...I don't think Truffle Butter is suited for pop. In fact, I think this is the ONLY song suited for pop, even though I don't really use it at all unless it just comes on. I have NEVER actively sought it out though. Why would I?

I have NEVER actively sought it out though. Why would I? The premise behind the Truffle Butter comment, presumably, is that the song seems to already have some momentum at pop. It has been added by some major market stations.

This sounds like it should have been on her last album.

This is one of the most bland songs on the album but is probably the most pop radio friendly as it closely resembles some of the sounds from the pop half of Roman Reloaded. Yet this announcement feels out of left field only because of the number of singles, planned singles, or album cuts receiving airplay on multiple formats right now. It's making the era feel messy as far as what's being sent to radio. If they stick with this, it should do okay.

This sounds outdated. I could see it possibly going top 20 but not really lasting all that long.

This is the worst song on the album. Maybe it's suited for pop radio but honestly it sucks. I wouldn't be surprised if it flopped... The whole album is literal perfection and this song is the one stain on it. A song like Anaconda is loud and fun and catchy while this song is dry and bland and there are no hooks. Pissed about this.

Generic? Yes. But still enjoyable. Next single? Questionable choice.

The chorus is definitely the main problem. It's literally tragically boring and hookless.

I can see why they went with this. The album basically tanked WW so I guess they want to regain some interest.
I would have gone with The Crying Game though.

This actually would fair better than BOL on Pop. Truffle Butter is still not an official single, it simply has steam. Things like this has happened before.

I heard this on the radio and it sounded good but I will be forever pissed that BOL wasn't push properly.

See...this song is exciting during the verses and then the chorus kicks in and it loses the excitement; although, it should STILL be released to Pop. Its the most suited imo. Grand Piano is pretty great too, but I dont see her ever performing it live...although Id love her to.

This sounds like it's a leftover from Roman Reloaded, and does nothing to give credence to Nicki moving away from such obvious pop baiting songs.
I really think they should just go ahead and roll with "Truffle Butter" and give it some support with an official adds date on CHR. It could do very well if promoted properly, it seems to be a big hit with a lot of my friends who aren't really big hip-hop fans.

I'm glad she's doing dual releases. Instead of one song carrying the album at 1 time.

So they're scrapping "Bed of Lies"? Damn. I like that one more than this. :(
But I still like "The Night Is Still Young" and am glad it's going to be a pop release, since it was one of the few options she has for a CHR hit.

The pop equivalent to a slice of white bread, but white bread has gone #1 more than enough times in the past. This might be inoffensive enough to do well for her here.

The singles game this era has been a f**king mess. Bed Of Lies is the new pop single! Feeling Myself for Urban! Truffle Butter is taking off on its own, nope - still pushing Bed Of Lies, but wait no - that's DOA! Chuck this out instead! Either follow where radio is leading or push harder with what you actually intended to release, but don't f**k around like this, it's unnecessary mess.

'Get On Your Knees' tho.... :(
Honestly would've loved 'Truffle Butter' as a single too (it had a shot after 'Anaconda'), but who thought pushing this as the followup would be a good idea?

@touch Oh definitely, on GOYK - subject matter aside, Ariana being a radio darling right now helps its case as a single option. As far as potential singles go, Nicki's actually kind of spoiled for choice. But the lack of a focused direction is painful.

I love pop Nicki but this does nothing for me. Get On Your Knees and The Crying Game are the best songs for pop.

Perfect single choice. It's inoffensive and care free a and very mainstream.
