Stevie is very kind and sweet and lovely and all, but I wouldn't doubt for a moment that she had the foresight to look out for herself since she obviously had no other avenue with Fleetwood Mac for the income a hit single would have generated at that period of time in the music business. I don't see anything wrong with that, though. When I See You Again and Welcome To the Room...Sara certainly were not going to drive up album sales, and didn't stand a chance at being released for a single with a video that got heavy rotation. Just speculation, obviously, as until Sandy or Stevie talks about it, we won't really know.
But, I wouldn't be surprised if the decision was purely one made to financially benefit Stevie, who until then, was an unstoppable source for a hit singles under the Fleetwood Mac name.

Me either... And she was full of herself, an entitled rock star... A lot them are like that. Elvis wanted total songwriting credit from Dolly Parton to record I Will Always Love You and she said no. Thank god because Whitney made that song a phenomenon and she made a fortune. Beyoncé got songwriting credit for Bootylicous and someone else wrote it.
