Can't wait for this. Hopefully they can score another Grammy.

The beginning and drums remind me Empire State of Mind, maybe because of the piano/drum arrangement. Hold Each Other is bringing a sound that's totally different from singles off their first album, definitely more pop.

Excited to hear this! Your description is promising - I think some of their earlier material was cutesy to the point of being saccharine and corny, so I'm glad to read this should be a bit of a departure.

Wow. This is A Great Big World!? Talk about a departure. I actually like it a lot. The rap actually fits pretty well. He blends in nicely.
Their debut was pretty average to me. It got really corny in parts and was overall uninteresting. tbh the only ones I think I liked were "Rockstar", "Say Something" (solo version, f*ck the Christina version; high burn rate though), "This is the New Year", and "Everyone Is Gay".

Excited to hear this! I loved Already Home, and although Say Something was a song you couldn't listen to a lot, it was good

Ah - he announced changing it last week due to constant misspelling/mispronunciation, or so it seems.

Lmao that resonates with me. Except that pic says Bacariano and I've seen Vaccarino all over the internet...LOL
Anyway: the song is quite a departure for them & I'm glad they changed it up, but I don't see it being a hit (at least on Top 40) without some sort of clever push. I wish them best though because they're super talented and nice guys.

I can't say for sure, but with 15 Hot AC adds, it wouldn't surprise me tonight to see this with at least 10 adds on CHR. I'll be a tad surprised if this *doesn't* chart.

Anyone else think Futuristic complements the song really well? His rap adds a nice touch, and I think his lyrics are outstanding. Perfectly written too.

This is basically a "See You Again" clone with the production. I love it, though. And I loathed "Say Something."
