Now that I have listened to this I can say that A) I do like it B) Mineable, it is indeed a sappy Pop ballad ;) and C) Everything I said in my previous posts about how stupid a single choice this is and why still applies.

It's not "sappy" to me. It's heart-wrenching.
I can definitely hear the Nick Carter-"Now Or Never"-rock influence in the chorus. Go Nick, doin' it big time hardcore punk!

After a few spins…I am iffy on this record. There are moments that I really like, especially in the first and second verse, however the hook really doesn’t pack the same punch. I totally didn’t expect this type of record from them…I thought they would follow the trend and go urban. I’m surprised how dark this is…the chords are pretty haunting. While I don’t think this song will receive a warm welcome from Top 40 radio…you just never know these days. I think this might sound pretty good on the air right now.

It's not that it's bad, it's just awful for a first single after so long away.

i think return singles should always be faster songs.. Slow ballads should be, usually, 3rd singles...
Although i don't think this will crack top 10 on CHR/POP i see it doing great on HOT AC/AC, guaranteed 1....

Maybe they are going to release a second single before the album drops.
This song is ok but it is really hard to tell if it is going to be a success. It can be a grower like The Reason but we'll have to wait and see.

I do not like this song. Not a little bit, not even at all. (I feel like Dr. Suess. )

BSB is officially done for if this is released. This will make Mariah's flops from the last few years like major hints.

This got a really bad response from WDRQ, everyone who called in about it said how bad it was.

I like it a little but it is dated. It sounds like all their other stuff.
And being called the Backstreet _Boys_, when some are almost middle aged, is not going to help one bit.

It's not "sappy" to me. It's heart-wrenching. You can label it any way you want, but it's not going to fool anyone. This is another tired single from a dated band that belongs in the late-90's.

i dont care if this song belongs to the 90s or 80s... all i know is that it's a good song. it doesn't matter if it doesn't do well on radio. bsb should keep on doing ballads because that's what they're good at.

If their album is mostly ballads why try to fool us with releasing an uptempo song as a first single even if will become more popular?

BSB's best song will always be "Larger Than Life". That song was hella hot.

This is a pretty good song,so if they can get over the prejudices about them as a band,then this MIGHT be a hit. Don't think so though.

Oh my God. Okay, this is EXACTLY why when I have people listen to this song I NEVER tell them who sings it. Believe me, it makes the WORLD of difference. It'll be impossible for you guys to like it now.
By the way, I don't think it'll be the new single anymore. The real single is being released on March 18th.

If you are implying we hate it because its BSB, guess again. I have all the albums and was looking forward to new material-in fact, even LIKED some of the leaked new material. I couldnt even get through this one though. Its crap. Im hoping its one of the weakest on the cd.

A lot of people like that song. Then again, a lot of them also don't know it's the Backstreet Boys. I know a lot of people here seem to hate it. But you'll be shocked to know that you're the minority. Not to seem insulting, but it's true. Not everybody has to like it though. But those who I have played it for, who didn't know it was BSB, who don't even LIKE BSB, thought the song was good. And many other BSB fans have been doing the same thing. Playing it for a non-fan, make them admitt they like it, then tell them who it is and have them feel embarrassed afterwards. It's happened so many times already. It's kind of enjoyable. For the fans, at least.
But noone here will be able to understand that now. It's okay, go on hating it.

Wow theres no need to come here and call us idiots! >:(It's not all fault a bunch of guys in their 30s who call them selfs boys want to come and try to be popular again since they have nothing better to do. and how many people would actually like it if the knew who sang it? so what you need to understand is that no one cares about them anymore, and people with at least half a brain want REAl music. so YOU can go on hating

How do the teenies find this place, anyways? If anything, I was predisposed to LOVE this song. It sucks. Its weak. End of story. Floppy flop for them if they release it and NO not because its BSB.
