After years of dropping standalone singles like little breadcrumbs, I'm so happy that she's finally arrived! 😍
I can't wait to hear this song because the clip she posted the other day sounded FIRE. I am hoping that the long wait to attempt her at radio leads to a fruitful career because it's been a long process getting her setup for this moment and I have to think that her label had a game plan, even if it was a long one.

FINALLY. So many good options for radio singles from her have come and gone, glad to finally see her have an add date for something.

She looks a bit like Andrew Garfield in that pic

For those of us who are new to her, will this be a country song? I see that she is described as a genre-bending artist with a background in musical theatre and pop as a teenager. Please post quality streams when you can!

Something about her voice just doesn't connect with me for some reason, maybe due to how thick her voice sounds or tone of her vocals. Regardless, this is definitely the most radio friendly of her songs but I still don't think radio is going to really take to this that much imo. Her voice just doesn't sound radio friendly among the women in country music imo.

This is SO good! It has such an easy breezy summery vibe that I think will sound great on the radio. I have been looking forward to her getting a full-length album out there, so I need this to do well enough that they finally pull the trigger on dropping a studio record for her.

Will have to give it a few spins but to me on first listen this sounds a bit watered down to fit radio compared to how unique her previous singles were. I'm sure I'll be jamming to this in a few days time though haha I've loved everything she's put out.

I really want to like Kassi’s music because I like her a lot, but literally nothing she’s ever put out has been even slightly tolerable for me. She just has a weird sound that doesn’t fit contemporary country radio at all so I’m surprised her label is attempting anything at radio for her. I’ll be extremely surprised if this does anything but scrape the bottom of the chart if it’s lucky.

By far, this is her best song to date; however, it is also a very HARD PASS for me as well. I wanted to like it but there is something about her voice on this song that told me "no thank you, I'll wait for the next one, if there is one."

I'm so nervous about the adds today, I'm going to be on the edge till the final number comes out. Hoping for 20+ at minimum

Yep most added song with 24 adds and 26 total stations. I will say I do need to see how this compares to other artists and their debut singles for a reference point but so far not bad.

I am starting to sound like a broken record so starting to think its just me but...this sounds like a Maren Morris song to me? Maybe this new group of ladies has been wildly inspired by Maren (as many of the last wave were inspired by Taylor) but to me this sound like a Track 8 on a Maren era.
It's OK. It won't make a dent at radio, too out-there. Just my opinion.

26 adds is a pretty strong start imo.

So I did decide to look more into how 26 total stations compared to other debut/debut-esque singles and it is about the amount a new artist tends to get (Kameron Marlowe had 24 total stations, Conner Smith had 22, Chayce Beckham had 28, etc), so nothing too shocking. 26 is a solid start (I feel like she would have needed at least 35+ stations for me to qualify it as a strong start) and I am curious to see how this will do in coming weeks.

I don't like this at all. I also tried her other materials this morning, but none of them were appealing to me. Her delivery style does not work for me at all. I do want to support the success of new female artists, but not with this one.

8 more adds this week for a total of 34. Now I expect her to be in the new & active section next week at minimum, seems 30+ adds usually gets you there or sometimes even charting.

Kassi Ashton is proving to be quite the polarizing artist on Pulse, it seems lol. Most are either loving or hating her... doesn't seem to be much in-between.

Yay! Only took just over a month to crack the chart. Promising start for a new female's debut single.

The adds continue to trickle in too, so I'm happy so far! I do think the song will sound best come the warmer months so I'm hoping it can climb through the summer!

This may be one of the worst songs I’ve heard on the radio in the past couple years. Surprised it is getting so much positive feedback here.
