Released in Nov. 2012 it peaked @ #71 on the Hot 100 but sold approx. 746k and certified Gold. While it was a radio disappointment it did receive rave reviews and one of the few gems from Lotus. I hear this song frequently in bars and malls and I'm reminded that this was a missed opportunity to turn that tragic era around but nevertheless its influence lives on.

LOVE THIS SONG. Never understood why it didn't take off at radio, but I jam to this all the time!

This is alright. Fantastic song and vocals from Christina, but Blake's vocals are almost painful to me at times.
I'm still pissed the video was scraped, though.

I do have to agree about Blake's vocals being rough at certain points in this song, but it's just so different from his usual stuff that it doesn't bother me too much. |

Really love this song; it's very beautiful. Not here for Blake, but I can tolerate him in it I guess.

This should have been a much bigger hit than it was. I wonder if it would've done well if it had received a push to country radio.

I really love this. It's for fans of Christina though, because Blake is just sort of there. Which is just as well, since I'm not a Blake fan. It was clearly trying to mimic "Don't You Wanna Stay" (along with "Easy" by Bedingfield/Rascal Flatts), but I loved all three of these songs.

Interesting comparison, I never thought about the similarties between those three tunes. I love Christina's tone on this, though, especially during the opening verse. |

Really good song, but it's too high for both of them.

I was pissed at the lack of support for this! Argh!
Sales were there, radio showed early support... But no adds date or label push or video of any sorts let it just be there somewhat. The whole "floptina" game didn't help. I was confident this could become a moderate hit for her. Another good song that undeservedly got lost :(

Good song, but I didn't think this was a good single choice. But I guess it wouldn't have mattered what she had released anyway.

Don't like it. I don't think either of them sound very good on this song. A lot of straining.

Decent song, but I don't think it should have been released as a second single. Let There Be Love would have been a better follow up to Your body.

I think the bones of the song are actually pretty strong, but the production is cheap and vocally it's a mess. She's literally just screaming in places.
