No one said that? The forum loves it because it sounds like WAU 2.0 AKA a smash hit waiting for happen. It's a travesty that they chose to release a cheap, generic and faceless song as the single from 'Finest Selection', when there are two far more interesting songs with a bit of personality sitting on the album.

I love it but it's far from the best thing they recorded, I think the reason it's won this thing, is because everyone was a bit suprised that they chose to release WAYWF instead.

I like 808 but there are far better songs on that countdown.

LEAVE A LIGHT ON IS SO UNDERRATED.

 

Tbh 'What Are You Waiting For' is such a moment when it euphorically goes into 'What Are You Waiting For' Una flips her hair and the song just gets better

Yeah WAYWF is of equal quality to 808 in my opinion - it's not bad. Nothing the Saturdays released at that point would have done any better than WAYWF.

That's the only good bit of the song. The rest is awful.

if '808' was released it wouldn't have done much better than 'What Are You Waiting For' and the comments would have been reversed... WHY WAS WAYWF not released?

Poor Walking Through The Desert </3

808 would have been a better single, purely because they didn't have the same energy as 'WAYWF' has in the performances.

Plus, the Angel Haze feature would have turned a few more heads. It may not have been played on radio, but there'd have been a bigger buzz just because it was a feature. It's also catchier and not as annoying.

I loved the 'What are you waiting for, what are are you waiting for' chant at first but now it grates on me.

I'm confident they'd have performed better (both live and in the charts) if 808 had been the single.

 

 

WAYWF is far from a bad single in my opinion, it's a great summer tune... it's energetic, euphoric and fun, but I can tell that 808 has more appeal, maybe 808 should have been released first and then WAYWF second, then if the campaign was successful, they could have even released WTTD.

I gotta say that WAYWF is a fantastic track imo. Like Juliano said it's energetic and i feels it's slightly euphoric. it's not a bad song by any means! It fits right in with their discography for the last couple of years.

What's with this forum's love of One Shot? It's basic and nowhere near as good as Ego or Forever Is Over..

Definitely agree with most, White Lies,Faster & Get Ready Get Set>> Notorious.

Wildfire> All of Living For The Weekend (maybe on par with Not Giving Up)

808 is better than "What Are You Waiting For"? But top 5?? :lol:

White Lies, Chasing Lights, Lose Control, Faster, 808 and Last Call are the only songs I'll be sad about not being released as singles

Uh, I can't remember this thread?

In my opinion, after the successful What About Us, they shoulda released Wildfire as a single instead of Gentleman & THEN NGU. This would of kept them hot

Did anyone catch this?

 

Wildfire should have been released after WAU
