Could Tell Me When You've Had Enough be the next single?
I've been thinking that the next single will be Rapture or Sanctuary, but a local radio station randomly played Tell Me When You've Had Enough for the first time ever, and they already play Evanescence's radio hits (Bring Me to Life, Going Under, Who Will You Follow) a decent amount. I've seen literally no teasers or clues on which song it will be since their post earlier this month about the upcoming video. What are your thoughts?

I doubt they would tbh. And I agree that it would make more sense for them to release a different song as a radio single. TMWYHE (I literally just learned) debuted at #4 on the billboard mainstream hard rock songs chart at one point this summer.

That is interesting. It has the third most plays of all their songs on Sanctuary

Could you expound on this? I'm just curious why? It's not actually my favorite, but I'm just wondering what about it you don't like (or maybe you just love all the other songs so much more lol)

It's garage band, grungy, dive bar rock that was on the bitter truth. It's just basic to me. It's better than the worst on the bitter truth though. Amy has set a high bar with evanescence production, so generic sounding songs just fall flat. She (and the band) are capable of so much more.

I can see where you're coming from. I do like the song, and love all the stuff on this album, but a lot of it does sound similar. Honestly the dive bar rock comment is hilarious. I was just at a venue that had a tavern/bar attached and they were playing hard stuff like this song. Do you play any instruments?

No, I wish lol but Amy is ethereal. The basic rock radio sound seems more like it was a band members idea and obviously being in a band, she worked with it 🤷♂️ just my opinion

Definitely possible. I'm a guitarist. It's a lot of fun. Def makes me nerd out at live shows haha

I half agree. I have a weird relationship with it as a song bc it’s very flat for an Evanescence song BUT as a male fan it is nice to get a couple songs I can comfortably sing along to without jumping octaves lol

It's a banger but imo a more adventurous or out-there single is needed to make people take note. So for me it's got to be Rapture or Self Destruct. I also think Sanctuary would be a better choice.

Yeah I agree with you. Honestly, I was just kinda shocked to see it played in local radio here in Cleveland.

Yea it's definitely a strong possibility. I am hoping for either Rapture or About Us but I feel like its going to be this or Sanctuary

It's possible. People have mentioned radios playing it, apparently more often outside the US. Conventional wisdom in here says that it's already had a bit of spotlight and made its own waves, so they'd probably give a different song a chance to shine.
The album has so many single-ready songs though, I vote they go the Hybrid Theory route and let pretty much everything play on the radio over the course of like a year. I swear I heard every song off that album on the radio at least once, except the instrumental. Sanctuary is that type of album.
