Is it a hit or miss?

I voted miss. It's just like an Adele B Side. Think of the RUN cover..then think of this? Not really in the same league. I want her to do well but this is forgettable.

Maybe she needs to start of with a duet or something to get people talking. Maybe a cover of I know him so Well with Michelle McManus or Lulu

You are completely wrong. A lot of Leona fans including myself hate X factor. But leona is a great artist and she now isn't associated with Simon Cowel at all .

I really like it, thank god she's escaped from Cowell's clutches. I like the song it's is very catchy and her new label look like they actually have a clue.

I've pre-ordered the single.

I think we can assume that the live performances won't include a gospel choir and dry ice

Run is totally different. It's a ballad and wasn't the first single. Zero point in comparing them.

Fire Under My Feet is incredible.

It's at #86 on iTunes off pre orders alone. Leona doesn't need to duet with no Pop Idol reject. Nice try though. Ha.

Agreed. The video and title are crap too. I do kinda like the song though, maybe its a grower. I didn't like One More Sleep at first either.

After all this hype its a little disappointing. Hope the rest of the album is better.

From the snippets I thought I'd immediately love it but it hasn't really hit me yet. The bridge just disrupts the flow and seems out of place to me. Also her diction is poor and I don't like the screechy "yeah yeah yeah" bits. It is very catchy though.

I really want her to do well, but I don't like this at all. Considering it's her big comeback with a new label, the video is awful...it looks really cheap. As for the song itself, it's catchy, but the production on it is terrible and it sounds like a song Adele would have rejected off her second album. I was expecting something fresh, something exciting, an interesting direction from her. This doesn't do it for me at all.

Reminds me of a cheap copy of "Rolling In The Deep" which is annoying as LeLe is so much better than this. It has been pretty much the story of her career though that her material doesn't do her voice justice.

It's a hit for me as I really love the song. This song has been in my head since that first snippet was shown back in December it's a relief to hear it in full.

I'm not sure I understand the 'Rolling in the Deep' comparisons as it doesn't sound anything like it to me.

Looking forward to hearing the rest of the tracks from the new album.

With the way people on here were hyping it up (I know she has her own fan club on here mind) I was expecting something a lot less bland on my first few listens.

Hope she does well though with her new stuff, great voice and a nice girl.

Really? As far as I'm aware all you've ever done on DS is make threads and comment about how much you think Leona is overrated.

It's quite funny, actually.

Never trust the ones that say "I want her to do well" - a quick search through some of their previous posts will always tell you otherwise!
