I like it! Sounds very modern, reminds me of the Pussycat Dolls.

Whoops! Fixed the link. Danity Kane demoed the song.

sounds ok i suppose, but the trouble is that everyone from Britney to Christina to Janet Jackson to Rihanna are doing this style of music...and Brtiney and Rihanna are doing it far better than the others IMO

Is it officially the first single off the new album then? I know their have been rumours.

I do like it. Total break away from her past solo stuff.

I can't wait for the video. Hope it does well but sadly I doubt it.

Oh I do really like it. Not sure about the Britney, Christina or Rihanna comparisons from above. This does sound very 1999/2000 r&b which is what she said it would be. I love the 'I'm British!'

It sounds alright, would be nice if she sung abit more and not rapping-ish. The beat is good and I fear it has been wasted on this mediocore song...

Just keep doing a search on youtube. I'm quite excited by it now actually. If she gets the promo and video right it could do well for her. Although I won't hold my breath as solo Spice's find it hard to chart thesedays but this new album from Mel could well be the best solo Spice work ever. I hope she doesn't forget the UK while promoting it. If she pays too much attention to the USA then it's not going to be a hit in Europe.

It's alright, I wanted something a little more. But I think it's a grower.

I've always thought Mel B did the best videos. I Want You Back and Word Up were both great.

Worldwide. But her main promo will be in the USA which will probably hit her UK and European sales hard unless she gets radio backing but I think she will with this. It's very Radio 1.

Confusion over the release date is rife. The album is confirmed for 19th January. But some say this single is out December 8th which is very wrong in my opinion. That's a massive space between single and album. So I'm guessing it's not out as a single until early Jan and the video will debut in about a month for early December. This track doesn't hit radio for a few weeks yet.

Not actually half bad, But she really should have that start edited out before releasing it to radio, all that.....yeah im british rubbish. There's a really good track in there if she could get it out. Could do well, sounds very current, but then it could just as easily be ignored by the mainstream.

Got a feeling it will flop though, it needs a really good video, cos the song is catchy after a few listens and I like her rapping too.

I hope it doesn't flop. If it gets to the Radio 1 A or B playlist then I'm pretty sure it will be definately reach the top 10 (maybe a #1) because it's an excellent single. So it all depends on the people in charge of Radio 1.

I agree sadly. I don't build my hopes up anymore with solo Spice stuff doing well. I just enjoy it now for what it is and I am just thankfull they still release stuff for the fans who do buy it..

Several of the tracks on Mel C's last album 'This Time' could have been number 1 in the UK but it didn't get the attention it deserved.

This track was just amazing

But I think Mel B has the best chance of re-starting her solo career to a good new market if she can get all the promo and video right. That's the important factor. She needs to connect to the youth of today. If she can do it she is onto a winner.

This is a radio friendly song so fingers crossed they do pick it up.
