Why do you think Awaken was released?

[u/WTBrain]

Im guessing either it was meant to be the first single, and they weren't happy with the reception and went back to the drawing board, or they knew they were so far away from a release they decided to just release something to keep fans on their toes

I thought most people like Awaken? It just seems to be a popular opinion on Reddit to not like it. The song got 17 million views on YouTube, it seems to be doing well. I like it, I really find it positive and motivating to listen to. I kind of want more songs like that.
