Talk:Naked (Ava Max song)

Song or promotional single?
I would like to know if "Naked" is either a song with a music video or a promotional single. When "Naked" was released, several articles described it as a single. Besides, in a past biography made by Atlantic Records itself, the song was described as a single, too. It is clear that it is not a single because it was not promoted as such. However, I wonder if it is a promotional single because even though it was not released before the album, it still had a music video and appeared in playlists on different countries.

 * Although I am neutral about either statement regarding the song, promotional singles used to be distributed to radio stations prior to the album's release without being distributed physically or commercially to consumers. Streaming and digital downloads now tend to blur the lines between what constitutes as a promotional single or standalone release, as Max has stated in several publications that she doesn't consider songs to be "singles" or "promotional singles" but as a standalone song. This has made it difficult to pinpoint whether any song in Heaven & Hell is actually considered as a single or promotional release, as the concept in the streaming age has been repeatedly used by hip hop acts, and artists such as Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift. Wikipedia's promotional single article does not give a concrete definition on classifying a song, while I have seen edit-warring cases on several album articles about this issue. I would personally leave the article the way it is as a song from the album, and wait for a WP:RFC once other editors become involved or if there is constant edit-warring on the article. — Angryjoe1111 (talk) 13:53, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
