I don't know if it's been "confirmed" by anyone, but this has received about 3 or 4 adds on Pop in the last few days, which makes me believe it's their next single. They're taking a risk with this one - it's very experimental and maybe even a little dated-sounding. I guess you can compare it to "It Ends Tonight", but as the follow-up to the monster that is "Gives You Hell", I'm not sure it works.
If you want to move this to Non-Singles, you can until or if there's an official confirmation.

If this is true, I think it's a bad move.

This would be a super smash if Timbaland had produced it. It sounds like somebody went for his style but ended up with some 80s elevator music background instead.

I like this song -- then again I like every song on their album -- but this is not a good single choice. "I Wanna" should be next, unless they want a slower song in which case it should be "Mona Lisa" or "Another Heart Calls."

It sounds like it should be in the score for a John Hughes 80s movie but I like it. You know this was written for Gwen Stefani initially, right?

Hells to the no if this is next. Talk about flop potential. Fallin' Apart or Damn Girl are their safest bet, hence what they should be going with.

It has 8 spins, come on.
There is no way they're going to release this album filler garbage as the next single.
IN.

The song can have 50 spins, but that does not mean it has an adds date.

This isn't terrible. It's not really catchy though. I see it doing better than everyone thinks though seeing how well "Gives You Hell" did.

I pulled this up on Youtube. I stopped it after 3:10 when I realized I'd been tuning it out for at least a minute, then tuned back in and couldn't even remember what I'd put on for a few seconds. It's not awful, but it's not terribly engaging on first listen.

It's an OK song -- should be like a 4th or 5th single.

I'm betting this has a chart run similar to 'It's Over' by Jesse McCartney, just because it's a weak follow-up to a surprise #1 hit. This song is not radio-friendly at all.

Shocked about it but I think it's one of their best written songs anyway.

They have to be doing this on purpose. Like when Alanis intentionally released a non commercial follow up to Jagged Little Pill just to show she could be "artistic" too. There's no other explanation for why this would be chosen over almost every other song on the album that has x amount more radio potential. Sad thing is, this will likely kill what could have been a very successful era for them.

"I Wanna" is a perfect summer smash. Ughh. This is a terrible choice.
