Forward or Return?

[Casey H]

This might have been forwarded, might have been returned. I'm always curious what people think before they know the answer. They do that on Taxi TV sometimes. High bar listing!

I would say Forward.

[macomposer]

Forward!!

[WSAO]

This is definitely a radio-ready pop song.
However It’s got a bit of a different vibe compared to the references.
I guess it’ll come down to the screener, some are pickier than others.
Fingers crossed it makes the cut, though, ‘cause it’s an awesome track, no doubt!
Cheers!

Excellent foot tapper. congrats Casey

[GaryShaffer]

Love it. Hopefully it's a forward!

[JimOfferman]

Tough call! I think you have a really fun song, but those references make for some stiff competition… hopefully a forward, ‘cause the screener saw potential?
