FGL on a seemingly EDM song (Alesso being on this makes me think it's an EDM-ish song or at least in that direction like "Starving") is interesting. Hailee's biggest hit so far is "Starving" so maybe they're trying to recreate that succeed with a song that's similar in terms of musical direction.

Hot Avril Lavigne cover?
Also, "Let Me Go" is a perfect title for a song that is going to go nowhere.

I can understand Alesso wanting to be relevant again, but I don't think he'll be all that successful doing it with FGL and Hailee. The latter could, but the former is just so random. I am expecting this to be a complete and total disaster. :sip2:

I'm so confused by CHR artists' interest in collaborating with FGL. Their crossover hit was years ago and their voices are super twangy - not exactly CHR friendly. Bebe Rexha, The Chainsmokers, and now Hailee Steinfeld/Alesso... I actually like the two I've already heard quite a bit, but I actually like a lot of FGL's material. Super intrigued to hear this, but it certainly is puzzling.

How many names did they pull out of the hat before they agreed that THIS was the best combination of artists to put on a single together?
Can't wait for the new single from Tiesto, Dolly Parton and Green Day (featuring Quavo)

Andrew Watt? LOL so this is going to be a mix of EDM, country and alternative rock. Ok then.

I have (several) questions about this grouping of artists, but I also have questions about what Hailee Steinfeld is really trying to accomplish with her music career. I get that "Starving" was a hit (albeit a wildly forgettable song) and that she showed promise with "Love Myself", but she doesn't seem to be making any sort of lasting impact. I just don't see this working for her long term when she has such a successful acting career already.

Hailee's followup to "Starving" flopped with "Most Girls". It looks like Hailee is just going back to what worked with "Starving" on this one.

Andrew Watt? LOL so this is going to be a mix of EDM, country and alternative rock. Ok then. But he is a writer for It Ain't Me, Havana, Lonely Together, etc. I still feel weird about this.

Remember that time when Bebe Rexha wasn't credited on "Hey Mama" because it was "too many names for radio"?? >

Color me surprised. I like the sound of it, but I can't really get my hopes up because I still don't think those features would work. Guess we'll see!

It sounds good so far. I usually like songs with Hailee on them, but I'll wait to hear the whole song before I make my final decision.

The chorus is good.
I'm interested to see how Florida Georgia Line and watt play into this though. It doesn't sound like a song for either of them.

I can easily hear FGL over the verses on this. Only thing that doesn't fit them is the beat drop

I like this, but FGL was unnecessary.
