I prefer the single version for a lot of reasons. I love the opening guitar line, the softer verses, the song is slowed down more so you can really relish the melody, and I especially prefer her singing to be more clear and not so distorted. I used to hate the album version but it really grew on me after a while and it fits perfectly into the context of the album if you listen to it from start to finish, definitely more so than the single version would.
But yeah, the single version is just a very well-crafted pop song. It's one of my favorite early tracks of hers.
