Up N' Down Should Always Have Been The Femme Fatale Lead Single

[Tear the floor up up]

Imagine an October release for scary with a Halloween music video

[Duff Man]

Personally i prefer seal it with a kiss or trip to your heart as a single rather than up n down.. but i like all 3 songs..

That album really was full of bops

We got gimme more in October 2007 ..i always think of gimme more as a dark, halliweenish  track

Up n down is good but cheese. HIAM is one of her best songs and the strongest on FF. I remember praying for this to be single tho.

I absolutely adore HIAM, don't get me wrong, but it sadly di€d pretty quick after only a couple of months since its release.

UND was to me another plausible option, if not lead, at least 3rd or 4th single: it's a ear-worm track and could have done wonders in radios just like I Wanna Go.

[Jamie Lynn Forever]

I Wanna Go would have been huge if it was the lead. 

Up & Down is good tho but , it's too similar to Trouble For Me, i always get those two songs mixed up idk why.

Hold It Againsts Me has one of the strongest hooks on Femme Fatale, i believe it was the right choice, the issue with HIAM was that, the music video felt very lifeless and overproduced. 

[Jaiden]

I think after IUSA, Radar and 3 I think It was cool to come with something more melody driven like HIAM. I would choose Inside Out as 1st single instead

[The Pink Sheep]

Agreed

[stanLOONA]

I love this song 

I always look back and think that if they stopped the singles at IWG it would be her first album with all Top 10 singles, but nope, Criminal ruined that 

[BoyDeChanel]

No, Inside Out should have been the lead single 

[JordanMiller is Fggt]

I remember when I was pirating the album the song was titled 'Down n Up' 

 

[DignifiedLove]

No. It’s a great song but not single material. It would have tanked on radio.

[DollyParton]

OMG NO! that song is just terrible.

HIAM or at least TTWE was the best lead single choice Up and Down is to clubby and weird for a pilot single, I don’t think it would have landed too well with the GP. HIAM is unique and It was the perfect Boom to start the album campaign. It established that FF is a heavy dance record that adds a bit of weird, trendy, and gritty production. Love it!  

This sums up my feelings exactly. 

Agreed that UND should have been a single though. I would have done this;

1. HIAM
2. TTWE
3. IWG
4. DDB (remix)
5. UND
6. Criminal 

[andreafly1]

Well, at least i think we all can agree that Big Fat Bass should never have been existed.

[Isla]

Up N Down could have easily been a single, but I don't think it's lead single material imo.

Hold It Against Me was the right choice, the only other song from Femme Fatale I could see being lead single is Till the World Ends.

Your list is really good!  

[Almost Mystical]

She should rerelease this with Blackpink feature. It fit their signature as well. 

[Million Billion]

Actually, any song from Femme Fatale could have been a single. It's filled with bops after bops.
