This came on at the gym today and actually I think it was hugely overlooked. Its pretty much a perfect song with a great message and insanely catchy. I think its up there with "call me maybe".

But it looks like it didn't sell many copies outside uk and wasn't one of the biggest hits in the uk that year.

Its very underrated.

It's a fun song but the theme of it is a tad tired and her voice sounds a bit shrill on the chorus. But I really like the verses and the middle 8 is gorgeous. Some of the best vocals I've heard Cheryl achieve.

I agree, it's a really good song. Probably due to Bonnie McKee (one of the writers). She has a pretty amazing list of songwriting credits: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...y_Bonnie_McKee

I think it should have been the lead single from Only Human. I know Crazy Stupid Love did really well, but it's a terrible song.

An intensely irritating song, with reallygrating vocals, which made me yearn for Transvision Vamp, which is not something I ever thought I'd do.

Who do you want laughing at you - Bender from Futurama or J Jonah Jameson from Spider-Man 2?

its awful. and i say that as a pop fan, and actually a casual cheryl fan, i liked her work on 3 Words and A Million Lights but everything else shes done is just kak. Theres a reason she has limited international success...

Sorry but like all of her out put save for Call My Name and 3 Words it is basic at best. How she has 5 number 1's including this is beyond me. It's a cliche ridden, badly produced mess, and her voice or lack there of just compounds it's awfullness. Sorry will have to disagree, a basic song from one of the UK's least talented and most basic artists.

Well obviously not.
Try listening to the new Chase and Status/Slaves song, Control, and come back to me.

I Don't Care is a brilliant instrumental.

Sadly they then got Cheryl to record vocals which meant pitch shifting her singing to fit the key of the song and ruined it.

Really, really not OP. I didn't know the song so just googled and listened and it's generic, watered down pop pretending to be dance pap with weak vocals.

If it wasn't for the fact Cowell has rammed her down the nations throats, she wouldn't have had anything like the success she's had and wouldn't have got as far as releasing this crud

Best records ever? no.

It's a great song, one of my fave's of that year, very very catchy but it doesn't topple her other singles FFTL or Parachute for me.

OP, have you perhaps considered counselling of some kind?

Or perhaps ear syringing?
