They've waited too long. This should have been sent for ads the second "I'm Yours" peaked. Agreed. Still, for the life of me, I can't figure out why this song hasn't taken off at pop radio.

^Cause it's one of the most boring songs ever recorded. Ohhhhh, so true. I think I'd rip my skin off if I was exposed to this song for a prolonged period. I like Jason Mraz, and there's nothing saying he can't try something new, but this is too bland.

Looks like this is done and they're closing shop on it, how far did it get? :(
RateTheMusic has a survey up for the next single I assume, and the options are Make It Mine, Dynamo In Volition, and Love For A Child.
I voted Love For A Child, but I'd love Make It Mine too.

I'm surprised this never took off on Pop radio, especially after how huge "I'm Yours" was.

I'm not surprised, this song is really boring in comparison to I'm Yours, it wasn't that radio friendly. Though this song I can't say was a hit, but it performed decent. Even though it wasn't at top, it maintained itself around the same position for a while, hence the 1 million downloads (btw, didn't know it had that much).

If this couldn't chart, nothing else on his album will.

Lucky was the standout from the album for me, after I'm Yours.
I don't think that anything else on the album is CHR friendly, especially in the current climate. HAC will eat up the rest of it, though.

HAC will eat up the rest of it, though. I think Make it Mine and The Dynamo of Volition would be good next singles, Butterfly can be a single too, but I don't like it as much as the other two. They're not that CHR friendly, but they make the cut IMO and it's an upgrade in CHR terms compared to Lucky. Plus, he doesn't need to go that high in airplay, a top 25 or top 20 would be good and then doing great in HAC and he is good when it comes to downloads, that would pretty much even it out and give him a decent hit.

Well, Rate the music had a survey just a couple weeks ago and it had Make it Mine, Dynamo, and Love For A Child on it.
Love for a child is my favorite song on the album. CHR hasn't had a slow singer-songwriter song on it lately but I don't know how it would received by non Mraz fans.

Love for a Child is good, and it's relatable, but I don't think that the slow almost country sound would help anything.
Dynamo is the strangest song, but I expect this kind of stuff from Mraz. It's catchy as can be, though. Make It Mine was already released at HAC, I believe, but that doesn't mean that CHR can't have a turn.

True it does have the twang thats not very CHR.
But I would really like for them to show that deeper side of Mraz. He's such a great songwriter but, just from his singles, you wouldn't really know that.

Love for a Child won't work at all. Dynamo was released to HAC? Did it do any good? Like I said my money is on Dynamo of Volition or Make it Mine.

No, Make it Mine was sent to HAC.
It flopped.

I like the song but I'm not surprised it didn't catch on at CHR/Pop... too soft and Colbie Caillat's popularity was already waning. I also agree they waited too long, but it was already unexpected that "I'm Yours" got so much play and the CHR "quota" for this type of song had already been filled.

I honestly don't think anything on this album can follow I'm Yours if Lucky can't. Mr. A-Z had tons of potential hits, and this album just didn't.

It's funny. There is a station here in Brazil that plays Make It Mine and Dynamo all the time and it gets me confused cause I don't know what's his next single is, and now I'm starting to hear Lucky too. Anyway, both Make It Mine and Dynamo sound REALLY good on the radio, surprisingly, cause I didn't think he had any radio-friendly singles left. So they would all make great radio singles IMO. They should focus on Hot AC and see if CHR catches on. Whatever they choose, it's fine by me. Coyotes is my favorite though.

I had forgotten all about Coyotes! I think that Coyotes could be CHR friendly if timed correctly and luck is in Mr A-Z's cards.

Coyotes??? what? i don't think so. lol
I think Make it Mine, If It Kills Me, Live High or Love For a child are much better choices

If It Kills Me could have a creative video if done right. Make It Mine already has a video, according to Wikipedia. I've never actually looked at it. Live High is kind of boring, and the gospel choir is a turn off for me. Love For A Child could be a big HAC/AC possibly a small Country hit, if done correctly.

This was the only other hit on the record. 'Coyotes' and 'Butterfly' are wonderful tracks though.

My local CHR still spins this. Not as often as they used to, but they still do.
