well I suppose that the LL and WOA strategy would work if this becomes a major hit. This could rise in November and December. Then, they could either let the project rest a few weeks until the Superbowl, or send WOA to the radio so that it is already in a decent radio position for a sales spike during the game.

They are apparently planning on making the single mix more stripped down. I heard a snippet of the planned version and I think it's better than the album version.

Another single? It's not like the last two did that well to warrant more releases. Plus the "insert rapper here" comes across a little desperate.

I have mixed feelings towards this because a) the new version must be AWESOME to justify the whole thing b) she doesn't NEED Drake to feature to sell records. Did DH sell because of Juicy J? How many top ten hits Drake has had this year?
The original LL is and will remain the second best song on the album (after DH) but these actions they are apparently taking doesn't guarantee anything.
Wonder if the album will be re-released..

I never really cared for this as a single choice so I hope the label knows what they're doing.

Should have gone with WALKING ON AIR. :(
This is good but nowhere near as great as WOA.

This is definitely superior to WOA in my opinion but I'll be happy if both get released!
