If this is the first single, this is a "big mistake" as they say in their song.
They should have put out a more upbeat song as the first single. Instead, they are opening themselves is to be related once again to the stigma of "boyband" ballads.
That said, I think that the song is actually pretty good on first listen. The beginning was not that great, but it got much better once the chorus started.
I thought I'm Still or something like that was planned to be the first single?

Are you sure? I heard it was just a leaked song but not intended for the first single.

I heard it on promosquad yesterday so it's a good possibility that it will be the first single

Uhhh, I didn't bother listening to the song but... I thought it was fairly obvious that Pop ballads are nowhere in sight, so why would they think theirs would do now? If they're THAT stupid, they deserve to flop.

It sounds decent and more mature. I'm surprised to say it's alright since I never liked their previous songs.
It would be refreshing to hear this on the radio. Also, you ig-nor-ant (Margaret Cho-style) if you judge the song without listening to it.

They should've done something uptempo, the best way to start off a new album, especially after an absence from the music scene, is with a good uptempo song. Its not an awful song, but it really doesn't fit anywhere. Ballads don't work as first singles anymore.

Got a survey on RateTheMusic yesterday with just this song.
I actually am very impressed with the song, and hope that it does better than it seems that it will. Seems like a big flop song, but I hope radio doesn't shun the maturity of the song, despite the fact that it's a ballad.

Is it just me or has everything that's been leaked just reacted poorly?

Also, you ig-nor-ant (Margaret Cho-style) if you judge the song without listening to it. It's not called ignorant, it's called common sense and having business savvy. Sappy Pop ballads aren't doing well at radio now, and BSB have enough barriers to airplay right now as it is. It could be the best ballad ever made, and it won't do well, so I don't need to listen to it to figure that out.

Well it would be nice to listen to it to know it's not a sappy pop ballad.

I listened to it and I am a BSB fan (well used to be and will give the new cd a chance) but this is just crap, even for a ballad. If it was amazing...ok. But a crappy slow first single? What are they thinking?

When I wake up, I'll tell you what I think of this.
By the way, why would they be releasing a first single this far in advance of a June release?

I actually kind of like it. It's just not first single material to me. The beginning piano kind of reminds me of "Existensialism on Prom Night"

Promosquad sent out an e-mail with a direct link to this song in the Jukebox. It's pretty nice, but it's not the one-listen smash they need to make a comeback.

What the need is a grown up, updated "I Want It That Way"- mid-tempo with a catchy hook, but with more mature lyrics and more of a rock edge (pure pop will flop now)

I don't think it's that bad actually. A lot better than a lot of their other shit. Even though this is sort of sappy, it's definitely not as corny as some of their old stuff.

I think "Breakaway" and "Beautiful Soul" have shown that some pure pop tracks can still have a very high amount of success, as long as it's done right.

YAWN...... its a great song for insomniacs... Lol...I've not even heard the song, but that sounds about right to me. I think the only way they'd get any airplay now is if they'd release an urban sounding track. And this is the Backstreet Boys we're talking about so let's not even go there.
