First single from Kris' debut album. It will officially be released end of the month. Snippet played on a radio station earlier:
ETA: Changed the video with a better version.

Something cliche was to be expected.
EDIT: I should say recycled and cliche.

Hmmm based on the snippet I don't see a CHR hit, but it could get a decent peak off of Idol winner hype since it's slightly radio-friendly (see: Light On). I could see it doing well on HAC/AC, too.
It sounds okay. I have to hear the whole thing.

He has Jive on his side though and we all know that Jive is a whole lot smarter and better with pushing Pop singles than RCA. I'm not sure if there will be changes but here's the original version by the Script (it was a B side to their EP) - www.youtube.com/watch?v=unzBo3m5N2I

Yo Kris I realize you're trying to live like you were dying but Tim already had dis theme and produced one of the best country songs of all time....
Should be interesting.

Well, RCA did pretty well with Light On I think. That song didn't sound like a top 20 pop song, but they got it there...just barely, but they did it lol.
I see this performing similarly, but again I'll have to hear it in full to really judge it.

Better quality of the snippet: It sounds very radio friendly and like it plays to Kris' strengths. It almost reminds me of his version of Heartless. This could be a big hit for him.

Not impressed by the clip. Won't judge until I hear the full track, though.

It reminds me of I'm Your's some what...could be big I guess..or could at least go top 20.
I like it, but without hearing the full thing it could change.

I'd say bottom of the top 10. Decent from the clip, I wanted more though.

Its almost like part rap lol. I like it. Reminds of Heartless's verses and I think this will actually do well judging from the snippet.

Very Mraz-ish sounding from the clip. More early Mraz though. We'll see how it sounds in full.

Sounds good. I was expecting a bit more, but based on the clip this isn't bad.

It would not sound out of place on a Mraz or OneRepublic album. Very catchy and like I said earlier it plays to Kris' strenghts. He has a fantastic recording voice and I really hope that he does well.

Underwhelming. And I hate that his first single is a cover.

^Yeah, I have to admit, that's kind of lame. Even though people probably won't know it's a cover, your first single should really be something original IMO, especially coming off of Idol where all you do is perform covers.

Bye bye, Kris. I was hoping he would be some kind of a superstar after Idol, but I can kiss that goodbye. This will probably make top 20 on CHR, but not do a THING on the Hot 100. I somehow thought he would have written his first single; I know I would've.

This DEFINITELY sounds like early-Jason Mraz! It's really cheesy... specially that '85 000 seconds' or whatever-it-is line, but his voice sounds amazing... I can see this being a surpise hit, but not a smash... hopefully he brings it with a better second single

I have been disappointed in every single released by every artist I was curious or excited about in the past few weeks. I wonder if I am just cranky and it is not really the artists' faults Though, maybe the full clear version will be better.

Here is their full version: are u kidding me...i listen some the script songs before,not quite a fan for them but their song"the man who cant be moved"is my favourite track from them.other than that,this song(i mean the script version) is my second favourite now. ok i am sad that this is not really totally kris allen work.i thought he worked with many producers...by listen to the kris snippet version,i love the hook and it sounds good for kris but hello i want to hear something come out from kris allen brain....i really hate the company.music company this day are stupid...
