Track #5 on her debut album "Expectations" I love the production on this as well as the chorus and lyrics

I liked a decent amount of BeBe's latest release and this song was one if not my favorite out of the new tracks. Doesn't really sound like anything that she's released before or from what I have heard. I think the chorus is pretty catchy. I could see Hot AC liking this and hopefully Top 40 if she ever decided to release it.

iTunes #45.
Might be the next "Meant to Be" for her? (MTB automatically blew up on iTunes and forced Bebe to scrap the initially intended single "(Not) The One")

This sounds like a much more natural progression from “Meant To Be” than “I’m A Mess”. I feel like the same people who loved MTB would love this.

For most of the public, who has no idea who she is, this would have been a better follow up. For her fans, I'm a Mess or Self Control are much more classic Bebe.
Great song but not as good as Pray :)

Also, there's this very nice (radio-friendly) unofficial remix.

Perfect if they begin this at the start of the new year. I can see this one really taking off and at minimum performing like I'm A Mess.

I don't know why they didn't do anything with this. I know it's supposed to be because she has new music coming and wants to focus on "Say My Name" but her album had a couple of more potential singles on it in my opinion. I'm sure there's probably a decent amount of people that don't even know or haven't even checked out her current cd yet. It's probably only stale to her fans.

She deleted the Instagram post but not yet her twitters saying this will be the first AND last TV performance of "Knees".
I've heard rumor saying her new single next year is for an EP consisting of unreleased songs for Expectations, which means it would be in lieu of a repackage kind of thing?
Hopefully after that "Knees" (AND "SELF CONTROL" - JESUS!) will get to see the light of day.

Finally I feel like a performance of hers was art directed. From the mic to the lights to the backup people's outfits, it was all one cohesive vision.
This is how EVERY performance and EVERY tactic for an album campaign should feel. They knocked it out of the park and let her vocals shine. Stellar.
