Yea except this doesn't have any swag to it, like London Bridge or Hollaback Girl. This is just a bad rendition of a song that is supposed to make it big, but it falls flat. At least London Bridge was catchy. This is just pandering to to the point where she might as well say "please listen to this a million times and I promise you it will sound catchy after that."

I guess it's all subjective at one point. I was never a fan of LB. I liked it more after a few listens but it didn't have replay value to me and it's the worst performing single from The Dutchess in my personal chart, bar Finally (which didn't rank).
I find the second part of the chorus quite catchy and it got stuck with me after the first listen. The la la las are good enough too. They could've been better if shorter. They remind me a lot of African music so that's a good worldly element of the song to me.
Most likely this won't be a big hit but I think it could be a good way to re-introduce her. It'll boil down to promo: performance, video and maybe TV adds. We shall see :)

This would have been an ideal May or June release.

This is just so good! Love it! All my friends who heard it on the radio love it! It's such a jam in the car esp.

This and Chandelier are my fav pop song this year so far.

[Hussy]

surprised that this is getting big updates on the radio while its sales are abysmal !!!

will they release a video soon?

[👑 Eloquent ™]

This was a grower for me. From "lundunnn".

La la la la la.

[maine]

This is starting to grow on me. The chorus isn't that great with the random city callouts (the 'la la la la la' part is catchy af though). Other than that, I dig it.

She's been gone for so long, I really wish she had come harder than this. Something AMAZING out of the gate. This is cute, but that's it.

[Live Your Life]

Are they going to start promoting this, or.....?

Lalalala Quezon City to Manila lalalala

[darko95]

I really like this song a lot.

It's weird Interscope is not making a bigger deal over her return...looks like Gwen's single will drop with no fanfare either next week as well.

Maybe they are not sure how to market both projects yet and just wanted to get something out there and the real promotion will roll in later this year? I know both artists have been gone for quite some time but they are still big celebrities with huge name recognition that the label should be leveraging more and getting them big high profile promotional opportunities to launch their respective comebacks.

[jma]

I like this song a lot more now bc She name drops Quebec in the first verse

[Live Your Life]

Lyric video three weeks after the premiere? What the hell are they doing?

Gwen has The Voice so I doubt they are going to have an issue promoting her project. I expect a big push for her from Interscope.

Trying to keep it from falling off the chart because it's sales have sucked. They need the streaming points to compensate for the sales drop off. This way they don't both fall off simultaneously.

They will likely have Gwen perform on The Voice later this season when the live shows return but that is still weeks away. As of now her single drops Monday and there is no promo planned at all. Gwen has yet to even acknowledge the song's existence. So for the initial few weeks Gwen is likely going to be in the same boat as Fergie unless promo gets announced between now and Monday.

How do you know no promo is planned? Do you work for Interscope?

How do you know a big push is planned? I can only go by what has been announced so far (which is nothing) but please feel free to prove me wrong ;)

Not everybody is going to get a Taylor Swift sized push so we need to bring our heads from the clouds and into reality.
