Would Beyoncé have a top 10 if she released this as a lead?
It sounds very current, it was on I Am... but if she were to release this as a lead single, and End of Time as a second single. Would the 4 era be a lot more successful (it was anyway)?
I know it doesn't fit 4, but people complain on how Run the World was a bad lead single. And it was, Run the World doesn't fit on 4 either, it would've been perfect without it.
I still believe that End of Time is one of the best songs of 2011 and not releasing it as a single was a bad choice.
In a weird way, Run The World fits in with the latter half of the album.
Not sonically or thematically at all, but rather in it's composition and structure.
