Compared to every song from the After Hours era, it charted very shortly and wasn't well received. I thought it was a generic sounding song. It really only charted due to the hype from his brand and the momentum from After Hours. Also like you said, everyone was still listening to Save Your Tears and Blinding Lights would not die so this song was largely ignored.

Take My Breath was no worse than Blinding Lights… both are shimmery, Max Martin produced synthpop bangers. 
 

I agree that the only reason the song performed poorly was due to the success/over performance of SYT…

I love MTAF with SHM. I hope that general vibe of EDM is included in this record, since he said it will.

I figured that the whole rollout for his new album was halted after Take My Breath flopped. Abel was hyping the heck out of that single and once it didn't chart... radio silence from him and his team until now.

I have to wonder if they changed direction on the album at all.

It was more than likely halted because of the delays in vinyl manufacturing. He turned the album in back in September of 2021 and has already filmed music videos and a short film for it, so it's unlikely that any reception to "Take My Breath" would have influenced any choices made with the rollout. He's been dropping collabs to keep fans fed in the meantime. He's already working on another album that will be a companion piece to his new show on HBO.

I think he’s just spacing it out more, maybe decided to slow things down post-After Hours after Take My Breath came out so soon (just a few months after Save Your Tears, and even Blinding Lights, were radio staples).

I don’t understand the narrative of Take My Breath being a “flop”. It sure as hell isn’t as big as Blinding Lights, literally no other song in his catalog is, but it peaked top 10 in US, AUS, and CAN, nabbed some year-end chart placements WW, and got a lot of radio play

He’s also been reconfiguring and hyping the tour and doing lots of media stuff

I’d say the fact that hardly anyone is talking about it, compared to Blinding Lights and Save Your Tears, kinda makes it a flop.

I’m tired and angry but somebody should be

He literally just posted yesterday saying there’s no point in doing a rollout or anything, that he’s just gonna drop it in full. Don’t see what the point of announcing it would be if that’s the case. Would kinda defeat the purpose. Then again that’s what Halsey just did.

So I guess this confirms that Take My Breath won’t be on the album?

He announced the album for friday January 7th, take a bow :giggle:

Stop announcing you're surprise dropping an album, if you announce it its not a surprise :deadbanana:

plus some of yall need to face the facts that a surprise drop being successful is really ****ing difficult, Beyonce before dropping her self titled was so nervous that people wouldn't like it.
