Talk:Need to Know (Doja Cat song)

Single???
I was Googling potential sources for this article, and I couldn't help but notice that a lot of sources refer to "Need to Know" as a single. Now, I know that Doja Cat herself has said the song is not a single, but I think that we need to decide between primary and secondary sources here, as they are contradicting each other. I am curious to hear others' opinions on this, especially since these secondary sources usually only present information that has been verified by the label.

Yeah, I saw some sources state that it’s a single as well, but Doja did confirm on her Twitter it’s not the next single. "need to know isn’t even the next single is just some s**t before the next more important single comes out for you to enjoy", and I think the sources were mistaken.

 * , I agree with both of you. The song is technically a single, yet its not as "important" as the rest of the other proper album singles (as confirmed by Doja Cat herself). This, nowadays, basically means its a promo single because its treated like an album track that's released earlier than the rest of the album. Let's wait until it gets serviced to radio before changing it to a single. — cybertrip👽 ( 💬 • 📝)  20:13, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree with you when you say to wait until it gets serviced to radio. If it does get serviced, the song should be listed as a single, as the label gets to choose which songs get promoted where. The sources could be mistaken, or Doja Cat could be the one who is mistaken. At the end of the day, it is up to the label to decide which songs become singles, so if the label always had a plan to promote this song as a single, the sources would have known about it in advance of the general public. Given the choice between the label's word and the artist's word, I would say to trust the label. But, we have no confirmation that the sources get exclusive information from the label, so it is probably best to wait to see if the song starts getting promoted as a single before listing it as a single.

 * I would agree that unless it is sent to radio/label confirms it, then we should go by the artist's word. However, it does appear the label has confirmed it as a promo single. In this RCA press release, the label notably never calls it a "single" and instead refers to it as a "track". Heartfox (talk) 05:37, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I work with Walk the Moon articles, and I agree with the notion above. Case in point, the band put out a Spotify playlist that supposedly includes all of their singles, and it does not have any song that was labeled as a track in RCA's press releases unless it got serviced to radio later like "Kamikaze".

 * RCA calls "Kiss Me More" (the lead single) a "single" in this press release, and as aforementioned by, they call "Need to Know" a track; so I think its safe to say that its not a single for the time being. — cybertrip👽 ( 💬 • 📝)  13:00, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

Commercial performance
Someone should probably start a section discussing this songs chart run since it debuted top 20 then reached the top 10...3 months later at that. It's a big hit — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.69.153.170 (talk) 03:55, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
