I think the whole Nicki thing was last minute anyway. I mean on the physical albums all have Avril solo, but the digital albums feature Nicki. I personally like the solo version better, but if you feature someone on your album, maybe it should be more organized. Don't know if it was only time Nicki could make it or whatever, but it's obvious that it was ill prepared from the start. I think if the Honda performance had gone better, maybe we would have at least had a solo DB video. Either way, I'm waaaay over not having a video. HAW video was pretty amazing to me just for the location alone. TMIO was an OK video, so maybe we would not have wanted a video anyway if it turned out as just OK instead of living up to the upbeat sounds of DB.

^ it was last minute, like a week before or something. Remember in an interview in NY (Sirius XM?) she said they had just asked Nicki a little while ago. I'll post it if I find it 🙂

I get it's an old song now, but it doesn't matter the song isn't popular. If they make a video, send the song to radio and make some promo, it could start charting. It's like after an album is released you can't release singles because everyone already heard them. DB was a promo single for the album, not an official single yet, there's nothing to say it is a single only because it was released 2 days before the album but no radio, no mv, no promo... They paid for YouTube playlist, for a week, they didn't do it for Tell Me It's Over so let's say that's the biggest promo it could get. I've already said - she can shoot music videos for all the tracks from the album. With TMIO budget she can really do it. The thing with DB is that they released it as a promo single before the album, did a small buzz around it, bought YT playlist, it was supported by Sirius XM for some time and it's doubtful they would like to invest more time or money into it. We were all hoping she's gonna promote the album performing this track in Japan and she didn't. The song isn't popular there, nor is HAW. Her presence in Japan is exactly what she needed to do in 2013, having Here's to Never Growing Up out and a music video related to Let Go era - they are bringing back the memories about her right now. Perhaps this strategy could also work in Europe but is she even planing to go to Europe?

To be honest, I'm sometimes forgetting that this song even exists. It's just one of these songs that you listen to few times and and forget it.

^ It's not THAT bad. Of course I enjoy the song, but prefer the Avril album version over the single version.

I wish they had made the solo version available digitally so I could listen to it more. I don’t have a CD drive in my computer anymore to rip it from the CD.

How many times does Avril say 'da' in 'Things I'll Never Say?'
