That is f*cking incredible. That track sounds hot just from the title and guests. I hope this gets released as a single at some point. I'd die if I saw Mary and Faith together in a video again.
storming around with eloquence, but damn, everyone’s got a sunny side sometimes. “Just Fine,” the lead track from her forthcoming Growing Pains, finds the singer bouncing a bit faster than usual, and declaring just how well things are going. It’s fairly irresistible. “No time for moping around,” she coos, “no time for negative vibes,” ultimately rocking an “ooooh” that rivals Michael Jackson’s classic exclamations.
Growing Pains features collabos with Maroon 5 and Ne-Yo. But “this isn’t about throwing junk together. I want to amaze people,” she told Blender. “I’m constantly looking toward the new kids, like Rihanna, for inspiration; keeps me on my game.”
VH1 is premiering the “Just Fine” video on Thursday, October 26, starting at 6 am. Catch it once an hour through 10 am. Here’s a little tease from the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul herself. Get the big picture in Mary J’s Box Set..
I love, love "Just Fine." It's great to hear Mary singing something uptempo again. The production is sick and she sounds great on the track. I hope it's a big hit. The video is pretty good, too.
Like DoubleD said, it's fantastic to hear Mary singing some up tempo stuff again, and what I like about this one is that it sounds so much more different from anything that she's ever done before. She's experimenting with new things here and it's working great.
I also like that album cover a lot, and it comes out on December 11th? She's very smart. Her 2nd consecutive release of all-new material that will hit shelves during the holiday season. She'll definitely have a big opening week that should hold up steadily for at least a month to see the remainder of the holiday season out.
And the video is HOT!!!
She's really recreated her image with this one, and it's been a long time coming. She'll see more longevity because of it too.

I'm one Mary's biggest fans and I like the fact that she has put some uptempo,sunnier tracks on this lp.Some may not agree,but it's good she's going for a change.
"Just Fine" is #92 on the Hot 100 and #19 on the R&B Charts.
What the hell is taking this song so long to crack the top 10?
I thought for sure it'd be a smash hit for her considering it's a pop track that sounds like it would appeal to the masses.
I guess there's still time but it's moving very, very, VERY slowly. I wonder if they actually will rush release the 2nd single before the album comes out.

I noticed this too, I was thinking maybe the video would help the track out (it probably still can). Its doing ok, but it should be doing better...im guessing if the song doesnt start to pick up speed within the next 2 weeks they may go ahead and get that 2nd single out. I like "Just Fine" but its reviews are people either hate it or love it... and for some its a "its growing on me" track...we'll see

And I don't even like Mary.
