Fourth single from their self-titled debut. Perhaps a little too poppy to make any major damage on Active, especially after "A Familiar Taste of Poison" failed to pass the top 30.
Goes for adds November 16th.

Wasn't this rumored to be their first pop single from this album a couple of months ago?

I seem to recall a thread being made in CHR section, so that would suggest so.

I can't see this doing anything either on Alternative, but on Pop it's a possibility.

one of the finest songs of the album, but i have to agree that it fits better on CHR

Her vocals sound so "Pop" in this one, unusually so in comparision to the rest of the album. The chorus actually sounds very similiar to Kelly Clarkson. I would have gone for the hard rocker "Dirty Work" for more possible success on Active.

Pretty good start despite the peak of the previous single.

Didn't think it would increase this much after the performance of their last single.  Not a fan of their stuff though. |

I don't think this is the right format for them to be pushing this song primarily. They need to get it pushed to Mainstream Top 40 as soon as possible, and bank on a late spring/summer crossover hit waiting to happen. This is the song that can really make them and offer them greater name visibility. Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus |

Yeah, I'm just listening to it now on YouTube and I can definitely hear that. They really should.
