They better not be moving on from Evolve already. There's still smashes left.

Agreed, I Don't Know Why still has to smash! Welp, basic music is easier to produce so clearly they already have new material..

I'm assuming this could be for a re-release due to the caption, but they should have waited until "Whatever It Takes" was done.
Hopefully this sucks just so it doesn't get in the way, lol.

Think they planned it to touch Europe countries and then, when WIT finally peaking (june maybe), to cross over to US.

What a weird time for this since WIT is still chugging along on alt and just got pushed to pop.

Premiering on Beats 1 right now. It's for a re-release of Evolve.
It's more of a subdued love song, something Dan says he barely writes. Kinda reminds me of something Ed Sheeran would record and turn it into a smash. It's decent, but there's way better hits on the album than it.

So which ones are the butt noises It hasn't been explicitly stated, but I think it's the second and third beat. It goes "1, 2-3, 1, 2-3..." and it's on the 2-3. can you guys tell how knowledgeable I am in my musical language? |

It's fine, but the vast majority of the album is better.

Not happy that I just purchased this album last month on iTunes and I dont get this new track without paying for it,,,and there are no other new songs. Meh. Anyway, its not bad, but I would most definitely go with other songs that are still left, before this one.
Start Over, Walking The Wire, even I Dont Know Why... Shame. Its all moving too quickly it feels like.

Re-releasing an album with one more song sounds stupid to me, even Shawn Mendes did it stupidly
Anyways I love this but couldn't see it doing well
They could also pull a GGGB and release something else after this (I Don't Know Why please)

That's what my ass sounds like when slapped.
They are RIDICULOUS for re-releasing Evolve with ONE song. It's not like the album is struggling. But...I like this song more than WIT. I love the verses on that song but don't like the production and the chorus just sounds like some SportsCenter promo tie-in. It's too bro, even for them. I was hoping for Walking The Wire and few others.

It is nice. WIT is way better. All the other singles from Evolve besides the three released already don't seem like hit-worthy songs tbh.
Those other singles, however, do have some cool cover art. I'll give them that.

This song is absolutely GREAT.
But a bad time to be released, with WIT starting to smash :(.
And a re-release? What were you thinking guys? This could've been released in june or later to be the first single of the next album, but not now. But it isn't very important because the song is excellent.

Wow that rhythm is really strange. It almost sounds like the song is skipping or something. They keep having an offbeat rhythm section on some of their singles and I don't know why, I guess it sounds better on here then it sounded on Roots but that doesn't say much.
This is an okay song overall, but I agree with what everyone else has said -- the timing is super weird, and WIT seems like a far safer hit then this.

I really enjoy Roots for everything it has to offer... except for the weird beat. It just sounds like a got a bootleg version with a mistake in the mixing. It really drags the song down. The same kind of happens here, but it's less annoying. |
