I’m hearing from a good source that the name of David Archuleta’s new single is “Something ‘Bout Love”. The song will be available on DavidArchuleta.com on July 13th and will be made availble on iTunes July 20th!

“Something ‘Bout Love” is from David’s 3rd studio album, set to be released later this year.

    Thanks mj! You rock and eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!

  • abbysee

    Oooooh! Can’t wait.

  • KathyH

    Been expecting to hear exactly this. Now I’m expecting to be wowed. Can not wait.

  • tinawina

    Okay, now I’m excited! :D

  • Pam

    Yipeee! I can’t wait to hear it! :)

  • ggdoorsfan

    ok, time for a little spazz… finally… a name to go with the song… oh man, excited to hear it….

  • windmills

    I’m excited to hear this! I’ve always liked Archie’s voice. I don’t know how big a radio impact he’ll make in that IMO he’s in the awkward position of being more sophisticated than CHR but being too young for the HAC format. But I hope the song’s good and he catches on in a big way.

  • ggdoorsfan

    i’m forming no expectations, trying harder than hard not to… just want to hear it… just hear what david is bringing… oooo, want to know who the writers are on this one – if it’s an eman/claude kelly or dapo/priscilla renae thing, if it’s one david helped write – i guess it’s hurry up and wait on that…

  • Kris

    I was wondering if this was the title after it was taken off his website. Now I want to know who are the writers/producers.

    we’ll have to wait and see how the song sounds, and how hard jive pushes and promotes this. they promoted ‘live like we’re dying’ into a solid hit, so we know what they can do… they are good at pushing songs to radio, and if they’re on their game, and the song is solid and takes, it’s all good… will cross that bridge when we get there – i just want to hear the dang song now, lolol…..

    That’s all true. I’d revised what I said to reflect what I really meant about Archie gravitating towards music beyond his years but you know I shouldn’t have even mentioned that side of things. This is a time to be excited and curious about how he’s grown and how the music’ll reflect that. Crush is honestly my favorite debut single from anybody from AI. IMO it hit the mark perfectly.

    Too, I can’t think of anybody in any genre right now who’s got that vocal tone Archie has. With most people you can say they sound a little like this person or that person. Not Archie IMO. For that reason alone I’m rooting for him to come back with a smash.

  • Trina

    What are the chances there will be an early leak??

    dunno trina – i kinda want to hear it, like now, but then i don’t… whatever is most beneficial for buzz, and strong sales is the one i want…

  • sma11ie

    oooo, want to know who the writers are on this one – if it’s an eman/claude kelly or dapo/priscilla renae thing, if it’s one david helped write

    I’m curious about that too! If it was an Eman/Claude Kelly or David Hodges cowrite, those are guys who may tweet clues about it prior to July 13th? I do hope it’s something Archie helped write as well. I’m really interested to hear his direction, and hearing his own writing will give me a better sense than anything, I think. Also, I just think it’s so rare that Idols get co-writes released as singles that it’d just be nice to see.

  • SashaB

    Awesome. Go Archie!

  • KathyH

    David and co. have been so tight-lipped about everything (well, except for “twitter games with eman”) so I am sort of expecting no leaks.

  • Kris

    It could be the song that David talked about that was written by Jess Cates, Claude Kelly, and Eman. David said back in April that they were thinking about it for the single. He said that he really liked the song and that the label did as well. Or it could be a completely different song.

  • ozarko

    There is almost always a leak though. How do they expect people to buy the song if they don’t know what it sounds like. So I’m betting we will hear it some how, some time before the release date. “Crush” was debuted on Z100 before it was officially released for sale wasn’t it? Well, I guess that’s not exactly a leak. What I’m saying is, we will probably hear the song before July 13th.

  • ozarko

    I was wondering if this was the title after it was taken off his website. Now I want to know who are the writers/producers.

    This title was on his website? David’s official website? I need to visit that place more often.

  • frogcooke

    According to the clues eman/claude have tweeted, the song title doesnt fit any of those… So it may not be a claude/eman track. I am curious if he co-wrote it and who the writers are for it. etc.

  • ozarko

    Maybe it’s one written by/with Victoria Horn. Remember that one time she tweeted about congratulations being in order in regards to some news from Jive, but then she quickly clammed up soon afterwards when fans pestered her about it, and she said that David’s album is top secret?

    She just retweeted David’s tweet this morning:

    RT @DavidArchie: It’s funny when people come up to you and say they have no idea who you are, and then talk about your whole life story. Odd lol. Hahaha :)

    She’s sounding awfully giddy, if you read her other tweets. Hmm.
    I’m just thinking out loud. Don’t mind me.

  • Marylee

    If I was any more excited, I think I would burst!!! Can’t wait to hear this long awaited & much anticipated SINGLE. It’s gonna’ be out of this world!!! Bring it on, David! :)

    Wouldn’t that be funny if David and victoria are tweeting lyrics to the song? Hmmm!!! Very curious, and love the suspense!

