What do you think?

Much better than 30 Days. Not sure if it'll be a hit in the US, though.

It sounds like a bad Rihanna demo

They should release All Fired Up, Higher or a 2012 shared vocal version of Up in the USA.

Not really feeling this..hope it's a grower though.
imo they need to step away from dance and come back with a solid pop album with songs like up/Issues/Higher.

Honestly, too much Rochelle, and why is she putting on that silly Jamaican accent?
And where is Una?!
To me it seems that their label has made them do the most generic, commercial sounding song they can just to get radio play, a smart idea for short term success, but it wont work long term.
They should re-record some of their older hits like Up and Higher and release those instead, pop is getting quite big in the States these days.

The chorus doesnt have enough "oomph", I miss them all singing together.

Is this the actual studio version? It's catchy but it'll probably grow on me over time. As much as I liked their dance stuff like All Fired Up, I wish they'd go back to their Chasing Lights sound. That was their best album IMO.

The chorus is the best part of the song imo

Nope this version isn't official ... It's a remix.
I've heard the official version - it's very similar with less beat, more melody and no long intro

Isn't this version just an extended intro and outro version?

After not really liking it when I first the song, I love it now
It reminds me of a hot summer's evening

It was released in Ireland today I prefer the Saturdays-only version to the Sean Paul version but I bought it anyway to help support them. The song itself has grown on me but I still prefer their pop stuff.

It'll take them more than that extra day to match these:

I wasn't sure about it at first, but do really like it now.
It almost feels like it's back to the good old days of the Saturdays after a few forgettable songs.
