comeback album "Older", on the new Dreamworks Records.

Were radio stations complaining about the length? Prompting the second
version. Any radio people care to chime in?

Having once worked in radio, my guess would have been
length. Perhaps, some stations complained one way or the
other and said, if the song was shorter in length, they
might add it. So, the label issued the special edit.
JimCT might have more of an insight.

I was working in top 40 radio at the time, and I don't remember our station playing the song for more than a couple weeks. It peaked at #18 on the Radio & Records CHR/Pop chart, and it was only on the chart for 7 weeks. Complaints or not, I think John is correct that it was an attempt to get stations to play it.
