I love this song, I really do. But... I can’t help but feel like “Fire Escape,” “Track Record, or “Dark Bars” would’ve been bolder and edgier choices. I’d love to see any of those join her catalog of radio singles.
Rooting for this one/ML always.

This definitely wouldn't have been my choice. "Mess With My Head", "Too Pretty For Prison", "Track Record" and "Fire Escape" all would have been better choices, imo.
That being said, this song is great as is Miranda, and I hope it can continue the momentum and radio goodwill that "Bluebird" built up for her.

I’d love to see any of those join her catalog of radio singles. Rooting for this one/ML always. All of this post. I especially would've gone for "Fire Escape" and followed it up with "Track Record" to close things out this era. In any case though, I love the artwork for "Settling Down" (what an aesthetically pleasant and pleasing era this has been!!), I love the song, and I am always for Miranda receiving a hit.

Everyone seems to have different singles choices, which is good I guess. A lot of fans wanted TD or Bars, but Sony is playing it way safe this album. Pretty sure Miranda hasn't picked any of the singles, minus Bluebird.

This song is a GREAT album track, but I wish it would remain an album track. Tequila Does would’ve been a guaranteed smash as a follow up to Bluebird.

I'm not as up to speed on full albums these days, and I've only listened through Wildcard once all the way through, but I love this song and don't mind it as a radio single. It's a mid-tempo (which "Bluebird" was, maybe even a ballad) but I think there's enough tempo in there to not hinder it and my goodness, the chorus melody is phenomenal. It gets stuck in my head so easy and I love the lyrics. Great use of the dobro, too!
Hopeful the success of "Bluebird" means "Settling Down" will do well.

I'm curious about how Sony handles promo for SD while they need to keep Bluebird in the forefront for the awards campaigns. As of impact date there has been no mention of SD on any of Miranda's official accounts, unless you're following radio stuff on twitter her you wouldn't even know!

Most added song with 40 adds which is a solid start for this song. Don't know if it will hit #1 but the start is encouraging

Miranda provides a beautifully produced behind-the-scenes look at the making of Wildcard.

Hoping that Top 50 debut means great things for this song! It'd be a shame if "Bluebird" was just a fluke, although I don't think there's too big a chance of that happening as Miranda seems to have gained a ton of momentum thanks to that song.

Seems like this one is off to an even better start than "Bluebird" already, which is incredible. I had a feeling the more I listened to this one that they probably made a wise decision picking this one.

I had a feeling the more I listened to this one that they probably made a wise decision picking this one. I was gonna say, Bluebird was released at a weird time in December but I'm still surprised this one is doing better out of the gate. And I'm still not seeing any promo besides the small aircheck ads... Trey commented there would be a video so hopefully this one doesn't take as long to get out as the Bluebird one did.

That is the promo that they have shown so far, and that’s typical and nothing unusual for a new single. Her radio team is doing a lot of behind the scenes work/promo that we don’t/won’t see. More promo like music videos and live performances will come later in the chart run. The important thing to note is this is off to an amazing start and her team is actively promoting it to terrestrial radio and right now there is nothing to worry about. I’m so excited to turn this song up in my car soon!!!

Glad to hear it, I'm more so surprised her team hasn't even put it on her IG at all, since bluebird was announced in a post after wash was pulled but whatever, I'm probably just used to seeing all the other girls constantly promote their singles 24/7 and miranda isn't big on socials anyway, so I gotta stop expecting it :)

Yeah, no, I don’t revisit this one at all. It’s a pleasant listen within the context of the album but I’m totally underwhelmed by it as a single; hoping it’s a hit nonetheless so they can hopefully make a more exciting choice for the fourth single!

Her team does an abysmal job with her twitter account and I don't think she's been on it since 2018.

It's encouraging that "Settling Down" is charting on iTunes already (albeit below #1000). This hopefully means that its sales will gain steadily as it rises in airplay, which it is also doing decently in so far.

Omg she looks STUNNING in that clip from the video. Her outfit + the horse give me strong fairytale vibes and I am very excited to see the video treatment because it looks like it will be beautifully shot.

taylor yeah, based on her IG posts, it looks like he's playing her love interest in the video. Think after seeing the direction they're going in for the video, I think this was probably a song Miranda wanted as a single to fully flex her newfound happiness. I get the feeling that this song must be pretty special to her.

Absolutely love that music video. It's a great way to keep everyone else safe during the pandemic by just having it be them and the horse and dog. Love the looks and outfits Miranda gave and the shots of her and that horse were great as well. Loved the appearance of the puppy...and her husband, in the most respectful way I can say this, is really really really really handsome. Whew. What a lucky woman Miranda is to have found a man like him. You can see their love in their eyes and it's beautiful.
