"She seems to want to say a lot of things—perhaps about the “Bad Blood” singer—but already knows the repercussions of those things becoming public. I can practically feel her urge to unleash bubbling and rising to the top of her throat. Just then a smile spreads across her moon-shaped face, the padlock that keeps whatever’s in her mind just right there, and she says, measuredly, “She’s a very talented person.” “You can talk to me about these things, you know,” I say back. “You know I can’t!” she laughs."
The longevity relies on the music itself, the peaks (again...) rely on promotions. NEW ROMANTICS has a huge potential based on its chart performances after its release.
Edit: And obviously, as a bonus track, NR's releasing strategy is a little bit different.
Edit2: I wrote about this before: as NEW music not on standard album, currently people who don't own deluxe, have no OTHER places (Edit3: another obvious way is purchasing the deluxe ) to enjoy this single yet, only iTune, radio...this might explain why they release NEW ROMANTICS in this way.
Edit4: The above are my understanding, maybe not right, but I tried...
Edit5: The release of MV might give the bonus track a last push, but it also means people have a new and better place to consume the single.
I hope the fact that its not on the standard edition helps its chart performance .
