This was released as a single from 2014's In the Lonely Hour. It peaked at #1 at AC, #1 at hot AC, #1 at CHR/pop, #5 at rhythmic, #1 at urban AC, #1 in the UK and #2 on the Hot 100. It drew strong comparisons to Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down." As a result, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne were awarded writing credit for the song. It's really amazing to me what this song did at radio, considering the sound of it. I actually prefer "I'm Not the Only One" to this, but it's a good song.
Remix with Mary J. Blige:

One of the most boring songs I've ever heard in my life. To think it became SUCH a big hit...

Never liked this, even after Sam Smith grew on me. The verse is okay, but I hate the chorus and the layered vocals. It's really grating.

Loved it on release and still like it now, although not as much. Hasn't been aging all too well.

One of my favourite songs of this decade from one of my favourite albums. Found it boring at first, then started listening a little closer to the details and ended up really liking it.

Not a fan. I much prefer him as a featured artist. "La La La", "Latch", and "Omen" are all good, but I don't really care for his solo work.

I really like the "ooooooohhhh" part towards the end, but other than that, it's a boring song.

Now for me this is boring, overrated, overplayed and burned.

I still love this. I think the album itself was boring and samey, but individually this is a very strong record and song. I'm just still disappointed that this is the direction his career took sonically.

Overrated as hell for me. INTOO, LMD, and his features are a million times better.

Never really cared for this and his music, in general, and I'm glad that there are plenty of others in this thread that feel the same way.
