It will be pretty funny if this turns out to be a Dark Horse scenario lol (Sacrifice performing mediocrely while Less Than Zero is just hanging there waiting to be finally officially released a single)

6 months later, still think this is the best track on the album next to "Out of Time." Going to see him next week and can't wait to hear the stadium screaming this song.

"OOT" has been so lowkey and his profile has been practically nonexistent for a while, I think it might be safe to go ahead send this out.

This is sandwiched between Save Your Tears and Blinding Lights as the last 3 songs on his current tour. He actually performs more of this than SYT which is shortened. Streams for this are also up 33% on Spotify since the tour began.

Streams for this are also up 33% on Spotify since the tour began. I still think "Less Than Zero" has a chance to be a hit, pop radio has brought "Out of Time" to #19 without streaming support, so if Abel actually manages to get LTZ some good streaming gains I can see pop radio spinning it into a hit. It probably needs a remix unfortunately, maybe grab Ariana and make SYT remix part 2. It's a cheap tactic but it worked last time lol. |

It needs to distance itself from the SYT comparisons, not add fuel to them. (Not to mention Ariana added nothing to the perfect "Save Your Tears" other than strictly a new chart peak) |

I know he was teasing something related to How Do I Make You Love Me on Twitter, but I could see that just being a video for it. If they do send out another radio single, it should definitely be this.

I'm hoping Die For You will be a nice little break from his 80's stuff for the GP and then he can give this track a proper push, I really hope they throw Ariana or someone on the remix to get it to take off because I really don't wanna see this die. This was a huge crowd pleaser at his tour when I went in July, everyone was singing along. I never wanted a song to become a hit so bad, c'monnnn! It's great for the Fall time too! |

Yeah this is definitely my favorite song from the album. I think he's knows it's a fan favorite, since he placed it right along with SYT and BL on the set list. I hope at the very least we get a video for it. Edit: Well this was great timing, he might be teasing a video, although I'm not sure. http://instagram.com/p/ChVyE6UufWC |

This was clearly the only song on this album that was an obvious hit. He probably just didn't want it to be the lead because it sounds like Save Your Tears tbh

This is also my fave song, and I love the 80’s movie of the same name too. Cool that he is showing love for it.

So has this not impacted radio in the US yet? His team always pushes late album singles internationally then cancels their release in the US...dating back to Starboy

If "Die For You" becomes a big hit (I think it will), they should follow up with this. Or at least I hope so!

Perfect way to get back on radio's good graces after all the Dawn FM singles doing poorly |

I think they should just let this project rest and move on. Isn't he supposed to be making the final album in a trilogy? The single after DFY should be the lead from that. And this time, they should pay attention to its reception because following the relative underperformance of TMB with Sacrifice might be the single worst decision when it comes to single releases in Abel's career so far.

I'm fairly sure the final album in the trilogy won't be out for a while, like late 2023 or early 2024. He still has the International leg of his tour plus The Idol on the horizon. I still think they can get something outta Less Than Zero if they are smart about it, I think letting Die For You go first was a wise decision since it's a break from his 80's pop stuff. A cheap remix with another big name is also viable (*cough* Ariana/Taylor Swift *cough*). |

I definitely think they should try Less Than Zero after Die For You cools down. A high profile remix would be smart, maybe even Dua would work, I'm not sure.

Yeah, I feel like with "Less than Zero", once they start actually pushing it, we're probably gonna get Taylor Swift on the remix. It makes sense since they're both a part of Republic Records and due to this being a song that would compliment Swift's voice and current style. They probably don't want to use Ariana Grande again, as that would just be rehashing an old strategy too soon.

His team should actually target TikTok as well, seeing how it revived Die For You
