Love it, and I am most definitely NOT Will's target audience. Great Northern Soul vibe to it.

As a mega fan i think...

It's good, but to be honest after 4 years i was expecting much better.

I think the music video will make the song to be honest.

Although i must say it is fresh, modern, a new sound for Will, and very very catchy. Maybe my expectations were too high... But on the whole 'good' just not 'excellent'.

And who is in charge of the artwork, flipping heck that single artwork is AWFUL!

I am a huge Will supporter, one of my fave artists. It's a good record. But for Will i expect everything to be outstanding...

I like Will and seen him in concert a couple of times - loved the Echoes album, probably a tie for favourite with Friday's Child. Think this new song will take a few listens to grow on me but I love that he always comes back with something completely different to before - it's reminding me of when I heard Switch It On at first - was a bit 😕 after the Friday's Child era but I now absolutely love that track.

His vids are always very intriguing too so looking forward to seeing it

It's growing me but I was expecting something better tbh. I think something along the lines of Brandon Flowers' new song could have been good for Will.

Loved his last album but this sound doesn't excite me at all. That retro soul sound Feels very like a step backwards to me. He's done it before but better.

Another fantastic video from Mr Young. It really enhances the song and delivers a message. So many artist's vids have little thought to them. Never the case with Will. Surprised his videos haven't won awards, though they have been nominated but lost out to inferior videos in my opinion. Welcome back Will.

Yes it's such a good video, I've watched it a few times and it really complements the song and vice versa.

I laugh out loud at his expression at the end every time.

I don't think there's much of a song there, to be honest, but at least he is singing a little lower this time round. Sly And The Family Stone's "Dance To The Music" is a definite influence.

Will's best music videos are Come On, Let It Go, Who Am I, Friday's Child heck all of em are fab! but those in particular stand out..!!

The single has really grown on me, ridiculously catchy.

However i find it abit shocking it's only garnered 20,000 views on You tube after over 24 hours thats quite poor actually. I find that a little concerning i do feel that going away 4 years might have been too long to be honest and the interest in general apart from the core fans and pop music fans doesn't seem to be there as much - i hate to admit this..Even the Shayne Ward has nearly 200k views Maybe Universal need to promote the music video? I would have thought Will tweeting it on FB and Twitter alongside it being on several news sites would have got it a lot of views but doesn't seem so at all.....I do think we'll be looking at lower album sales Echoes was a mega success.. Only 6,000 plays on Spotify...! WOW that is low.

Who normally watches youtubes repeatedly, isn't it mainly kids? Fans will have already downloaded the song themselves and will be itching for the album to come out.

It's four years since he recorded Echoes so he will have some work to do to gather interest I'm sure but there are plenty of people out there who have bought his albums in the past who are potential customers if he wants to appeal to them.

He's recording another video today apparently. Presumably for single no 2.
