It's a pretty awful song.

Because it blows.

Uma Thurman was still a radio smash

Uma Thurman peaked at #9 on overall radio with 96M AI, so it was a hit but not exactly a smash there. Fall Out Boy is an HAC staple- it peaked at #3 there, and it achieved a surprising #7 peak on pop as well.

You can't compare UT and OctaHate, though. The former is an upbeat, fairly radio-friendly, anthemic song by a very well-known artist, while the latter is an indie-pop song by an unknown artist without much promotion or buzz.

The song is nothing special and neither is she.

I'm still so mad about this. Poor Ryn. I really wanted this song to smash

+1

I have a feeling the song will smash hard in 2016 if Ryn is lucky enough to get a rerelease for a flop song, I just feel it in my veins.

She is simply not striking. She doesn't have a very specific look or image. Her personality is also not very marketable.

I mean, she posted pictures of her hairy armpits on her Instagram. This is not how you have your breakthrough.

She could suceed as a songwriter for others, but Gwen scrapped the material with her.
