    How come that the most talented of the "Girls Aloud" bunch was so neglected when she released this heck of an album? It is so unfair. This is pure golden pop, the best. Shame on people for not appreciating this masterpiece. So underrated. The whole album is magnificent, so is she.

    Lol, why does this song have so many dislikes? This song and others on her album had SO much more depth and witticism than any of the other members of Girls Aloud's other solo efforts. Plus, this is so much more original for someone from a pop background; I mean sampling Major Lazer for a start (better than Beyonce did in Run The World, too), you've gotta give her credit!
    And to all the 'cool' people saying, 'I'm 13 or whatever and I hate this song'. Does it matter? Maybe you don't appreciate the musical and lyrical substance to her work, but I was 14 when this came out and I'm 17 now and still love this song.
