I can’t believe he’s going with something new. He had a lot of good potential singles from his debut they never released.

The lead single took a year to peak (aided by OTV) and the second single also took a year to peak...and not even reach the top 20 on Billboard Airplay lol. The album only came out a year ago but I wouldn't think the label would want to spend money and time promoting a third single off this album. The best bet is to give radio something brand new. |

Plus he only got two singles here because of how slow the charts move, but he also released 2 other additional singles from the record in Australia. I'm sure at this point moving on to something fresh is 100% his best bet after the lukewarm performance for "Day Drunk." |

I listened to his US debut once and was unimpressed, so never revisited it. I'm hoping this is better because I ADORE him and his voice! His Australian album was fantastic, he was absolutely stellar live, and such a nice guy when I met him. I have high hopes for this song.

His last single rightfully flopped because the melody was stolen. Hopefully this is something fresh and Flo Rida and the Honey Drippers gets their money.

Not sure how I feel about this one fully, but that production is so cluttered. I can see this flopping. Of it does become a hit it’ll be a soft one me thinks.

He looks prettier than he sounds. I wouldn't count him out on getting another hit because I can see his connection to Kelsea helping keep his career at least somewhat afloat, but he just doesn't have the voice or material that makes me see him truly breaking through.

Yikes. This is bad. That melody is unbearable and so is that hook.
"I love you like a diamond and diamonds are forever"
I just can't believe this was the best option? It's production is right up 2019 radio's alley but this is a hard pass. If a catchier song like "Day Drunk" (whose melody ripped off "My House") took over 40 weeks just to not even crack the top 20, I can't see this doing any better. "Kiss Somebody" would have never taken off if not for iHeartMedia saving it.

Well that's certainly a clumsy lyric. Hitting all the cliche boxes. At least being the husband of Kelsea Ballerini doesn't have effect on his US career. |

Second most added this week with 33 adds, solid start for this song, and I am very intrigued to see how this does in the new year since it seems like radio is a lot more interested in Morgan Evans than the general public.

After dropping out from the Top 60 last week on Billboard it looks like Warner Bros dropped this song judging by it's lack of spin leaders on AllAccess. This song only reached a peak of #52 on Billboard btw.

Hope they can come back with something interesting, his Australian debut was strong but his American output so far has been bland.

This song was a big pile of nothing so it's kinda refreshing to see it go nowhere and for it to just be let go and not needlessly propped up by the label for a long time.
