Oh dear! It's terrible, seriously horrible. It sounds like someone someone has recorded at home and remixed it with Euro dance. It sounds very dated, too.

I'm not a fan of theirs but I listened but this is very bad.

i thought Boom Boom Pow sounded awful, but it was near enough a global chart topper and one of the hugest singles of 2009! alongside I Gotta Feeling and Meet Me Halfway.

Haven't heard this song yet myself but i am sure whatever it is it'll be in the top 5 no matter what because their fanbase has grown with their last album (i mean i hated them before The END! and now i like them!)

I like it apart from the 'I've had the time of my life' bit, it just turns it from a decent dance song into a cheap eurodance sounding piece.

As someone else said, I thought Boom boom pow was rubbish at first, still don't think it's brilliant but it did really grow on me.

This will be absolutely massive though, can see a lot of girls loving it due to the dirty dancing connection. Reckon it'll be number 1 for a few weeks at least.

Not what I was expecting. I think this will grow on me. Don't like the original 'Time Of My Life' song, but I suppose it's catchy. I like the beat, currently listening it it on my laptop so it'll sound much better with my proper speakers. Anyway still looking forward to their album.

Sampling the Dirty Dancing classic '(I've Had) The Time of My Life'.

It's awful. Really, really bad! And autotune - again!!! Which makes it sound even worse!

I'm sorry but by BEP standards this song is shit!

That use of sample is awful.

I mean despite the fact it doesn't add to the song whatsoever and sticks out like a sore thumb, it's not even a clever use of sampling. It's just singing the hook of another song acapella and badly.

Not remotely close to the level of the E.N.D singles, but still with the overly autotuned vocals and borrowed production.

Though, at least Will.I.Am is wearing his sampling of other songs on his sleeve here, rather than keeping it under wraps, which makes a change.

I agree, it's the use of the sample that completely puts me off it. It's like they had the song then thought 'right we need to put something on here that everyone knows'.

it just makes it 10x cheesier.

This'll be huge, I am not sure what I think of it yet, but it's obvious that it'll be loved by the general masses.

I just heard a bit of this and I'm

It's awful! I'm not a huge fan of 'The time of My life' but the autotuned sampling makes it even worse. The second time I listened to it and my skin crawl but knowing my luck it's going to be a hit and will stay in the charts for 20 weeks.

It does sound very Eurodance circa 1995, but that might be because the US haven't really caught on to dance music until very recently so I expect more of the awful samples and autotuned 'music' as people jump on the 'dance' music bandwagon.

To the US and all these urban artists, 'dance' music is David Guetta and only David Guetta.

THIS IS TERRIBLE.

Waste of a good timeless classic.

They're use of autotune is terrible, and it's just, well, bad!

I love the BEP's but I listened to this a few days ago and thought that its easily their worst single ever. And one of their worst songs overall. I'm surprised this is the lead single for their next album, surely there has to be something better from it?

My reaction was the first 6 letters of your username! I've heard it on local radio 3 times now and it gets worse with each listen. As a general plea to all recording artists, STOP WITH THE AUTOTUNE! It got old with Cher's "Believe" and hasn't improved with time...
