Looks like this will be the next single from Motion in Australia since it's requested in the radio stations there. Also, it's currently inside the Top 100 on iTunes there

Definitely one of the standouts among the album. Probably in the Top 5 for me.

Next single from "Motion". He's currently shooting the video for it now. Great song. Could be the perfect song to help HAIM become even bigger before their second album arrives.

I hope this gets a US release too. This song is too damn good to just get an international release.

This is an excellent song from the new album! I like HAIM on their own, but I enjoy their music when it's remixed or Dance-oriented like this.
This needs to be the next U.S. single.

Looks like this will be released officially in the UK on March 8 according to Music Week. I'm expecting a digital EP remix package comes out as well in that week to boost the sales, although if it's considered that there's still no one for "Outside", I don't have my hopes very high on that though.
Anyway, it climbs to #26 in Australia and it's currently at #11 on iTunes there. It reached the Top 10 a couple of days ago, so I hope it could climb back again. Also, it's climbing on the New Zealand iTunes store and it's inside the Top 100 there.

I can't take this perfection and yes, I agree that Australia is always ahead of the curve. For example, when I was there back in April of 2014, Trumpets by Jason Derulo was already old, LOL.

Looks like the music video will be unveiled on February 9, according to a report from Idolator. However, they are mentionting a press release, which I can't find anywhere Anyway, it was revealed that "Pray to God" will be chosen as the Track of the Day on BBC Radio 1 on January 30, so this plus being playlisted by them since next week will give a boost until the music video is released. Having said that, it's currently at #1397 on the UK iTunes, so let's see what happens since tomorrow there.

More than a bit underwhelming, but I still love this song. I hope it's massive.

I'm underwhelmed, but that may be because of my high expectations. It's cute. Is it me, or the font is very AHS-like? :'D As for the song, I still think it's the standout of the album and am praying for it to be a huge hit.

it felt like it was leading up to something with them standing there and animals coming in, and then the instrumental kicks in and.. they're still standing there. lol great song though, my favorite since sweet nothing.

You're underwhelmed simply because it's underwhelming. Not what I was hoping for at all for what is clearly one of the supreme tracks off this album. Not to mention the lack of Calvin in the video is simply unacceptable.
