What's interesting is this song doesn't sound at all 8 years old. It always had that bit of an 80s pop influence, but I bet there will be a lot of people who think this is a new song by some new band.

It feels a lot more "in" with the mainstream from 2013-now than it did in 2008, for when it was more alt. than anything else. Funny how genres can distort over time. I would be here for this being a hit.

KMVQ in San Francisco is playing the song regularly now. It might just take off if enough stations add it.

When I think of the biggest, best known songs that were never even minor US hits, this is one of the first to come to mind. Might as well send the MGMT singles that were big in 2008. ...and "Kids" and "Electric Feel" are the others. I'll add "Time to Pretend" to that.

If that Honda commercial airs during the Super Bowl, there's no telling what this could do.

But seriously so here for this. Get that MEGA overdue hit!
Where did Alive peak? Was it ever pushed? It hovered outside the Top 50 somewhere. I don't recall if it had an official push with adds date etc but I do recall seeing it in the below 50 updates, when those were a thing, and it was like in the 60's at some point.

This doesn't even sound like a song from 2008 at all. After listening to it. I get "Shut Up and Dance" vibes from it. You never know. If it continues on how it's performing it could be as big as that.

Well this is so random. I've loved this song for about a year now, I had no idea it was 8 years old though!

The fact that this is a debut and not a re-entry demonstrates how fucked up 2008 was.

"Time To Pretend" should be a hit. I think that would be huge. This is still crazy to me. haha

Wow, I was just listening to Wiz Khalifa's "The Thrill" the other day and decided to find this song. So weird that it's now being sent to radio...

Just curious, but what does 'mock update' mean?

Just curious, but what does 'mock update' mean? A mock update is an estimated update from the leaders and starters radio stations which are playing a determinated track. This info is found on AllAccess under the Taking Off and Spincrease sections.
