Status

In my opinion "Free Woman" should be labled as promotional single, since all remix releases (i.e. "I Don't Search I Find" [before it's radio release] or "Consideration") are considered as promotional single releases. infsai (dyskusja) 13:24, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Credit?

"Alexander Ridha – songwriter" is mentioned in the Credits/personnel section, but not the infobox or article body? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:38, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
