      Release controversy


      Hard2Beat Records announced that Until I Die was due to be released on 27 July 2009, as the third single from her debut UK album, Cry For You - The Album in a new remixed version done by Dave Ramone. However, it has been announced that the song's release has been cancelled due to lack of radio play. Rumours circulating the internet suggest that the song failing to make BBC Radio 1's playlist resulted in Hard2Beat scrapping the release. It was also stated that BBC Radio 1 refused to add it on their playlist, causing it to be cancelled.
      However, it was released in the United Kingdom physically and digitally not long after.
