How do we know this is going to radio?

Sorry to be skeptical, but there have been lots of rumors about Def Leppard's next single, since about Feb of 2003, none of which have actually happened.

Anyway, back to the song, I've heard the cover and it sounds really, really good. It doesn't sound much like the Def Leppard most of us know though.

The first disc looks like a re-release of the international version of "Vault" with the addition of LLWTG. I'm assuming the US release will re-release the US "Vault" as disc one (with perhaps "Promises") and tinker around with disc two a bit.

I've heard a couple clips of this song now, and I'm actually thinking this could do quite well on this format if it gets released.
