This is the first proper international single from the former member of The Wanted. He released a buzz single a short time back. Live performance: Jump Smokers remix: Single cover:
I like the soulful R&B direction of the original. I appreciate the fact that he didn't do a paint-by-numbers Dance/Pop track as his proper solo single. But I am curious to see how this will do. I don't like the Jump Smokers remix as much because it just feels too fast for this type of song. I don't like that they basically took the original and sped up those original elements too.

HITS says this will ship to pop radio in the US on June 1. I could've sworn Sykes said to Billboard that it was a new single coming in June, but maybe I'm not remembering that correctly.

I supposed he will try it in the UK and if the song was a success wil cross the pond, but he seems to follow the Rixton strategy

Sounds like Usher. Don't like it, though.

I like it a lot. I want to say that it's too R&B-leaning for pop radio, but songs that I have thought that about have become huge hits.

I like it especially the little breakdown before the chorus's. LoL, if I didn't know who this was I may have thought it was a black guy to. Did The Wanted breakup? I already forgot....

It's ridic. Did The Wanted breakup? I already forgot.... They are taking a "break" to do solo projects for a few years and then maybe they might do something again together. The most awkward part was that Max was the one who wanted to go solo while they were in the middle of a tour and that the other 4 members didn't want to go their separate ways just yet so they had to pretend everything was fine on stage when in reality they were all mad at Max. Mess.

I actually like this! It does sound like Usher though, but that's not a bad thing!

That buzz single and video were so hot though. I'll check this out later. The wonky grammar in the title is giving me anxiety though.

Why does he look constipated on the cover?
Good song though.

I've been wanting to see what he does since The Wanted did I Found You on the AMAs. It was a little rough in spots, but definitely showed that he could sing (and I kinda loved the song already).

Yes, it's weird but I love his soulful voice with melismas and stuff.
