Fails WP:NSONGS. It only charted on the Hot Digital Tracks chart, which is not one of US Billboard's main charts. That aside, this song has not received significant coverage independent of album reviews/discussions, which NSONGS clearly states: Coverage of a song in the context of an album review does not establish notability.

- Redirect to Greatest Hits: My Prerogative as the song itself does not appear to have received enough coverage from third-party, reliable sources to reach the significant amount needed for a separate article. However, there is some (i.e. limited) coverage and this is a viable search term so I think a redirect would be far more valuable than an outright deletion. It's a shame since I actually love this song, but information about it could be easily contained in the article on the album. Aoba47 (talk) 20:35, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
- Keep – Is the independent coverage from sources like MTV News, Rhapsody, and the "Single Minded" Billboard article, in addition to coverage from the GH:MP reviews, really not enough to warrant a separate article? I firmly disagree and believe this articles passes WP:NSONGS. Carbrera (talk) 03:27, 10 February 2021 (UTC).
- The only okay source you listed is MTV News. I can't verify if the Rhapsody interview was existent. The Billboard "Singles Minded" section is about the songs that made chart debuts of the week, and not focusing on this song alone. Given the MTV source and (maybe) the Billboard source, there is not enough coverage for this article. There is no harm redirecting this to the album's article. HĐ (talk) 04:08, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
