The most radio-friendly song she's released so far this era, if this doesn't become a decent sized hit then I don't know what else she can do! Fingers crossed all the upcoming promotion will boost the song a lot.

This is one of those cases where all ingredients blended perfectly to create the song.
I love this!!! I've been finding excuses all day to listen to it.

Sounds like a hit to me, but, will pop radio play a song from a 46 year old singer?

Definitely the most instantly catchy and hit worthy of any song she's released in the last 2 years. It also sounds authentic to her and not like she's chasing trends. I love it.

I'm nervous for her video. A live video is gonna be risky and she needs a great video to succeed. The past music videos for her other singles have been disappointing and didn't give the songs any justice.
#11 on iTunes now :)

This is definitely the most Gwen-sounding single from the latest batch, I like it. I'm looking forward to seeing how the live video panes out and wish her so much luck with this song. I'd love to see Gwen representing the 40+ women on the radio/charts.

WELCOME BACK GIRL! Finally. If this doesn't catch on, then she can just give up on coming back.

The song is now available to purchase everywhere. I hope Gwen promotes this at least in the UK. I think they would be here for it, but i have heard the UK radio is even more ageist than US radio so i don't know :(

She has slayed this time BDL and UTLY were good but didn't generate too much slayage Spark the Fire was catchy for a few days.

Fingers crossed all the upcoming promotion will boost the song a lot. I'm not a huge Gwen fan, but I loved, "Used To Love You." But isn't that the only other song she has released this era? To say this is the most radio friendly song released this era is odd when there has only been one other song. Or am I wrong?

She initially released Baby Don't Lie and Spark The Fire, neither of which performed well, nor made it onto the final album.

I'm surprised by the positive reception because I find this very bland and forgettable. I was hoping for something a little more original. Better than Spark The Fire I guess!

"Used To Love You" was my favorite Gwen single since "Cool," but now I think this one is.

So did this not have an hourly deal across iHeartRadio stations? I heard it on KIIS yesterday evening and there was a bumper at the end that said you could hear it again next hour.

This is great. I hope it does well for Gwen. I think it could have a shot at going top 10 (if this doesn't, I doubt she ever gets there again). I'm glad it looks like she/her label are going to fight for this with significant promo.
The only disappointing thing about the album rollout so far is that "Baby Don't Lie" won't be included. I really liked that one as well.
