I forgot how bloody amazing a pop song this one was. I wonder why they didn't release it as a single. Its easily ten times better than the other three singles from that albums era.

I love this song, possibly my favourite Girls Aloud track! Tangled Up is a brilliant pop album.

Speaking of Girls Aloud songs that should've been a single, I'd also include Memory Of You which really shouldn't have been a b-side. This was a missed opportunity imo.

Yeah I would agree with that, everything about that era was perfect from the singles to the tour

Close to love I also like from the album, likewise with control of the knife

Never got the blackjacks love though

Really? Ten times better than Call The Shots?!!


No, it really isn't.

It is to my ears. Call the Shots is boringly overrated.

A better question is why didn't they release On The Metro?

Agree totally. Girl Overboard would've been a better single than Can't Speak French. I really liked Control of the Knife and Close to Love, although I'm not sure if they are single-worthy.

Probs because the two singles they released before were hardly hits. Something New may of made the top 10 but it had a short chart run and Beautiful cause you love me only peaked at 92

That song should at least have been on Out of Control and maybe it should have been a single after or instead of The Loving Kind. Their albums have some real gems on them and their b-sides are also rare gems for the most part.
