The delay from the BBMAs performance was kind of a waste, but they got the timing of the release down given the imminent leak. Radio deal + (albeit delayed) iTunes banner were good, and she has promo lined up. The only real "issue" is the video but her team seems to be going for a slow build here—think 'Dangerous Woman'.
I imagine it could be better, but this is by no means "messy". All a performance + release + video combo would do is ensure a big debut with little to show for it in the long term.

If the video was released at the same time with the song, it MIGHT have debuted in top ten (maybe #10 if very lucky) on Hot 100 but would've plummeted the week after regardless so it's not the answer if they were looking for high debut AND longevity.

This better not be going the way of 4-6 week play for a superstar release then drop it.... I liked this song when it was first released and I like it even more with each listen.

It's beginning to drop on iTunes again, radio has put the brakes on it. I still think this is going to be a hit but her team sucks.

Still love this song. I am hoping they don't screw up the video-hopefully it is a great one and will help propel it forward from this point. Any chance of a VMAs performance?

This really grew on me. I don't know if it was quite the "lead single" smash that she needed but I bump this now.

It's time to seriously consider getting the video out there. I'm glad that Jimmy Kimmel is this week, but I hope it's more than just an appearance. It needs to be the video premiere or a performance IMO.

Video has to come out this Friday or next Friday at the very latest. Sales keep dropping and radio seems to be eh about continuing support for it. I don't want this to flop (flop as in not last long, I think its top 20 peak is very good for her) :/

Could it be possible they decided to use this as a "buzz" single? It certainly got great reviews and people talking about her in a positive way musically-- maybe they decided to move on to the 2nd single that's more of a guaranteed smash?
It would be sad-- this song is SO good. I've seen so many videos with awesome choreography for it too. Prime Britney would have performed this enough to make it a classic staple in her catalogue for sure.

They could be right on track with their original plan and just had to get the song out faster because of the leak.

It would be sooooo dumb to waste this as a "buzz" single.

How many buzz singles will she have? Clearly getting an easy hit is out of the question so they should focus on delivering a solid pop album.

LMAO @ buzz single
My favourite term on forums, easily
All pre-album songs that don't do as well as expected are always "buzz singles"
Only top ten hits are proper singles.

I'm worried by the radio update. It could just be a couple of not so great days, but we've been here before with Britney. What's shocking to me is that because she's an iheart performer this year, I thought that would at least give her a guaranteed radio surge through September.

Her team needs to do something now. The song has the potential to be a sizable hit if handled properly.

I'll give her a pass about "Pretty Girls" being a buzz single. lol Maybe she just really wanted to work with Iggy and have a new song out for another Vegas run........

They could be right on track with their original plan and just had to get the song out faster because of the leak. I'd bet money on this being the case. They actually salvaged releasing it without a full leak by releasing a few weeks early, and the promo is starting this week/next week...hopefully. I'll give her a pass about "Pretty Girls" being a buzz single. lol Maybe she just really wanted to work with Iggy and have a new song out for another Vegas run........ I feel like we got a sort of unofficial confirmation that this was the case; the rumors about PG just being a cash-in single to bring some attention to the next run of Vegas and the whole thing about her just putting out an EP last year lead me to believe it was never intended to be a lead single. It's not like they haven't put out sub-par music just to promote her residency in the past.

All this is frustrating because this is her best song in years in my opinion .

Given she's been around for 18 years, top 20 hit is pretty damn amazing if you ask me. Call it "buzz single" or whatever, it'd be very tough to chart higher no matter how "official" the single was.
