Her fourth single is going to be going against another song written by her but not performed by her (I Do Not Hook Up). That should be really interesting to watch. lol Haha, it will.

I was excited when they picked this as 3rd, but I guess looking back they should have waited for after WUIV. WUIV would have been a nice transition track in between the very different styles of IKAG/HNC and TOY.

And to think they were gonna release this as the first single, lmao. I mean it's not bad and it could do well and if it got lucky I could totally be one of those hit ballads but it's pretty risky for the style she's built so far in the industry. I still see this doing good somewhere, though. They should just skip this single and release Waking Up In Vegas soon in the important countries.

Even though this is her best song IMO, I can see why it didn't do well. It's too much of a jump from IKAG and HNC and it's not radio-friendly enough to get past that obstacle. It would've worked better as a 4th single after WUIV and also wouldn't have hurt her momentum as much as it did as the 3rd single. Although I'm sure she could still get another hit this has definitely killed some of the momentum she had going off of IKAG & HNC.

This didn't really flop, but it did underperform. It's peak is decent, but what makes it flop-ish is the fact that it's run only lasted like a month. It was the definition of "quick rise, quick fall".

I'm all for 'Mannequin' to finish this era off. It makes a nice transition from this. It'd be perfect.

I would love Mannequin or Fingerprints as a single. I know the latter was being used to promote a TV show.

I wonder if this did poorly enough to warrant a rerelease...probably not, it was big enough in some of the big markets they probably wouldn't put it on high rotation again.
Such a shame. This will always be the song I remember most from this album.

This really should've done better...I think it would've fared better as the 4th single after WUIV.

It seems like there's a few songs on some sort of death-list, because they just inexplicably died in a big way -- not just peakage, more like an absolute spin rupture. It started a while ago with Single Ladies, and then I Hate This Part, I Will Be and Untouched joined it on the uber-descent. Looks like this is joining their ranks.
