Promotional single?

edit

Not sure why this has suddenly been deemed as a promotional single? This kind of stuff seems to always be of debate when it comes to Kylie. The song was the second single from the Guest List Edition of DISCO. It was confirmed by Kylie as a single, and even had a press release when the song came out (The press release in question). Not to mention it was released to more than one radio format, plus received a video and one promotional performance. Additionally, it also received other promotional pieces and interviews, with both Kylie and Jessie involved (i.e. behind the scenes of the video shoot, interviews with Capital Dance and Lorraine Kelly). This was an official single. 173.34.224.178 (talk) 21:23, 29 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

And just to give examples, the song meets the following criterion in regards to defining singles:
Any of the following factors suggest a song is a single:
- The song was referred to as a single by the record label releasing it - There was a press release, and it was confirmed by Kylie herself.
- The song was serviced to radio stations with an official add date - Serviced to Capital Dance and BBC Radio 2. Granted, this may have been at their own discretion vs the labels. Regardless, the song meets other criterion.
These factors, coupled with the radio play and promotion the song got, should be enough to classify it as a single.
