Jan 29 2008 - New single announcement!

We can confirm that Leona’s next single will be a double A-side of ‘Better In Time’ and ‘Footprints In The Sand’. The beautiful new tracks will be released digitally on 9th March and physically just a day later, hitting the shelves on 10th March.



Exciting news
I really love both of these songs so I'm glad they were chosen to be released , what are your thoughts?

Oh yes!! I love Footprints in the Sand. This single is definitely going to be No 1.

Footprints in the Sand is my favourite song from her album. I think the single will do even better than Bleeding Love.

I don't think so; so many people have "Spirit" now in the UK so her sales won't be anywhere near "Bleeding Love".

Nope, if it sells a quarter of what BL has sold it will be a success

why the need to release two singles though ?

i always thought double a side tracks meant both songs weren't anticipated to sell well or not quite good, but these two obviously are.

Yeah it's a real fan-favourite, it's second in the "Favourite song" poll on her official forum and first on LeonaLewisFansite. I love the song but I don't think it's contemporary enough to be released on its own so I'm glad they've coupled it with "Better In Time".

Yes, I think that's the reason. 10 years ago FITS was what was extremely marketable. Now in today's more urban / RnB scene it isn't quite so, so tagging it with BIT is marketing genius

FITS is such a fitting song for a charity single, and BIT is marketable enough to get the single to sell well, I think they're good choices.

I will buy Footprints and better in time when they come out. I love them both loads, but I would have prefeered Homeless instead of Better in time,

Regardless, I just love Leona.

That will be the 3rd single to be released in the UK I think

That would allow them to achieve a near-simultaneous world-wide release of TAB - UK 3rd Single and World-wide 2nd single.

Better In Time/Footprints is the 3rd single, surely?

btw I'm loving the new US video to Bleedin' Love.

I meant 3rd single from the album , with TAB being the 2nd single from the album released world-wide
