The song has really grown on me. It's replaced Free Yourself as my favorite track from the album.

J Records is in a tough situation right now because this song is slowing down a lot. They can't risk sending this for adds and hurting "Truth Is" which actually has a shot at hitting the top. But if they let it go, they might not get a hit out of it.

I don't think Baby Mama will hurt Truth Is on any format if both songs do blow up. They are two totally different songs talking about two totally different subjects. And its not an oversaturation aspect like Nelly who trys to conquer 4 formats with 4 songs on 2 different discs. I think its a good thing for Fantasia because it will give her a bigger audience from the messages in her songs.
Another thing, American Idols can do anything ppl. All she needs to do is perform Baby Mama to all the screaming teeny white girls on the finale of this season and she'll sell tons. Don't worry guys.

they need to let it go, the play it's getting now is sufficient to help album sales and raise her profile, they need to see "Truth is" to the end (won't be surprised if it goes top 5 R&B/top 15 hot 100) and then release one of many potential hit singles (DAR or IAG at the top of the list)

This song is great and I think will end-up doing well at both Pop and Urban stations.

I heard on the radio today that USA Today bashed Fantasia because they feel she is promoting women to be single mothers through this song. :o

According to a J press release issued this morning, Fantasia's second single will be either Baby Mama or Free Yourself. home.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/index.jsp?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20050208005283&newsLang=enThere's no question that Baby Mama is a risky song for Fantasia. You can sing about sex all you want, and even make "Confessions" about it, but don't sing about the aftermath or you'll be accused of causing "controversy." I think Baby Mama is a terrific song that would be a big hit if J were to release it. BTW, the USA Today article is the same as the one posted above by Bob. It's actually a very positive article.

I think the article is just speculating. If it's really between those two songs though, I'd hope they'd go with "Baby Mama". It already has a lot of airplay, and one of the factors that greatly helped "Truith Is" is that it took a relatable theme and people really connected to it. Maybe not as many people can relate to "Baby Mama," but it will be an anthem for those who can connect.. and it's a fun song for those who can't.
"Free Yourself" is too slow. It's going to be three slow songs in a row if they release it. If they are not going to release "Baby Mama," I'd rather they release "Don't Act Right".

J Records is picking horrible singles for her. They obviously dont want her to sell any albums. If they did, "selfish" would be the way to so.

I agree that if it's not Baby Mama, it should be an uptempo song. I'd go with It's All Good even though it's a clone of Lose My Breath. Don't Act Right would be my second choice. I love the "yeeaaaaah"

I wilding out. They're playing this on my radio station right now! All we usually get is crunk s**t and Usher. Go FANNY! I think she's gotten like 30-something spins so far this week. HOT TAMALE.
They were playing a reel of people calling in requesting it. There were a bunch of ghetto girls "make sure you play that 'Tasia. thats my jam." and some guys, "that new fantasia is hot."
fanny got love in bama!
And "Truth Is" is the #1 song on the Urban AC station here.
GO FANNY!

They have to be true idiots not to release "Baby mama" the song already charted. But i don't see anything wrong with having "Free Yourself" as teh third single, although it would bomb at pop. Maybe "It's All Good" could be the fourth single, by then "Lose My Breath" would be just a memory......

I said this on another board a while ago (just joined this one) but when Fantasia's album first came out, a lot of people in my class were singing this song. People who didn't even own the album. I imagine if they tested the song with the right audience of Urban, it would have tested very well.
I love this song and I think it'll do well. It's very catchy.
Also..I don't think Selfish would be a good single although that's very catchy.. but it just sounds cheap, I think like someone else said too (especially Missy's part).
