I love this song! Great choice and I see it going Top 20 with a slow climb.
Oh and Kris looks sooooo damn hot on the single cover. :)

While Kris runs circles vocally around Pat in this, and I much prefer all Kris to this, I just listened to it again trying to imagine hearing it on the radio and I have to say it seems like it has hit potential. It's kind of like the "Chasing Cars" of it's time, or the ____ it's just different enough from the current trend, Bieber/Gaga/Kesha that there's room for it.

^ Oh there's room for it if its given a chance but it will have to smash at HAC first imo. And Kris will have to have the performance of his life on idol to help jump start this a little bit. Ita with Felecia though if this is anything resembling a hit its gonna be another sloooow one like llwd. And I was hoping his second single would climb faster but that's not going to happen with this song lol.
I hope the video is really powerful and emotional, this song is gonna need all the help it can get in all areas.

They should've just sent BWCU to pop and this to HAC. Even if neither got videos or much promo, that would be a better strategy. Sending this to pop is just such a waste. This is one of the 4 songs from his album I like though.

I like this song but most people here think it'll fail. I could easily see it going Top 10 on HAC. Pop is a whole other thing though. I'm just not sure how much promo Jive is going to pump into this. Jive has to be losing $ with Allison and not making all that much with Kris. Not a good Idol season for them. Well you actually have to spend money to make money. Sometimes I think that Jive just wants the money to fall into their laps.

Remember how they said Kris would be tweeting the new single? Surprise! It's The Truth!
@krisallen - The new single "The Truth" is out everyone so call in to your local radio stations and request. Thanks to the ones that already have.

The song got 9 HAC adds this week.
If they are really relesing this to CHR, they should at least wait til this song starts doing something on HAC first, it could be a little push to pop radios.

music-mix.ew.com/2010/05/05/kris-allen-the-truth-pat-monahan-train/EW: Let’s talk about your new single, “The Truth.” The album version of the song contains your vocals only. Now it’s been re-recorded as a duet of sorts with Train’s Pat Monahan (who co-wrote the song with Toby Gad). How did that come about?Kris Allen: It came about through an idea from the label. Their idea was that Pat wrote the song, so why not get him involved in it in some way. And obviously Train is doing really well right now, and I don’t think that can be ignored. Everyone thought it was a good idea. In an ideal world, would you have added the Pat Monahan vocals to the record?It never even crossed my mind to do that. So it wouldn’t have happened in my mind. It wasn’t that type of song where you say, “We need someone else on this.” Now that it’s done, I hope it does really well, man. I really do. A lot of people were saying David Cook’s album — the label did not go with the David Cook-penned singles to launch the album. And now we’re seeing that happening with you. You wrote or co-wrote the bulk of the album, but the first two singles were not ones you had a hand in writing. Are you going to stamp your feet if the third single doesn’t turn out to be a Kris Allen co-write? Or is it a case of “whatever works at radio”?It’s a little of both, I guess. That said, the only other option on the album [where that scenario could play out] is “Written All Over My Face,” and I really don’t think [that's likely]. I was part of the writing process on every other song on the album [except "Live Like We're Dying," "The Truth," and "Written All Over My Face"]. So yeah, I think it’s a really, really, really good chance the next single will be something I had a hand in writing. [Laughs.]

I think it's really, really optimistic to even assume there will be a single after this.

I think 9 adds prior to the adds date is pretty good.

^Not on HAC. HAC is a format that tends to embrace their new adds more easily than pop, especially for an artist like Kris. So, it'd be good if it had like 15 adds, but 9 isn't. we're gonna have to wait till next week's adds to see if this song is going somewhere.

I think 9 adds prior to the adds date is pretty good. It was post adds date, not prior, and I think it's okay, neither good nor bad.

[Laughs.] in my opinion,if the label release AWM then before we come undone and finally live like we're dying,kris would have done well and not require pat remake on the truth that actually done nothing to that song. also,i just dont get why cant the label release something decent like songs co wrote by kris or in david cook case too? i doubt they will release 3rd single but if they do,i believe they will pick written all over my face instead. i love you kris and glad that you are thinking like us/the fans but sad that the epic fail on the label's disastrous decisions.

I don't think 9 is bad for HAC. Now if next week it gets 0....then it's bad.
