Its ok, I get an early Kelly Clarkson vibe about her (which is a good thing).

It's grand; very paint by numbers, I suppose. I can't specifically fault it, but I can't specifically praise it either...

I'm dissapointed by this video, I love the track itself but I just don't think the video compliments the song. It reminds me of Tulisa's Young video meets an episode of The Hills.

Something about Amelia Lily's voice never sat quite right with me....she sings in such a monotone sort of way and this song highlights that. She needs more light and shade.

Generic as all get out. I mean girl in car with a bunch of other girls whom she doesn't know and ends up on a beach. How many times has this been done? Oh yet and let's not the obligatory hot guys prancing around on said beach when girls turn up after flirting and shopping. Like a bad episode of Sex and the city.

Don't fault the girl can sing but imagination was truly lost when making this video I am afraid.

Bland video for a bland song.

Yes she is. Joint deal with Syco and Xenomania. That's why it says "Simco Limited under exclusive license to Sony Music Entertainment UK Limited" under the video - Simco being Simon Cowell's company.

Well she's not listed on here http://www.simoncowellonline.com/#/syco/4560890384

I was expected more from the video, but it's good.

Loving the song, but the video isn't great. Hopefully it won't affect it's performance in the charts.

I just can't get into this. It feels like an album track that I would always skip, not a lead single. It's just so bland.

I really liked Amelia on X-Factor and was hoping for something much better. Hopefully the album is good, though.

I'm not sure about the video. I mean, the beach party and the scenes with the other two girls aren't things I would've associated with the song

I guess I was expecting her on some mountain, looking back on a previous tumultuous relationship.

I like the song, but it is rather dull. I was expecting her debut song to be something more "punchy".

I agree with CharlieHills & Super Roux. It's not a video I'd associate to the song and it doesn't compliment or adds to the feelings you get from the monotonous beat of the tune. The lyrics are quite mature for a 16yo and there's something slightly sinister about her singing style so I'd have expected a video with a bit of an edge and dark undertones. Not something as bland as this.

Do you think this will be a florrie type album?

The song grew on me but I think she and xenomania is capable of more.

The song's alright. Bit repetitive and doesn't really go anywhere... but it's OK. I think it's probably a grower. I expected more though.

Video is just so predictable.

Agree with those who say she's a bit like Kelly Clarkson mixed with Christina Aguilera. But at the moment I don't think she has much star quality. She doesn't grab you.

As a former Amelia Lily fanatic I gave it the thumbs down. Certainly not my cup of tea in the slightest and I really anticipated a lot more from her.

The video is too generic for my liking and the lyrics as well as the tune itself is horribly repetitive to say I'm afraid. It seems as if her vocals have been pitch corrected as it sounds rather robotic, yet it's monotonous concurrently. It's a shame really as I liked her singing voice whilst performing on the X Factor, but I simply couldn't abide her tendencies to shout or scream which I interpreted as excruciable.

Disappointing and bland, nothing exactly wrong or right with it. Would have hoped she would be more the "Rock Chick"?

The song is ok I guess - but I can see why some would call it bland. It doesn't build up into a big powerful finish and the verses just casually blend into the chorus. There's no pay-off with this song.

The video is as generic as they come. I don't have to go over it as we've all seen it at this point. But a bland enough song probably deserves an equally bland enough video.

It's a shame because I was a fan of Amelia on The X Factor. But, even though she had a great voice, she never oozed star quality.
