Vevo has official audio, but I am on mobile so of someone could help me out that would be sweet!!
Production is very simple and she sounds amazing and exactly the same as she did live. Very impressive on all accounts.

Unbelievable song! I've been playing this non-stop for weeks. Mickey's got an incredible voice and this song highlights that perfectly.
This also just seems like a perfect debut single for her. It's an empowering song with a traditional sound, but it also seems radio-friendly enough to work in today's country climate. I predicted a Top 10 peak in my 2015 predictions, but I'm hoping for a little better than that. I think this could be a dark horse smash #1 next year, and I can't wait to watch Mickey's career take off.

Wow. I listened to this back in September when this thread started, and while I enjoyed it, I didn't love it. Just listened again and I was blown away. This is just a great song. Great lyrics and a great voice. Could Mickey be the one who replaces Taylor on country radio? (Sad that the only way a female can get on radio is another one leaving the genre).

As much as I am obsessed with this song and wish Mickey the most success, I'd rather Taylor's spot on country radio go to Kacey Musgraves.

The video for this premiered on CMT today. Mickey posted a video on her Instagram of her watching it with friends and getting a bit emotional. I can't seem to find it online though. :(

I can't seem to find it online though. :( Based on the way she worded it, I don't believe it was actually premiered to the GP yet and shown on their TV channel. Rather, I gather that Mickey was watching the finished product for the first time ahead of its official release. ETA: I had a dream last night where Mickey came out on the CMAs and performed this and she absolutely killed it. Would be lovely to see that dream come true.

I've been rooting for her every since I met her years ago when she was working on a Pop/R&B album. I hope she finally finds success in Country; she's a very sweet and deserving individual.

I read on Instagram that she got 2 standing ovations during her Opry debut last night. Very excited to see how this does on the charts, and I'd love to find video of her performances last night.

The Grand Ole Opry regularly posts videos on their YouTube channel, and I imagine that at least her performance of "Better Than You Left Me" will end up on there, eventually.

Whoa, I called it in the poll, but I never could have imagined 79 adds. Looks like radio was ready for Mickey.

Holy frick. I was thinking 50-55 at most, with a slight chance at 60...and even those numbers are a TON of adds for a brand new artist. But 79!? :O

But 79!? :O 50 is the number I was hoping for and the most realistic. I literally did a triple take to make sure the number was correct - I was that blown away. My hats off to Capitol Nashville for they're handling of Mickey's debut single.

My hats off to Capitol Nashville for their handling of Mickey's debut single. Given how she got standing ovations at CRS the past TWO years, it doesn't surprise me at all that she'd get a great start out of the gate. Especially with this song. The extensive radio tour didn't hurt either.

Amazing, incredible start for what should be a healthy and lively career for her. Mickey Guyton's the real deal and this song is great. I'm really happy about the direction this is headed in.

If there is even an ounce of fairness left on Country radio, Mickey will be the first female Country artist to sustain a growing career since Miranda. This is one of the best debut female singles since Carrie! The 79 adds? Wow!
