Lead single from Adam Lambert's 2nd studio album 'Trespassing'. Peaked at #76 on the Hot 100, and barely scraped into the top 50 on pop radio at #50.

They absolutely botched the release of this. Smack in the middle of December, with Christmas around the corner? Dumb AF. :sip2: Also I recall this getting a really underwhelming response at the time, and I think it wasn't given enough credit. The Dave Aude remix is quite good too.

I love that we are always finding ways to try to get someone to listen to our flop faves. No YOP thread, RT theme, or Games section stone will be left unturned in our mission to get somebody, anybody to validate our taste in music. That is when you know the love of the music is real. Like "LISTEN TO THESE SONGS THEY'RE GREAT DAMMIT PLEASE GIVE MY FAVES 0.0000002 CENTS ON SPOTIFY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD." It's the modus operandi of Pulse so much at this point.

I love this song, but it wasn't the right lead single choice. The timing was f**ked too, as stated above. They obviously went with a midtempo because of "Whataya Want From Me," but something like "Trespassing" or "Cuckoo" would've made a much bigger statement. I'm not sure anything would've been a huge radio hit out of the gate, which is unfortunate because Trespassing is such a good album and he has yet to top it for me personally.

The Dave Audé remix is awesome as well, and still holds up.
