Not releasing this song was a huge mistake

[Emil87]

Who here enjoys “Sucker For Pain” as much as I do? It’s quite a refreshing and different sound for Britney, and I really dig the eerie sounding instrumental. The vocals on it are excellent as well.

The song ended up going to Imagine Dragons, and was a huge hit for them. The music video has over 800M YouTube views.

It was also featured in the 2016 film “The Suicide Squad”. The movie was massively successful, earning $750M at the box office.

I’d like to know whose idea it was to leave this song on the cutting room floor.

Okay tell me why did I just message my friend about this EXACT topic  lol very spooky! Anyways... It is an actual hate crime that this didn't get on Britney's album. I blame her evil team. It would of been a smash and would of been a unexpected song for the general public to latch on to!

[Michel De Mal]

Amazing demo.....I still can't believe it was leaked....

[DoYouDare?]

Yep, it would’ve carried Glory, for sure.

Lol, I agree. I feel the same way about “Amnesia”, both of these songs are better than most artists’ entire discographies and huge missed opportunities.

Agreed. I enjoy “Make Me”, but in no way was it first single material.

Song itself is not my type of music and lyrically it irks me. 
 

I used to love mainstream music in 2000s. 2010s definitely not my era.

Britney is the Superior version. Tho, i admit i was surprised to find out the song was offered to her. The song suits her and her voice so perfectly.      

[super.nova]

a couple of things.

first: finally a ******* good topic to discuss with depth and intelligence.

second: this song is so good in her voice and I love the “weirdness” of it. also it’s so unusual for her to sing something like this.

third: imagine the music video being a little BDSM and mysterious kinda like the black vinyl outfit from prerogative perfume ad meets if you seek amy careless / **** look, meets my prerogative bed scenes meets boys music video aesthetics.

Her version is really good. No idea why they took her off the song for the official release.

[Seanril]

Her version is wonderful 

[warioaddams]

This should been the stand alone single with the movie and not pretty mess. 

[Oprah Winfrey.]

I love Britney’s vocals so raw you can feel the anger the emotion. 

[Britney Xposed]

I wonder how many artists passed it up. It was written back in 2011 and was passed around a lot

I agree! 

This could've been her 6th 1# hit

Her team did not know what songs were hits.

They were so stupid.

[Eternalhouse]

I really like this song it's so catchy. Yes it would have been great as a soundtrack for such a huge movie. 

And I think Britney's version is better than the released version.

I love her deep voice at the end of the  second verse.

A dark gloomy music video similar to the vibe of the movie would have been 🔥.

She sounds like she’s got a terrible cold, ‘I’m just a sucker fur bane’
