  1. Hey Brad,

    Well ‘Fight For This Love’ hasn’t yet been released in Australia, and given it has a bloody strong video to go with it, they’re hoping it does the trick.
    No doubt ‘Parachute’ will be the third local single.

  3. Why is “Fight For This Love” being serviced next? They are going backwards in singles chronology, as “3 Words” is followed by “Parachute”, the new single.

  4. Great news hearing that FFTL is being serviced to radio. Was getting a worried with the rumour going around that Parachute was tipped to be the next single, so a big sigh of relief.
