This is their weakest single yet...and that's really saying something. I can't even imagine this going top 20. There is nothing catchy about it. At least "Let Me Go" was kind of catchy. I think their days are numbered at all of their original formats (Alternative, Rock, Pop, Hot AC). They might as well try to move on to Country.

This song sounds so much like their other singles that it's hard for me to see it doing much. They need to update their music more than that.

I agree with you both. This is the weakest lead single they've had to date. If this is the best promotional song on the album then its going to be a very bad year for 3DD.

This is sad because they WERE one of my favorite bands. But yeah I agree, I hear nothing special with this song. I like the intro though, that's it. The chorus is so bland. I still wish them luck!

I don't think this is their official lead single.

I don't think so either. If it was, this song would be blowing up on the rock formats already. I know most of the Hot AC ppl don't seem to like it (from what I'm reading) but this song is a pure in your face hard rocker in the vein of earlier singles like "Duck And Run" that are not meant for a Hot AC audience. There is no discussion for this song in the alternative/rock forum as it's not a single, but I have a feeling that active rock would eat this up, and as that is my core format, I absolutely love this song. And I think it would be a stellar move by 3 doors down to release this as a single (they won't) because it would firm their image as a rock act that can go hot ac (like nickelback) instead of being perceived as a band that has abandoned rock (like lifehouse). They need something harder as their first single that may or may not cross over, and then they release a single in the vein of "Be Like That" or "Here Without You" after that. That would seem the optimal route for them to take as far as maintaining their strength on all their formats.

^Yeah agree big time...except many major markets don't have Active Rock stations, so they've gotta hit Alternative IMO to get back on the "rock" scene, and then cross back over to CHR/HAC etc.
The Lifehouse thing is weird though IMO...can't see how "Hanging By A Moment" is considered Rock/Alternative (or was), but "First Time" isn't - or why many Alternative stations will play "Here Without You" but not "You And Me"
