This is their new single.

I actually liked "Vulnerable" but this is HORRIBLE. It sounds like a Richard Marx ballad from the 80's but with horrible horrible whiney vocals that sound like some nobody singing in the shower.

Billboard review:

Fall for You
SECONDHAND SERENADE
Producer(s): Butch Walker
Genre: POP
Label: Glassnote/ILG

Coming off a whirlwind year of discovering the limelight, top unsigned MySpace act and MTV-embraced band Secondhand Serenade previews sophomore set "A Twist in My Story" with stellar launch single "Fall for You." Riveting emotion explodes from this piano-driven ballad, as John Vesely's scorching vocal conjures a tale of patching things up with a lover after a fight: "Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you over again/ Don't make me change my mind/ Or I won't live to see another day/Because a girl like you is impossible to find." Take this track for a spin and break bad with one of the most promising acts of the year.—Alex Vitoulis

Riveting emotion explodes? LMMFAO. Sure.

That sounds like a Chuck Taylor review!

Those lyrics sound horrid.

Liked the first album and holding out hope for the new one (drops Feb 19th), but haven't been blown away by either song released yet (the title track hit iTunes yesterday).

people have been requesting this non-stop i heard this 6 times yesterday i didn't like this at first but now i really like it

[cactus tree]

Judging by satellite radio i'd swear this was already a hit.

I do like this. They performed it on Jimmy Kimmel a few weeks ago.

[The Music Man]

Didn't make an impact on first listen, second time it sounds like a potential hit. Actually, it sounds like "It Ends Tonight" more than anything else. I'm not amazed, but I'll leave it if it comes on the radio.

[Punchanello]

I'm tired of solo acts giving themselves "band" names. Its so confusing.

[The Music Man]

Added at Z100, among a handful of others, this week. This is going to be another slow burner hit, isn't it? It's already hung around for a little bit...

[TotallyEnormousExtinctDinosaur]

Jumps from #62 to #47 on the Hot 100.

[TotallyEnormousExtinctDinosaur]

#20 on iTunes

[TotallyEnormousExtinctDinosaur]

Jumps from #47 to #35 on the Hot 100.

MAKE. IT. STOP.

[TotallyEnormousExtinctDinosaur]

I can't believe how huge this song is now. It still doesn't sound strong enough for radio to me, and I'm usually a fan of this sound.

[I'M ON ONE]

I hate this

[The Music Man]

Finally headed for the Top 10. I'm way over this now.

[TotallyEnormousExtinctDinosaur]

I can't believe this is new to the Top 10. Songs of this nature would be a little more tolerable if you weren't sick of them already weeks before they even peak. I hate how Pop radio is super slow with their token "rock" songs.

[Someone Like You]

I don't know how, but this randomly grew on me. This is the first slow pop-rock song I've liked in a good while.

How many weeks has this been at #7?

[Someone Like You]

Well, for eight weeks straight it has been either #7 or #8. Five of those weeks were at #7.
