Is there a promotion going on for this that I haven't noticed? #15 on iTunes and still climbing gradually. The only thing it has going for it is that it's almost Top 10 on Hot AC, but that can't be the only thing. Other than the fact that it's a bop, you mean? She performed it on the RDMAs last week (which has re-aired at least three times, I think) and Disney has been playing it in ads alongside their presentation of whatever award they gave to J-Lo; that may be part of it.

Shoots up 71-50* on the Hot 100 this week! Now where is pop radio on this? Seems like a natural fit and so much better than most of what's getting played today.

I'm really liking the melody and message of this one, but the bombastic 2010-Ryan Tedder sounding production makes it sound dated and cheap.

Absolutely hate those lyrics.
Also, hot Appleseed Cast remake.

The lyrics are cute, the song reminds me of a "Brave" re-hash. It's alright, but nothing that stands out to me atm.

She's performing this on Good Morning America later today (Thursday). While GMA doesn't usually send songs FLYING up the charts, the exposure might help this get into the iTunes top ten (seeing as it's already #13).

This is just the type of cheesy ass song that benefits greatly by a performance to a morning show audience.

I'm not sure if the Supergirl trailer or GMA helped more, this is going to be huge.

It's like a bad Kelly Clarkson reject from 5 years ago. Sorry, but this is not Brave, Brave is a good song.
Anyway, it's going to be a hit

I like the song, but it just seems like a rehash of Brave which wasn't anything special either. Though I could see people relating to the lyrics and giving this song more success. I can just picture middle aged women loving this song.

Moves 50-53* on the latest Hot 100 chart, but based on the recent sales boost I think it will bump up more next week. I still really don't understand the negativity here... yeah it's a pretty simple message but it's relatable and sung well.
Currently #4 on iTunes.
Does this have a video?

This reminds me of Bridgit Mendler's "Ready or Not". Definitely a good thing for me -- digging her voice and excited to see more of her!

I've been wondering about the video for this as well. You would think there would be one out by now. I was searching for a video for "Fight Song" and I couldn't find anything about the video or if/when one will be released.

Can't wait to see the video. I wondered why it wasn't out yet.

It is basically Brave Part 3, but it is a cute song and really, really catchy.

I don't care if this is (insert song here) part 542, this is a JAM.

Today's Columbia promo email said 90K sold this past week.
That number is almost certainly imprecise (the sales numbers listed in the ads are almost always off by a few thousand - does anyone know why?), but the story here is that the song really came alive in conjunction with buzz, the Supergirl trailer and GMA last week.

I've been loving this song for about a year, and Rachel Platten for about three years, so thank GOD this is going somewhere. Thrilled to see her succeed, and hope her first album gets rediscovered.

The video is pretty basic, but there's nothing wrong with that. Rachel is talented and I love her and her music. I enjoyed it nonetheless.
