Per Ben's Twitter, the release date of "Second Hand Heart" has been pushed back to October 16th due to "some last minute touches to finish off the record."

I finally got around to buying this album today. I am in love with this album. It may have more ballads than her previous, but it is beautiful. "Tightrope" and "Piece By Piece" are easily my favorite songs on the album. I am not all the way through it, but so far...so good. PXP has many ballads?

Lol! Well, mind you I wasn't through with the rest of the album when I was initially writing this. But, yes, (2,3,5-8 - I believe those are the correct track numbers) are slower, ballad type songs. The latter half has some more upbeat songs, "Nostalgic," "Dance With Me" and the DE tracks too. And, of course there is the up tempo, "Heartbeat Song."

that's true but I wouldn't call I Had A Dream a ballad. Good Goes The Bye and In The Blue are ballads too

Some more info on "Second Hand Heart:"
Ben Haenow has previewed his debut album and it's full of powerhouse pop-rock
"This is essentially my baby shower,β Ben Haenow announced at a mini playback of his album in London this week. Weβre saying mini because we only heard four songs from it, but it was enough to give us a good flavour of the full 14-track album.
βThat could have all been very awkward,β he told us afterwards. βIβve poured my heart and soul into this, so revealing it to a room full of journalists was a pretty daunting prospect.β
For those in need of a recap: Ben won last yearβs X Factor, and as is now standard practice, has spent the last 10 months co-writing and recording his debut album just in time for next series' live shows.
βI ended up recording 60 songs for this album, and whittling them down to just 14 has been very hard,β he assured us, adding that he βwanted to be as involved as he couldβ in the making of the record. So how is the album shaping up? Hereβs what you can expect:
Second Hand Heart
Opting for a duet as your lead single is a risky strategy, especially when youβre duetting with a powerhouse vocalist like Kelly Clarkson β or in Benβs case, actual Kelly Clarkson herself. βShe was an absolute angel,β Ben said of their first meeting. βSheβs so down to earth, and for someone who has had so much success, she made me feel really comfortable in the studio β except when she would do everything in literally one take!β
The track itself was originally a solo song with a country twang but has been beefed up in both tempo and production since Kelly came on board. βI might drink too much, stay out too lateβ¦ I canβt steal you the stars but I can try every day,β they sing, playing a doomed couple still in love with each other. The result sounded like Olly Murs and Demi Lovatoβs Up meets One Republicβs I Lived.
Source
The song is also available for pre-order on iTunes.

Thank you Focus!
It looks like the issue is with only certain forums. Survivor Sucks is working just fine.

I like it. Has a One Direction sound to it which should bode well for its radio chances. Not thrilled with how Kelly sang her verse, I wish she had stuck to the way Ben sang his verse, the changes on the ends of the lines is just jarring after hearing it from Ben first. I will get used to it and forget about this after 5 listens.

I LOVE THIS. It's catchy, it's fun, super radio-friendly, and they sound really good together.

I've been listening to Piece By Piece the song a bit lately and I really think it's one of the best Kelly has recorded and it's a shame it wasn't released in some capacity. I can't imagine what it must have felt like to actually write and record it though. I can't relate to the lyrics but I can feel them when I listen to it, to basically call out a parent for being a shitty parent can probably be pretty hard to do.

It's honestly taken "Maybe"'s place as my favorite Kelly song of all time. Everything about it is perfect.

I really like how both of their voices sound on the song (although I'm not entirely convinced they actually mesh) - these vocals are exactly the reason this woman is still popular a decade and a half into her career.

A little overproduced but it's goddamn catchy. It faces tough competition in the charts right now, but it should do well.

Not sure of the legitimacy of this article, but it appears Ben Haenow has been picked up by RCA in the US, so it looks like "Second Hand Heart" will get a release in the US at some point and hopefully soon. Could be why no third single was released from Piece by Piece (among other factors as well).

Absolutely loving this. Whistling the chorus after one listen. So catchy and a tremendous pop song.
