Just watched this video of an interview w/ Greyson at that Variety Power of Youth event he went to this weekend. He confirms that HOTTN will be the third single off of HOTTN. He said it was just released. Maybe they will be filming a music video for it sometime soon before he leaves for his overseas trip.
What do you guys think of HOTTN as the next single?

That's good, Honestly I don't understand why anyone would release a single if it was already released on an album, but oh well. Excited to see the new stuff

I don't really understand how it all works, but a mainstream radio station can't just pick up a copy of the HOTTN album and play a random song off of it no matter how popular Greyson is or how much fans request it. They are only going to play the songs released as singles. Perhaps they can only play the songs released as singles??

I'm sad in a way that he chose HOTTN. As I have said before, I think Heart Like Stone is a better song for radio airplay. But hey, what do I know? It's his career and his right to choose.

I'm sure we'll see a 4th single off of the album in the next few weeks. Singles work to drive album sales. A majority of the time, they are also accompanied by a music video. There will be some released before the album, to generate publicity, and some released afterwards to remind people that it's out. Plus, yeah, it pretty much needs to be put out as a single to be heard on the radio.

After Mapender's mention of a Singapore stop for Greyson, I checked out 91.3FM in Singapore. I see they have HOTTN listed as new on their Top 30 list of song choices.
Greyson must have a lot of fans there because in looking back, both Waiting Outside the Lines and Unfriend You were in the top 10 on the list at one time or another. That was in competition with all of the big names on the U.S. charts.

I think the next single will only be the third - not the fourth. HOTTN will most likely be the third single accompanied by a video.

Another clip from Variety's Power Of Youth event where Greyson says HOTTN is his new single. He also says look for some "new stuff" by which I think/hope he means songs.

You know what I would love to see as a single? Within The Lights. I'm not sure about anyone else but Within The Lights, I think, is one of the best songs Greyson has written and I think it could be really nice when re-worked and done in-studio. For those of you who have forgotten

I don't know if either of the songs would make good "singles" material, but Within the Lights (btw is that even the name of the song or did I make that up? hard for me to remember now) and Past are two of my favorite Greyson songs. I also really like Stars and I hope he does save that one are records it when he gets a little bit older and has a deeper voice.

Well, he never did say what the official name of the song was But I think Within The Lights is a good name for it. He's only ever performed it once which was the YouTube HQ performance and the audio in that video is from that. And thanks g4g
