My favorite Leona Lewis song hands down. The production is beyond amazing, her vocals are amazing, the lyrics are great, the rhythm is stupendous, and I love the 80s influence. Akon really outdid himself when he produced this gem. Why it was never released as a US single is beyond me. It should've followed "Better In Time" instead of that dreadfully boring Avril Lavigne "cover."

Yeah it should have definitely been a single here.
I've never understood why she even does such killer uptempos if she NEVER releases them as singles. (I don't count Collide)

I don't understand why this wasn't a U.S. single either especially since it was one of the tracks recorded for the U.S. release. This and Gwen Stefani's "Sweet Escape" (which was also produced by Akon) were cut from the same cloth (SE is the better song though). This would have been a hit if they released it here.

This was awesome, and I agree that it should have been a U.S. single.  |

Hate it. Terribly uncatchy and a bad single choice, IMO.

I liked this a lot more in 2008 than I do now. It definitely should have been released third in the US instead of "I Will Be".

I think I remember hearing that they were contractually obligated to release I Will Be as a single from the album if they wanted to include it on it.
The performance of this song was seen as somewhat disappointing in the UK at the time, and Run eclipsed it there a few weeks later, but she may have had a longer career stateside if this had been pushed here.

This was an odd single choice, and it still sounds like album filler.

The song is nothing special but I like it. I remember loving the video, though.

This should have so been a US single, it was AMAZING
Still bop to this every now and then
I love I Will Be, but this was so much better and funner and would've been a good pace of change in sound for her in the US

The treatment this got was so messy, I'm not a fan of how it was ignored for US release after it was done for the US version of the album. What was the point?
