Loved Hold My Hand and really enjoyed Don't Be So Hard on Yourself, so I'm perched.

I feel like this era would be a flop.

I don't like it. I can see what they were trying to do (recreate "Hold My Hands") but the final product sounds awkwardly cliched.

Hmm. I'm getting "soundtrack" more than "lead single" right off the bat. Maybe it'll be a grower.

Interesting. I really like this, but it doesn't quite beat the high points of her debut (though tbh, she's probably never going to top Take Me Home). Definitely glad to see new music from her.

I think this song is a grower. I love her voice so much, and the video is awesome

I love this. Exactly what I wanted from her. How is this underperforming?

This is really picking up steam and gaining streams every day on UK Spotify. I hope this is her next #1, it didn't blow me away at first but it grew on me so much.

UK Official Charts
Debut Week: #16 Second Week: #13 [+3] Third Week: #7 [+6] (mid-week update, subject to change)
Streaming really changed how the UK charts work. #1 hits usually debuted at #1 prior to streaming and artist waited a while after releasing the song to put it out for sale. Nowadays songs get a chance to climb up the charts as they gain momentum on Spotify & AM. The current charts definitely reflect popularity better–if a song can't stick around, it won't climb to #1.

I'm really happy that this is picking up steam in the UK! I was a big fan of her first era, and while "I'll Be There" isn't as good as some of her stuff from I Cry When I Laugh, I'm still rooting for her.

Heard this on the radio today and really enjoyed it. The chorus is a little underwhelming compared to her past work though.

Came here to say this. She's coming for that seventh #1 to extend her record!* *She's the first British solo female to have six number one singles.
