There are at least 6 songs on the album that are better single choices than this track, that's why it's receiving all the hate. It's definitely growing on me though, but the video will really decide if I'm sold on this pick or not.

I don't see the hate for song, it doesn't scream hit or anything but I think it'll do way better than everyone's expecting because of "Gives You Hell." I remember when everyone thought that was going to flop too, yeah no. Well the only reason some thought GYH would flop was because it would get lost in the holiday with the heavy hitters. And it did. It was lucky enough to catch on after the holiday craziness was over, even though it had already been out 3 months. But it caught on cause it was an extremely radio friendly song, which most people always said it was. This however is not in the least bit, and that's why everyone hates it as a single. I don't hate it as a song, but as a single it's a terrible choice.

I actually think this is a really pretty song, just not a single.

Agreed. It's not a bad song, it's just a bad choice for a single. Then again, what the hell do I know.

it will be interesting to see how it performed in usa chart...i agree is a beautiful song but the instrument or the sound is really a signature of 80's music.so,whether will it catch people's attention because the lyrics or the melody?we have to wait and see.i really like AAR.hope they have huge success.i remember when kid rock release a summer song last year,i hate it but it peak in top 10.they could have push new kids on the block summertime,it sound more current that kid rock but i dont understand why it flop.so the same goes here.

This will do well on CHR. It will capitalize off the success of GYH just enough to barely establish itself, and then slowly build popularity.

I like the video, it's nice, but it's not the type to get the mainstream sex-crazed stations to play it.
The song sounds more and more single...for winter or something...I just hate that they're wasting away "FALLIN APART"

Yeah I can think this will be equally successful as lets say Fall For You by Secondhand Serenade

This CD is so weird for me... most artists stick their radio-friendly songs at the front of the CD. For me, though, all the good songs come later in the CD. My faves are 'Gives You Hell' (number 4), Breakin' (number 7), Another Heart Calls (number 8), Real World (number 9) and Back to Me (number 10). Breakin' and Another Heart Calls should've been the next two singles IMO. I can't picture anything else being a Pop radio hit.

This song has MANY similarities to Billy Idol's "Eyes Without A Face", a song that went to #4 in 1984, which I believe this song will have a similar run. Either way, I think it is a breath of fresh air to a really annoying POP chart right now, a pretty cool song, and definitely think it had too many similarities to "Early Winter" for Gwen to put it on her last album. Billy Idol, "Eyes Without A Face" www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpmWIyjilQoMy Prediction: #5, 28 wks. in Top 50 CHR\POP #4, 34 wks. in Top 40 Hot AC

My brother just bought the CD because he loves "Gives You Hell". I just listened to the whole CD right now and this is my favorite song on the CD.

I heard this song 3 times in 3 days on Kiss 108. I think this might just end up being a hit now.

I don't like this song, but I want it to do extremely well because of the past few pages.

Been hearing this on Q102 a lot already. I actually don't think it's nearly as bad as most people make it out to be. I'd say Top 20 is possibly - probably peaking within the 12-18 range.

No one is hatin' on this song. It's been disliked as a single, because there are better choices the band and the label could've picked. I want this to become a hit because I love the band, so hopefully this isn't the wrong choice that will ultimately kill the whole era.
It's great to see that this is taking off better than most of their songs did. Q102 add will do good to the song's performance too.
