So to sum up my last few posts

01/ Die Young
02/ Supernatural / Last Goodbye
ALBUM RELEASE
03/ Supernatural / Last Goodbye

[Aurora]

Both Last Goodbye and Supernatural were done way before Warrior was finished, wasn't Last Goodbye the song that gave Kesha some direction with how Warrior was to be? And Supernatural was previewed long before Die Young was released... they should have come out first, and before Die Young did.

Last Goodbye (August 2012)
Supernatural (November 2012)
= Album Release (January 2013) =
Crazy Kids [Different Verses] (February 2013)
Die Young (May 2013)
Only Wanna Dance With You (August 2013)
Timber (October 2013)

Everything after your album release is a complete mess and would have flopped horribly

[Aurora]

Yes okay I will admit to that, but I literally didn't know what to do because Warrior is such a disjointed album with a lack of single potential besides Die Young, Supernatural and Last Goodbye, lbr.

Couldn't have flopped worse than the actual Warrior era tho hihi

[CroNich]

The verses on Crazy Kids really, really annoy me. I mean why waste such a fantastic chorus... If Crazy Kids had different verses then it should of gone:

Crazy Kids
Last Goodbye
-----------------
Supernatural
Thinking Of You
Only Wanna Dance With
Love Into The Light

[Kanji]

Die Young
Supernatural
ALBUM RELEASE
Thinking of You
Last Goodbye

Die Young was the perfect lead single. Smashed decently and got her name out there again
Supernatural had a lot of hype. It would easily fly up iTunes upon release and it's definitely radio friendly maybe bar the bridge. But whatever
Thinking of You did the best on iTunes after the album release. It probably would have done pretty well if pushed and it shows a different sound sonically for Kesha. Possibly a risk but idc since the song slays
Last Goodbye just sounds like something that should be at the end of an era to me. Different sound sonically and lyrically for Kesha too.
I suppose she could've released something else afterwards too if everything smashed. I'd personally have liked Past Lives to end the era since it's one of my favourites and she ain't got anything to lose since the era is pretty much over anyway. Love into the Light would be another option since she really needs to release a ballad at some point.

I disagree, a lot of tracks on Warrior had single potential (TOY, OWDWY (with the original bridge), even Wherever You Are would of done alright)

As much as I don't like Die Young it did to the job as a lead single. I have a problem with Supernatural as well because the verses are over-produced and actually hurt my ears.. if the verses were a mix between the original ones and the deconstructed ones (making it more of a progressive EDM song) It would be the perfect choice for a second or third single.

[Aurora]

Wherever You Are would have gone down just as bad as C'Mon did.

I like Thinking Of You and Only Wanna Dance With You but I don't see them being successful singles. I just love OWDWY so much I wanted it as a later single so it wouldn't matter if it flopped.

Die Young would only be an okay lead if there were two singles before Warrior, with Supernatural being it. I'll give you that much, KNT. I still think Last Goodbye and Supernatural would have slayed harder and sold more albums and given more longevity, though.

It actually didn't, though. Lead singles are supposed to sell albums, and it didn't do that. Die Young would only work as a lead single if there was to be a second single that helped sell albums, and Die Young was simply for hit-factor and to get Kesha's name out there before the album-selling single. Supernatural would have helped move more albums than Die Young too because at least it's not another generic party song and actually has somewhat innovative production and some really good lyrics.

I believe

Supernatural
Last Goodbye
ALBUM RELEASE

Would have been the perfect case to achieve the most potential success. Supernatural would have garnered a **** load of controversy and would fare well on the charts. Last Goodbye would have caused a considerable amount of controversy cause it's very different sounding than ha previous singles, it sounds ****ing good and radio/iTunes would have eaten it up. It would have also given her a much greater perception from the GP. Then with those factors in mind - the album would have good first week sales and not flopped Like compare this to the Bangerz singles then album release. Supernatural could have been her WCS, whilst LG could have been ha WB.

Then it sohuld have followed with:
Die Young
Crazy Kids
GTA/ToY

[Aurora]

Also can I point out that Die Young wasn't a WW hit? Another reason why it was a bad lead single, unless Kesha wants to be local. It didn't chart in NEARLY as many countries as a lead single from a pop girl should, and out of the ones that it did chart in, it only reached Top 10 in about 10, and pretty much all of them are English-speaking countries. Not that great.

Okay then Die Young did a good enough job as the FIRST single but i agree it was no enough to sell Warrior as an album.

Also guys vote for Kesha!

Die Young should have been released in June/July, Last Goodbye in September and Warrior album in November tbh

Wherever You Are would do a C'mon or Crazy Kids for sure, OWDWY would be cool as a single but it would probably flop as well

CroNich: just a friendly reminder that "would/should of" doesn't mean anything and it's really "would/should have"

[Aurora]

I doubt Die Young was even a thing in June/July. At least not ready for radio.

I think Die Young (along with Warrior) was one of the last songs to be recorded.

Assuming it was done though, but I'd be fine if they just released LG in August and album in October/November

Yeah, I thought it was. Plus the chorus was re-written at least once (by Nate)... knowing Kesha, probably multiple times in the first place.
