sooo I just saw the video is being filmed NOW and came on here to complain about how it's way too late. Because I assumed that the song had completely fallen off at radio, it'd been so long I had given up on this whole single lol. Glad to see I was wrong!!!

new years eve? weird but if they (the label) ARE pushing to have a different song be the lead single, the album really does need to be pushed back.

yeah, i wonder if the video isn't happening b/c this was never the single that the label wanted? at this point i'm guessing the second single will be treated like the first single for the album in terms of videos, TV performances, etc. its pretty impressive its gone this far w/o any support other than the song itself and all of her meet and greets

part of it is that most songs lost their bullet over labor day weekend... hopefully this does keep recovering!

ETBD was one of Monica's best performing [and one of her more remembered] releases of the past decade. That preachy snoozefest of a last album she released featured some of the worst material of her career. that's meaningless-- the only other releases to compare it to "in the last decade" as you say are the other releases from MOM, which did awful, the releases from what you just called a "preachy snoozefest", which didn't do well, and the releases from SS. Everything to Me and Love all over Me both blow ETBD way out of the water, in terms of EVERY measure. So your argument is complete wrong.

well I do like that album, but commercially it was awful, and ETBD was her worst single ever.

New Life into Code Red adds evidence to my theory that Mo alternates crap and quality with each album. almost! just the beginning of her career didn't have that pattern IMO (Miss Thang & The Boy Is Mine are both good), but then it did settle into alternating like that... MT - good TBIM - good AEOM - bad ATS - good MOM - bad SS - good NL - bad CR - good (it seems like it will be for sure)

Which is good for THIS, but that sucks for LAOM, because it should have hit #1 across urban formats. This song doesn't touch that. Actually this song isnt even gotten close to touching LAOM, atleast not yet...LAOM went #1 at both urban formats. Top 30 on rhythmic too..So I wouldnt go that far just yet..Now I would say this is about where UIG peaked at Urban.. that's what SINCE means.

yeah looking really good, if this sustains for even just 1-2 weeks more it'll be her biggest hit since "Love all over me"

I just need to see this go top 20 (at Billboard... on any of their charts) and I'll be relieved that this era has done better than the previous...

yes it's true, NYC radio has never been a big Monica supporter, or at least not since the 90s as you said.

How does it make any sense that her voice keeps getting better? Also, I don't know if maybe the video or album version will have that new bridge, or if it's just for live performances, but it was good!

it probably is just for UAC-- personally I think it's better with the rap (which usually isn't true for R&B songs really...) but yeah anyway, helping with UAC is a good idea
