There are some really great confirmed/speculated stories about songs that were meant to lunch album's promo campaign but ended up being postponed (like Rihanna's Love On The Brain) or even scrapped from the album (like Britney Spears' Get Back). I'm making this thread because I recently find out that Here Comes The Weekend was meant to be Pink's The Truth About Love lead single but it end up not being a single at all.

All in My Head (Flex) was originally going to be the lead single to 7/27. Then they changed it to Work From Home as the US lead and That's My Girl as the international lead. Then they changed it to just WFH
Beyoncé's "Naughty Girl" from the Dangerously In Love era... It eventually was released as the 4th single and peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. I wonder how it would've performed as the first single...

+ The label tried to convince her that Rolling In The Deep wasn't a good lead single choice but she wasn't having it. Look how right she was both times
would've been #1 for 20+ weeks.
