Playlisted by BBC Radio 1.

This ship has sailed already I fear. But maybe there will be a remix with another artist?

Is merely playlisting a song on Radio 1 a surefire guarantee that a song has been chosen as a single, or would Radio 1 just opt to play a more recent/popular album track that had gone viral?

I know in this case a music video was made for the song which is probably a good intent that it was meant to be pushed in some territories maybe.

Pretty much yes, Radio 1 play whatever's officially sent as a single (evident when they playlisted Drake's GIMME A HUG despite NOKIA being the song taking off, then swapping it out for NOKIA a week later when the single choice was changed).

I don't expect anything more to come of this track but it's nice that it's officially gained single status, I knew it could only be a matter of time. It took off so soon after Sports car that I can understand why they waited to push it to radio, it keeps her on radio for a longer period of time as Radio 1 will undoubtedly promote this up to the A list in a few weeks.
