Why are people freaking? this is a good choice! FM isnt a winter song, i will be will do better this time of year. FM did nothing for the album in the UK still sitting at 103. I will be will keep the album selling. BIT was a mid tempo anyway wasnt a ballad.

This song is so boring. It sounds like filler from Mariah Carey's Music Box album. If they wanted three ballads in a row, "Yesterday" is a lot more contemporary.

3 ballads in a row ? bad mistake. She needs an uptempo NOW. Why is the add date so far away ?. I guess no holiday sales for Leona then. This will perform similarly to Better in Time as far as the Hot 100 position maybe even worse. I'm very disappointed. This might be a first flop for Leona I hope not.

^I love that song too. That would have been a better single than this even though it is growing on me already. 'Yesterday' almost made me cry the first time I heard it! Reminded me of my grandma.

I love the song, but I'm not sure if it'll do well.
I thought the same about BIT, and it did much better than expected. I'm hoping this will be proven wrong again.

Hopefully radio will pick it up early.

I feel so bi-polar. I went from not really feeling the song to loving it! It is putting me in the winter mood. That will soon fade though. In Southern CA, it's windy and hot.

I wonder if they're considering sending out both Forgive Me and I Will Be?

YES! I WILL BE FTW. I never heard Forgive Me and I don't want that horrid Take A Flop to be released so YAYAYAYAYA! Then, Yesterday can be next and she can establish herself as a ballads artist, which is where she belongs anyway.

I for one I'm very excited they're skipping FM. I've always thought it's one of the weakest songs on the whole album, but I have to say why not TAB and then this? That would make so much more sense, since she has not released an upbeat single yet. All I can think of is that they think the winter months will be better for this song, and then they can release TAB around spring/summer time.

Anyways, this is an amazing song right up there with BL, TAB, and Yesterday as my favorites on the album, and it does have a winter feel actually.

I just realized there's 2 videos of the Avril Lavigne version on youtube that have quite a few more views than the highest viewed one of Leona's. Leona's is so much better to me.

Just the "many fans" of Avril pumping her views up.

People need to stop freaking out about the ballads. It doesn't matter that they're all ballads, they're all very different. Honestly I'm glad because it's one of the four highest quality songs on the album (IMO - BL, MG, and TAB being the other three). I don't think this would hurt her, if anything I don't think Better In Time should have been released. Although it performed adequately, it is nothing compared to I Will Be.

I wonder if they're considering sending out both Forgive Me and I Will Be? No they are NOT releasing that Gwen Stefani Sweet Escape UK Knockoff called FORGIVE ME. I WILL BE will be the the biggest pop song of 09. Good job Team LeLe! She will get a lil break and then September, the first single from her AMAZING 2nd CD will come out!

I think they're going to delay the U.S. release of the album to Q1 2010, like they did with her first album. Anyways if they do release it everywhere in 09, she won't have time for another single after this.

Awful, awful, awful song drenched in cliche and sappiness. By far my least favorite on the whole CD. It's dreary, dull, and it doesn't go anywhere, and three ballads in a row!? FITS is a better single choice than this, imho. I was really excited about a FM release!!!

BTW, they just did an advert for Spirit Deluxe on TV and the they showed a clip of a new video - and it was for "Run". Sneaky cow did that on the quiet I haven't seen it yet, but apparently its set in a forest.

Doesn't go anywhere? It has a better climax than BIT and even rivals the BL climax IMO. Her voice is STELLAR on this.

I didn't even know Avril sang I Will Be originally. Was it actually on an album?

If that's the case, then this is the last single for the U.S. Now I'm really bummed about TAB, I think it was a mistake for that not to be one of the 3 singles, if they were only going for 3 singles from this era.

Not necessarily, the US still has a lot of single potential. The UK is album saturated, its impossible for any of the original tracks to chart. I expect "Run" to be UK only, it has a lot of hype from the Live Lounge performance.

So mixed opinion overall then I think this will do very well and surprise a few people, cant see it having much longevity though as its not the sort of song that you listen to on repeat.

I know it still has a lot of single potential, but if her sophomore album comes out fall 2009 like Leona has said, then there's no time for anything after this. This will go in January, and probably peak around April. If the new album is out by November of next year, they'd want a first single out around September. So, like I said there's no time for anymore singles from this era in the U.S.
