Only reached #20 on the Hot 100, flopped in Europe but reached top 5 on Australia but sounded like a #1 smash. Did this bop deserved better? Was too ahead of her time for certain people?

I remember being a gay teen listening to this CD on my walkman on a hotel balcony looking at one of the great lakes. Haha. 

 

LOVE this album. 

This song felt pretty big in my country. I remember seeing the video a lot and I thought she was a new artist. 

A mega bop

Such an avant grande bop, if you got it, you got it

This whole album is bubblegum electropop perfection

I just thought about this song and her 0304 album the other day while traveling to a square similar to the one in the music video. Since then, I have been having the entire record on replay recently. It is definitely a sweet and cool piece of pop work with meaningful messages.
At that time, some of her fanbase were not ready for her image and music change, and some people even regarded it as a big sellout, which definitely left a negative impact on the single as well as the album. 
Justice for this absolute bop

This!

Intuition was played a lot on MTVAsia.

An album filled with pure pop BANGERS with CLEVER lyrics. Leave the Lights on, 2 become 1, Fragile Hearts, Stand were all the smashes that got away.

Jewel's pens (and angelic voice) are so underrated. 
Man, Jewel deserves so much better. 

It was a risky decision to release this song and album. I'm sure her fanbase felt betrayed when they heard it. Reading about how a remix of the last single from the previous album did on the dance charts motivated her to release a pop album

I'm hopeful that TikTok will revive this bop in a very random way. It has everything to get viral 

It deserved better.
 

But at the end of the day, she won. The song being used for a commercial. The royalty cheque must be good
