June 22, 201510 yr It's INCREDIBLE! :wub: Exactly what I was hoping from it. Great production, good lyrics and what a whopper of a chorus. I still think it was smart to lead with 'I Really Like You' though, as she was gone so long and that song's cutesy novelty appeal was in the same vein as the only thing she was remembered for, so it was a clever re-introduction (and I say that as someone who's actually indifferent to the song itself). If she'd led with this, I'm not sure it would have made the same impact from the off, however now she's regained the profile for it to fulfil its potential. I agree, 'I Really Like You' did its job to reintroduce her to the public consciousness when pretty much everyone would have predicted she'd have a muted return at best. She's in a pretty good position for this to do the business for her and I hope it's a hit on the same sort of level at least.
June 23, 201510 yr I don't think shes in a great position. IRLY was meant to replicate CMM's success hence why Scooter kept saying "It's the better version. It's a huge hit" and getting Bieber to do another video.
June 23, 201510 yr This new-wave 80's synth sound in the current pop songs are kinda amazing. I'm LOVING the quality of them all! This song is just brilliant. :wub: PLEASE be the hit you deserve to be!
June 23, 201510 yr This is excellent! :wub: I agree that IRLY was the best song to reintroduce herself with, and hopefully this song will keep the momentum going.
June 23, 201510 yr I Really Like You was the PERFECT song to re-introduce her with, like others have said, it's very much in the same vein as Call Me Maybe and that's what she needed. Maybe this could be her I Knew You Were Trouble. compared with IRLY's We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together though? Hard to say at this early stage of course but it seems possible. Oh and if IRLY couldn't smash in the US, I'm not sure anything would have, especially with the hype that seemed to have with the video.

Oh and if IRLY couldn't smash in the US, I'm not sure anything would have, especially with the hype that seemed to have with the video. I really Like you has been weirdly stable outside the top 40 in the US, it's actually climbed the past two weeks. Up at #59 this week. I think it should manage Gold there at very least.
June 23, 201510 yr Seeing as though I seem to be missing something, would someone mind explaining to me how releasing IRLY was the PERFECT choice and leaves her in a good position in any way? Personal opinions on the song aside, it flopped. Worldwide. It was catchy, yes. But it did not do the job it was supposed to.. They wanted a huge #1 and it was labelled a superior Call Me Maybe. It managed top 40 and just about scraped through in some territories. The UK was the only place it went top 3. It didn't even make top 10 in Canada! Yet IRLY has put Carly Rae in a good position? How? Unless you mean UK?
June 23, 201510 yr To be honest, I never expected her to even get a charting single in the US again. It's hung around a bit and raised awareness that she's still around, which could set this up well enough.
June 23, 201510 yr She did what The Saturdays usually do and released the less good single first. She should have come back with a bang - ala this new single. It would have been a wiser move.
June 23, 201510 yr This is absolutely sublime. :wub: These pop girls coming out with all the good this past week.
June 29, 201510 yr Just noticed that this is available on Amazon UK, so if anyone is wanting to legally download the track, you can do so from there. I assume it's by mistake!
June 29, 201510 yr This is a great song and probably on the same level as IRLY. I think IRLY did well enough, especially for her. It's not like she's an established artist with a lot of hits under her belt and she hasn't had a big hit since Good Time which was three years ago. All that considered I think it has done pretty well for her. I do think this has a better shot in the US though. It's a little more mature and will probably connect with more people.
July 3, 201510 yr This song is so SPECIAL. I keep going back to it and everytime it offers something new. Had a real moment with it while walking and feeling slightly down (and tipsy) as it was and it just connects. Really hope the public take to it, because it should really go down as a 'Teenage Dream' style CLASSIC.
July 3, 201510 yr To be honest having lived with RAWM a couple of weeks I think I Rly Like You is the better song. But that's not to disparage the former at all. I'm not sure it's a hit though. I think the best section of the album is LA Hallucinations (what a damn banger) through to Didn't Just Come Here to Dance. All amazing. Black Heart is like a flop single discovered on Scandipop circa 08. It's a bit Kylie X and a bit "mysterious" by that Swedish pop girl who was fabulous but swiftly forgotten.

This is how I feel. I really want this to do well though as I love what Carly is bringing in terms of pure pop. Where's the pre order for this? Do we have a UK release date?
