They deserve one last huge hit. Hopefully someday they'll get it.

OMG, i love it! I don't understand all the bad feeback. I think this is much stronger than Helpless and also Iconsolable. Maybe I'm wearing rose-tinded shades? Because i think it's reall nice and catchy!

Yah, Straight Through My Heart isn't that bad and wouldn't sound out of place on radio.

Have you guys heard the entire song? I just heard a beyond horrible for a lead single 30 second clip that looped. The full song maybe will sound modern and have hit potential?

Funny. If the song was song by some random girl, you'd all be loving it. Anyway, this is a great song, reminds me of their 90s stuff. That's always a good thing.

It's not the best of the new songs I have heard, but it sounds like it could be a hit. I hope so. It would be great to hear some of their new stuff on radio.

I think it sounds promising - I would be thrilled if they got their first top 10 in 4 years.

Oh no, they're trying to get in on the whole Gaga dance front too. The result is a dated boyband song with a generic dance beat tacked on. No chance in hell this will be a hit.

To me the only good songs they've done since their Greatest Hits album have been Incomplete and Crawling Back To You. They desperately need to hang it up. If they do well touring internationally, they the can keep on doing that, but stop making new music!

May be they think BSB is a good platform for spring boarding as solo artists. Keeping BSB as a side project is a shrewd business tactic. But do not write off their album yet. I have heard some very strong songs. PDA, Helpless, Dont try this at Home, Bye Bye love etc. They have chosen the safest song. May be it would be received well? who knows? With Radio at the state it is...

That's always a good thing. but its not by some random girl. its by an outdated boy group from the last decade. Thats the point. everything has context

But this is way better than stuff they have been releasing for the last two albums They have songs produced by Redone, who did GaGa's three singles. It's his sound, not hers. GaGa didn't even synthpop or dance-pop. Can we please stop acting like she did...Even Rihanna had some dance-pop hits before GaGa's in the US.

She was a DJ underground and performed this same genre. I saw her way back when and didnt really like her lol but she was doing it before with Starlight. Its not completely Redone's sound. Once again, it is not like she came out of nowhere. She has been working the music scene for a long time. Redone production does not mean anything if the artist does not already believe in the sound.

I don't think radio wants to touch them with a 10 ft pole. The only way for them to get good airplay is to release a true SMASH. This isn't it. Not even close.

I really liked it!! :) It's very catchy!!! ;) and they are not copying Lady gaga, if you remember they made dance music popular in the 90s, before Lady gaga! 'one' 'it's gotta be you.' 'everybody backstreet back." all that kind of music was pop/dance/electronic. I hope radio supports this legendary band, they have sold millions of records, and without making controvercies. Go BSB!!! :)

It's all right. Nothing too horrible about it, but nothing about it is amazing either.
It sort of reminds me of V Factory's "Love Struck", which is so much better than this.

The obvious cheese-factor is there (being it's by a boyband) but it's surprisingly tolerable. I might even say that I like it.
It sounds more like Enrique's "Taking Back My Love" than any of Gaga's stuff.

I wouldn't walk away from making millions either. Their tours still do well worldwide. You'd be surprised at the amount of units they still sell internationally. Even the last few albums have done quite well, so I'm not surprised they're still churning them out.
