Yep, Dot officially pulled promotion for "Fly" this week.

Makes sense since it looks like Fly has bowed out of the race at the top. This will be either really big or be a really big bust I don't see any in between. As what everyone will say I am beyond thrilled to see this released.

This will be either really big or be a really big bust I don't see any in between. I guess there's always a chance a song could flop by someone not named Luke Bryan or Blake Shelton but I'm actually pretty confident that this will be a big hit. I won't quite say it'll be a lock to go to #1, but country radio has known for many weeks now that this song would be the next single and the way Dot has built up their momentum along with the response radio gave "Fly", I'd be pretty surprised if this wasn't a fast riser, considering this is only their third single.

I think this could be one one of bigger sleeper hits of 2016. Should be peaking in summertime as well, making this a great choice. This is exactly the type of song country music needs right now. It's original, has personality, and manages to be "fun" and "uptempo" without being generic and heavy on Pop or EDM production. I will be rooting for this single like crazy. Great choice and the most logical one.

Maddie & Tae are starting out like the Wreckers. A #1 followed by a #9. I hope M&T (not the bank) can get a top ten here and get it there faster than Fly.

I hope this smashes. This was one of my favorite albums this year. These two hopefully will have a career long past two songs.

SO glad this is out of limbo and official!!! I think this will be big for Maddie & Tae, though I don't expect it to gain a lot of traction until after the first of the year. SO excited for this, though. Yay!

YES! I don't have much faith in country radio these days, so the presence of actual country instruments makes me a tad nervous as to how this song will do. 10 years ago it would have undoubtedly be a smash. In 2015, I'm just going to keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best. This is definitely an awesome song, and one of the best off of their superb album.

^ I know that this one sounds ultra country, sonically, but I'm about as confident as I could be that this will be a big hit.
I personally think Dot has done a fantastic job with them and this song being released right now will do wonders for them.

M&T has been growing to me (still not a fan of GIACS, but I've grown to love Fly), and I'm excited to see this on the charts.

I'm pretty confident that if "Fly" can make the Top 10, then this one surely will (and hopefully much faster) and I've got a very good feeling that this will be their second #1 hit. I really can't see this being anything other than a huge smash and I'm super excited about this because it's between this and "Waitin' on a Plane" for me as my favorite track on their debut. <3

This song is EXACTLY what modern country should sound like. Engaging enough to keep the young guns from turning the radio dial but country enough to keep the traditionalists happy. Pretty sad when the traditionalists hope rests on 3 late teen early 20 year olds (Maddie and Tae/Mo Pitney)

This is honestly not one of my favorite tracks from the album, but I still like it quite a bit, which speaks to how solid the whole thing is. Definitely rooting for this do well, and I hope it'll do so faster than "Fly" (I think it will).

No surprise at all that this is the next single. I'm expecting it to do very big things for them, and likely become their second #1.

I'm not as crazy about this one as everyone else seems to be, but it does sound like a hit so here's hoping.

Definitely rooting for this do well, and I hope it'll do so faster than "Fly" (I think it will). I echo this. It wasn't one of my favorites, but it's still pretty good. That said, this is a very logical choice for single #3.

A few things...
- GREAT choice. This is going to be huge.
- They better make a video for this!
- if this hits like I think it would, maybe an ACM Duo Trophy coming their way.......maybe be bold prediction, but they are rolling right now and they not only have label support, they have industry support which could put them over the top.

Far and away their best single so far. This is an absolute smash.
The fact that they were able to use a salmon shorts reference (when my goodness, those shorts are EVERYWHERE during the summer) in a song about fishing is pure genius. This is one of my favorite songs of the year.

This has the potential to be a career making hit for M&T. It has literally everything you could ask for in a modern country song. Genuine country instrumentation, clever song writing, strong vocals (the song doesn't call for a big range, but interpretation is crucial - that's what sells the tongue-in-cheek storyline). I'm not going to hyperbolically state that this turns the tide of country radio back to a more traditional, story driven sound - but it's going to be a hit and it should at least show programmers that listeners love this style too. It just seems insane to me that this exists in the same genre as the current Sam Hunt single, but I digress.

LOL I just realized that yesterday while listening to The Wreckers' "Tennessee" (that should've done better on the charts ). I'm sure "Shut Up And Fish" will do much better numbers!

From the first day I bought this album, I knew this song HAD to be a single. So glad to see it will officially get released, even though I would have liked seeing, "Fly" reach a higher peak position. I am interested to see what comes out of a music video for this. It should unfold nicely.

Great choice.
As others have said, it's the perfect representation of what modern Country should be.
It strikes the prefect balance of being cute and relatable to younger listeners, yet the quality and Country instrumentation will likely please those who may not be behind younger artists these days.
The drought of Country ladies/groups has me all but tuned out to Country radio these days; if Maddie and Tae can bring back that sound that's reminiscent of the Dixie Chicks, Wreckers, SheDaisy, etc. it will be the best thing Country radio has embraced in years.
Please, please, please let this smash.

I'm so excited about this being the next single! I see this definitely going to be a huge hit and the video also too! This is already a frontrunner for a multi week no.1 mark my words! I think that this is going to land this accolades and more success all around 2016

This song is really good! Very country sounding with just enough of a modern twist to likely find success in country's current climate.
I was very mixed on "Girl In A Country Song" but I grew to love "Fly" and really enjoy this one as well. Since I already had Spotify open to listen to this song, I decided to give the rest of their album a listen. It's excellent!

Wow! It looks like radio cant stop playing "Fly" fast enough. Way past time to move on.
Excited for this one!! SUAF will garner them another #1 for sure.
