I'm so confused about this song. It's randomly getting airplay in Canada. At least two of Halifax' stations are playing this as well. What I find weird is that it's only on Kelly's re-released album but as an iTunes bonus track I think? It's not a hit in the states at all and Kelly isn't exactly a big name but it's getting airplay in Canada. I don't think it's CanCon.
Any ideas?
It's a nice song tho. I like it!

This is kinda weird that she would be releasing a song in Canada only. It's not like she's having success here. BTW this song is on the Deluxe Edition of Ms. Kelly.

As surprising as it is to see this song still getting airplay after almost a year, this song's climbing up the charts on AC, less so on CHR and Hot AC...
#15 on R&R Canada AC Chart (10 weeks so far)

This song was just certified for 20,000 spins on Nielsen BDS. I guess this song was a hit after all for K-Ro. :o

It's so random that this became a big airplay hit for 2 years in a row in Canada when it wasn't even officially released to radio there.

haha! Very random indeed. Is there even any information out about the song itself? Writers?

According to the composer info of this song on my iTunes, the writers of this are Jordan Thorsteinson, Troy Samson and Mike James.
It was produced by Jeff Dawson who produced the majority of Daniel Powder's debut album, and both he and Daniel are Canadian.
This song does sound very similar to the songs from Daniel's debut.
So in actuality isn't this CanCon since the producer (and possibly the writers) are Canadian?

I'm not sure.... if one of us looked at the BDS radio charts back then and saw the Canadian flag next to this song, then it would have been considered CanCon. It would be interesting to know if it was.

If the producer and writer are Canadian, it qualities. Moreso if it was also recorded in Canada.
The rules are with music (composed entirely by (s)a Canadian(s)), artist (the music is, or the lyrics are, performed principally by a Canadian), production (recorded wholly in Canada) and lyrics (written entirely by a Canadian).
I think it works with co-writers that aren't Canadian as well, as long as one of them is from Canada. Not sure if it's a ratio at all though, like 51% contribution by Canadians.
