This was released as the first single from 2012's Girl on Fire. It peaked at #10 at CHR/pop, #2 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, #5 in the UK and #11 on the Hot 100. This song is SO bad. I hate it.
Solo version:
Inferno version with Nicki Minaj:
Bluelight version that was sent to urban AC:

I don't like it. This is basically an amalgamation of of everything I don't like from her.

I didn't hate this song but it's definitely not something I want from her.

A straight up cheese-fest. Everything about it is kind of sad.

Funny how it is one of her signature songs now though.
Honestly, the marketing for this album still pissed me off because the album could have done better with the lead (solo) doing on well. The inferno being on the main album made no sense for an artist like Alicia.
Anyway, I still like. I think it is quite head banging so that why I enjoyed it. The production (especially on Inferno version) could have used some work, something more in the form of "In Common" where it was actually interesting. Crazy to think the Bluelight version had a better production and it wasn't highlighted that much throughout the promotion of it.

I've always hated this song and even her vocals are grating on this.

Love this still, but her live performances were really rough at times. Her voice was at its worst during the release of this song and the album sadly.

I absolutely love this. I was not a fan of the Nicki version, but her 2nd verse about the deer is so WTF and out there that it's funny.

I feel like she should've used the Bluelight version for the album instead of the Inferno version. At least the album would flow better.

Revisiting this and I definitely think it's the only one that really stood out from from that entire album. Pretty iconic song. So lively and upbeat in comparison to the other tracks.

I love this- it has a good energy to it. I didn't hear Alicia much on the radio after "No One," but I definitely remember this song having a good presence.

Hated this. It almost sounded like a parody of herself.
