Lead radio single from Kacey Musgraves' fourth album Star-Crossed called "Justified" (both of them stylized in lowercase). The track goes for Pop adds on September 14.

I don’t really see this doing all that well, but I’m glad Kacey will be pushed at a format that will at least give her a chance!

Currently loving this and star-crossed, is this Kacey's first single sent to pop radio aside from Easy which if I recall got pulled before it impact date right?

This is cute but not sure how this will do on pop given she doesn't have a track record there. Perched for remixes though.

I love this, it sounds like she went further down the Golden Hour direction. I'm pretty sure it won't do much on pop, but I know they're sending it to AAA and maybe HAC might want to play it too? I know she's pretty well-known outside the country sphere and acclaim within the industry but I'm just not sure if that will end up moving the needle in her favor. That being said, if they're willing to try, I'd love to see what this could do.

I doubt it will do much outside Triple A, but I love it and am glad to see the label pushing it.

The driving profile video reminds me of Alanis’ ironic jilted ex-lover era; nice cliffhanger ending too.
Addictive, kind of perfect song for the end of summer

This has been stuck in my brain since yesterday
I’m glad to see her team trying different formats… not sure how it will do, though.
She’s built a career without radio, so I guess she has nothing to lose by trying.

I think Pop Radio might actually latch onto this, who knows? I mean it's Interscope who's promoting her this time.

At first I wasn’t too keen on it, but it’s grown on me. Interested in seeing how this fairs on pop.

This sounds very 90's Lilith Fair. I hope it does well, I would love to see this sound coming back.

Glad they’re giving this a shot at pop. I doubt it will go far if anywhere, but like someone else said, she has nothing to lose. This has grown on me with a few more listens.

Love this but I feel like “Simple Times” is the hit on this album in regards to pop radio. Then again, I don’t really listen to radio, so what do I know.

This probably isn't that far from making the top 50, the #50 song has 323 spins as of yesterday and falling.

I’m really curious to see how far this can go. Kacey has zero track record at Pop radio and this isn’t something that’ll set fire IMO. I’m hoping for a Top 30 finish, but realistically reaching Top 40 will be cherry on the top.

Great single choice from the album. It's really good and a grower. I hope it manages to become a moderate hit on pop at least.
"Simple Times" & "Breadwinner" need to be pushed as 2nd/3rd singles if this does decently. Would love it if she managed a slew of pop hits from the album.
