David Guetta f/ Emeli Sandé - "What I Did for Love"

[Juan Carlos]

"What I Did for Love" is the next single ^(*) from David Guetta's new album Listen, which features vocals from Emeli Sandé. He mentioned that on Kiss FM UK, as well as that he will perform it with her on the X Factor.

(*) I guess it's the fifth overall single if "Shot Me Down", "Bad", "Lovers on the Sun" and "Dangerous" are considered, despite the first two songs are only included on the deluxe version of the album.

Decent song, but like the previous 2 singles "Lovers On The Sun" and "Dangerous", there are far better songs on the album imo.

Didn't like this one that much. "Hey Mama" and "S.T.O.P" are much better single options than this.

This hurts me to say, but this isn't strong enough for me to really get into it even with Emeli's feature. :( :'(

[Flip]

This isn't the best choice, but I love it anyway. 'Hey Mama' would be a better option to choose as single since it's doing better on iTunes :)

Debuts at #24 in the UK, becoming David's fifth Top 40 from the album.

#1. "Lovers On the Sun" (featuring Sam Martin)
#4. "Shot Me Down" (featuring Skylar Grey)
#5. "Dangerous" (featuring Sam Martin)
#22. "Bad" (David Guetta & Showtek featuring Vassy)
#24. "What I Did for Love" (featuring Emeli Sandé)

Lyric Video:

I enjoy this one but it's not a huge favorite of mine. Expectations were higher for this collab

[Juan Carlos]

Looks like this may re-enter in the UK Singles Chart tomorrow. It was at #49 on the midweek update, but it's currently at #4 on the UK iTunes after being featured on EastEnders, which is a British soap opera, and prior to that, it was discounted to £0.59. I also guess this could outpeak its previous peak next week if this handles over the week and doesn't drop a lot of spots.

[Juan Carlos]

And it happened. New peak of #20 this week in the UK and it also enters at #37 in Australia.

From Noise 11:

The fifth single from David Guetta's latest album Listen (TW-72) features the vocals of Emeli Sande and is entitled "What I Did for Love" (not the song from A Chorus Line which Marcia Hines covered here in 1977), and debuts at No.37. The new song becomes the 32nd chart entry for David Guetta and the eighth for Emeli Sande.

Looks like he spent a lot of money on the "Dangerous" video.

Anyway, it gets a new peak of #6 in the UK, becoming the fourth song from Listen to go into the Top 10 after the full EastEnders week effect.
