David Cook, Season 7 winner of American Idol, released a new single Friday.

“Gimme Heartbreak,” the lead single from an upcoming EP, hit digital music sites Friday morning.

And fans clearly approve.

The song was number 57 on the iTunes pop singles chart at 10 a.m. An hour later, it had already climbed to number 54.

Some of the fan feedback from David’s Facebook page:

Dinna Respati: More darker moody vibes, please!!! (Not sure what that says about me but who cares.)

Destiny Whiddon: This makes my heart so happy ? it’s so great, it’s something different but definitely suits you. I’ve been counting down the hours.

David hasn’t announced a release date for the EP, but said it should be out in the fall.
