, which leaves her in depression.
The power ballad was premiered on October 3, 2008 via Pittsburgh radio station WAMO and became the second and final single to precede the album upon its release to U.S. radios on October 15, 2008. Never released outside North America

gave the song a positive review, stating: "An old radio wives' tale says that a good ballad will carry an artist through the winter months – and up the charts. As such, Brandy follows her comeback single "Departed
" with another slow burn about loss. But this time, her lyric details a long-distance relationship and how difficult it is to go on while her beau is away. The piano-driven track is peppered with layered vocals from the songstress. It's refreshing to hear Brandy's voice again and equally heartwarming to see she and Rodney Jerkins reunite creatively." Talia Kraines, writing for BBC Music
, described the song as the soundtrack to "a heartbreaking moment on a Grey's Anatomy
finale" stating that the "understated ballad is just as good as [
" and should be a global hit, beating with surging strings and tenderness."
Jon Pareles
, writing for The New York Times
described "Long Distance" as "a hymnlike single that distantly echoes Janet Jackson
’s "Again
." Nick Bond from MTV Australia
called the song "the album's safest moment" and sumed it as a "bombastic piano ballad worthy of Whitney Houston
." Sarah Rodman of The Boston Globe
praised the "warmer, more organic" structure of the song, which she found distinguished from the rest of the Human album, and noted that the song "brings out the expressive best in Brandy's pleasantly raspy vocalizing." By contrast, Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine
criticized the song's "attempt at recapturing Brandy's past successes," and further wrote that it "sounds like a cliché power ballad that could have been sung by Phil Collins
or Peter Cetera
in the '80s as the theme for some big Hollywood popcorn flick."
for the song was actually expected to be shot by Norwegian
director Ray Kay
in the week October 20, 2008, the actual clip for "Long Distance" was eventually filmed by Chris "C-Rob" Robinson
on November 6, 2008 in Los Angeles, California
. Executive produced
by Amanda Fox for Robot Films, it was Brandy's second video be directed by Robinson, who had previously worked with her on 2002's "Full Moon" music video. Both Mars and Lawrence appear as pianist
s in a sequence of the clip. As Robinson confirmed in a behind-the-scenes
interview with Rap-Up magazine, the concept of the video is basically about performance
. Willed to create a clip as cinematic as he had considered the lyrics of the song be, C-Rob chose the "opulent" Park Plaza Hotel to depict his vision of taking Brandy "through the feeling of missing the person she's in love with."
The black and white video starts of with Brandy sitting at her dresser in her empty dressing room looking in the mirror, putting on a ring, and putting on make-up while she is thinking about her boyfriend (unknown). This part of the video is combined with scenes of Brandy spending time with her boyfriend. The second part of the video shows Brandy singing in front of restaurant while her boyfriend is over by the bar. Brandy is telling (singing to) him that she can't be home but she will be home soon. Then he goes over to her and touches her on the face. Then, the camera zooms out of this part of the video to find that it's something that Brandy is watching in a picture frame
in her room, which catches on fire while she is singing the second half of the second chorus of the song. Then from the bridge of the song to the end of the video, it goes into color while Brandy is standing in between a row of red curtains
while it's raining. Then at the end of the video, some of scenes reverse (in color). The video ends with Brandy looking into her dresser mirror.
The music video premiered on PerezHilton.com on December 1, 2008, where it was described as "Whitney
circa the '90s (the Babyface
era)." Upon its television debut, it came in at number nine on BET
's 106 & Park
countdown on December 22, 2008, and peaked at the top position on January 14, 2009 where it held the number-one spot for an entire week.