    GG, I agree! “Live Like We’re Dying” did not make any top charts as it started out, but with time and pushing it, it became a “hit”. It was a good song which just needed air time. That is the key here. And that is what so many of us are hoping and praying that Jive will do.
    David is the only teen male from Idol who has such great potential to be successful. And the last couple of years with all the teens who are making hits, they would do well to push the heck out of David’s single.

  • DarkGlamour17

    :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D the title sounds catchy <3 i'm excited to the extremeeee!!!!

  • LK10

    I am so excited for this to come out. David deserves success.

  • Kris

    ozarko, David’s website had information about a Fan package where fans could select items in the fan package or suggest ideas. One of the selected items was an engraved photo frame with Something Bout Love on it. Shortly after they posted that they took out the title and now it just says engraved photo frame. People were speculating that that was the title of the single and they made a mistake by putting it up on the website.

  • ozarko

    Thank you, Kris. That’s very intriguing.

    This could be pretty cool…

  • JudyOhio

    Sophmore album, first single from it. This is all going to make me a nervous wreck from worry,lol. I’m anxious/excited to watch this next leg of his career unfold, but at the same time am somewhat apprehensive. How will the song be received? Will it “hit” similar to Crush or be treated like ALTNOY? Will the single go up the sales and radio play charts rapidly or will it be a slow climber, or worse, will it stall out. It’s an uneasy feeling. Oh the angst! lol.

    (Don’t mind me folks, it’s my nature to worry too much from time to time, lol)

  • frogcooke

    ^lol Judy.

  • SBC

    Weeeeeeeeeee

    I am really excited to hear this single mostly because I want to see which direction David is going with his 2nd pop album. If the title MJ gave is right, I can picture this song as airy with a happy vibe. Kind like Hey, Soul Sister.

    If the 2 songs David sang recently in his concert is an indication, I can picture this album full of midtempo, even uptempo songs with a couple of power ballads (he’s got to have a power ballad in there, he is no David Archuleta for nothing)

    When I first heard Jordin’s Battlefied and Kelly’s MLWSWY, I knew it would be a hit.
    So we’ll see with this single.

    I remember this,and the cool suggestions people send to his OS, i love memorabilia stuff ha, ha , but i didn’t know that they took off the title later LOL ,ummm interesting ;)
    Anyway i think is a good name for a single and i hope is not a ballad.

  • Suzanne

    i hope is not a ballad

    I’d bet money that a song with that title is NOT a ballad. Something About Love could be a ballad, but dropping the A on “about” could work great with a quick beat but would sound . . . i don’t know . . . illiterate? on a slow song. Also, open vowel sounds are the bread and butter of a ballad. It would be counterproductive to drop one. If that’s the title, then that’s an upbeat pop song (or at least the chorus is).

  • mhel

    eeepppppppppppp!!!so excited here!!!! can’t really wait……i love the title too…wether it’s ballad or not, i’m pretty sure it’s gonna be awesome and i will support it 110%…just love and adore that dang singer:)))

    go,go david ar-choooooo-le-ta!!!!

  • frogcooke

    Yeah, I’d bet its not a ballad as well.

  • tibitibis

    If that’s the title, then that’s an upbeat pop song (or at least the chorus is).

    Yay if is an uptempo song , even if is an uptempo killer chorus only ha, ha; i really love when a song built the intensity from the start to explode in a Crazy ,Happy and Powerful chorus lol :)

  • tibitibis

    wether it’s ballad or not, i’m pretty sure it’s gonna be awesome and i will support it 110%…just love and adore that dang singer:)))

    Well me too, i love the singer LOL, but i want to love his music too ha, ha ;)

    You’re really excited don’t you? LOL ;)

  • mhel

    you bet haha!!!

  • competitivebynature

    I don’t like the ‘Bout part of the title, it’s hard to say lol, but I really hope this does well. I never liked Archie on the show, but he is just so damn cute that resistance is futile. His personality on twitter comes out so much more than on Idol, and he has really grown up. I expect this to be an uptempo song too, which will hopefully help it do well on radio. Good luck Archie!

  • frogcooke

    but he is just so damn cute that resistance is futile.

    haha its like the cat in shrek with the big eyes. haha. too cute

    ‘American Idol’: David Archuleta’s next single titled ‘Something ‘Bout Love’
    By Andrea Reiher

    June 25, 2010 6:05 PM ET

    “American Idol” runner-up David Archuleta is busy promoting his new book “Chords of Strength” and debuting new songs in concert. But he is also working on a new album and according to MJ’s Big Blog, Archie’s next single will be titled “Something ‘Bout Love.”

    The single will be available on July 13 on DavidArchuleta.com and on iTunes on July 20. Are you getting excited for Archie’s latest release? The aforementioned new album will be his third studio effort and is reportedly due out later this year, though no official date has been announced.

    The recent new songs Archie debuted were “Not a Very Good Liar” and “Parachutes and Airplanes.” We wonder why one of those isn’t the next new single? David’s next big appearance is performing in “A Capitol Fourth” on the 4th of July in Washington D.C.
