I mean it's great until the chorus and then it just capsizes.

It's typical Dr. Luke fodder, but the melody is very dull and monotone, which is unusual for his stuff. It sounds like they're singing one note the entire song.

They could have the potential to be big if only they were given better material.

Last Goodbye is still the best one of these acoustic-pop songs he's made, and they buried it on Warrior. Now he's just cribbing from it over and over.

I actually really like this... The chorus has been stuck in my head for the past couple days.

Correct, Last Goodbye was amazing. A real gem from that album. This one, eh, it's alright.

I have to agree with the people who say the chorus pretty much ruins the song.

This song is just overall disappointing, if they could have the kind of production they had/create a song in the style of Wild Wild Love, that would be great!

Kudos (I guess) for not sounding just like every girl group out there. However after hearing this I wish they would. (maybe i'll get used to it)

In a 5 girl supergroup isn't at least one of them supposed to be attractive?

In a 5 girl supergroup isn't at least one of them supposed to be attractive? Simone Battle (from the X Factor) is a knockout, but she looks ridiculous in the video. Lauren is hot, and while I'm not a fan of the look, Paula is a doppelganger for sex symbol Amber Rose. As for this song, there's kind of (and I can't believe I'm saying this) Pinball Wizard vibe to the intro, which is cool. The production is also top-notch. But I don't care for the Nicole Scherzinger-style vocal delivery, and the lyrics are really lame.

ABOUT THE SONG:
I really like it but it is WAY too young-sounding for them. This is the kind of material that 5H should be outputting, not them.

Tbh bring back Girlicious and PCD over this trash. They can barely dance and I don't really like any of their tones.

In a 5 girl supergroup isn't at least one of them supposed to be attractive? Emmalyn is gorgeous. She also has the best voice IMO. She is. I hate just focusing on looks on a music board, but I watched the video again, and I really don't see how someone is walking away thinking they're unattractive. And if for some reason you are, watch "Vacation" and "Wild Wild Love." They're all stunners in those videos. As for the song, I forgot to mention the pre-chorus, which is really cool. Still doesn't have a smash feel to me whatsoever, but it's enjoyable. I do agree with the comment about this song feeling young for them (Vacation does as well). They're not THAT old (on average, just a few years older than the Spice Girls were when they broke) - Emmalynn is 22, three are 25 and I don't know how old one is - but they look at least their age or older. They're certainly not teenagers, and they have that whole "older" Pussycat Dolls vibe, so their songs should probably be more mature.

Simone Battle is a star. She's nothing special, vocally, but she has this confidence about her. She does look horrible in this video though.
Her X Factor US audition:
Her only performance:
When she got eliminated, she said that Simon made her do "Just Be Good to Me" to try and recreate Cher Lloyd's performance on the UK X Factor. But I guess it wouldn't have mattered if she stayed around anyway because none of the acts from US X Factor are still signed except Fifth Harmony.
