I want her to release "Wide Awake" for three reasons.
1. It's the better song of the two.

2. I want her to release a slow ballad-esque song to see where it would go. If it does well it would solidify her role as digital/single/chart queen since the only ballads that are doing well are Adele's.

3. It would show the general public a different side of Katy that they don't see very often in her music. They're all used to the fun, party, in love katy, not the melancholy, sad, emotional, deep Katy. It might make her fanbase grow. Yes, I do realize that a lot of people do know "Thinking of You," but all of her other singles are fun party songs.
