omg !!
Posted by: Joe. Mar 9 2018, 04:09 PM
You can hear a bit of it here and it sounds like a genuine bop! https://t.co/tVSHOyRNrE
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 9 2018, 04:16 PM
the cover art 
i hope this can be a hit for her whats the odds?
Posted by: Joe. Mar 9 2018, 04:18 PM
She's having a big rebrand by the looks of things. I have faith if Syco push it like we know they can when they're not being lazy AF they can make it a hit. Louisa is a really easily marketable popstar with the right music.
Posted by: Jack Mar 9 2018, 04:21 PM
SCREAMING.
Come the f*** through Louisa. I'm really rooting for her too, she has such an infectious personality on social media .
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 9 2018, 04:30 PM
So i'm guessing this is the 1st single of the album, i hope the album comes this year 
also love the rebrand also i hope 2 chainz verse is good because this could smash
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 9 2018, 05:01 PM
where do you think this will end up charting?
Posted by: Joe. Mar 9 2018, 05:12 PM
No idea. It depends on airplay, promo, if she’s gets Spotify support and of course the song. I definitely wouldn’t rule out a hit or a flop.
Posted by: Cqmerqn Mar 9 2018, 05:17 PM
Wtf!!! 
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 9 2018, 05:18 PM
She's on Lorraine next Friday i think, and Radio 1 will get on board hopefully 
and the music video has been filmed so if R1 gets on board quickly, the music vid is released next friday and she get's a good start on spotify it could debut top 10
Posted by: Cqmerqn Mar 9 2018, 05:20 PM
At least they’ve finally dropped ‘Johnson’
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 9 2018, 05:25 PM
when do you guys think the album will be out?
Posted by: RobBob Mar 9 2018, 05:29 PM
I’m really crossing everything this is gonna pop off and subsequently be some kind of hit for her. Glad they’re not just giving up, Best Behaviour still deserves justice 💔
Posted by: Cqmerqn Mar 9 2018, 05:32 PM
This sounds huge!!
Posted by: Tombo Mar 9 2018, 05:44 PM
I hope she is still credited as Louisa Johnson otherwise it's gonna f--- up my last.fm
Posted by: Midge Mar 9 2018, 05:50 PM
Yes, that was a huge problem. Now she can be like Cher, Madonna, Eminem and Bono.
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 9 2018, 06:02 PM
i'm gonna take a wild guess and say this will go top 3
Posted by: Jonjo Mar 9 2018, 06:35 PM
YES YES YES YES YES indeed!!!
I really want this to be big for her!
Posted by: Botchia Mar 9 2018, 06:40 PM
Omg shook
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 9 2018, 06:45 PM
i hope the video is outstanding and can beat her most viewed video which is so good at 17m
Posted by: Cqmerqn Mar 9 2018, 07:18 PM
You can just tell that this is going to be an iconic bop
Posted by: pippa Mar 9 2018, 07:28 PM
She needs a hit from this. She is at the make or break stage so i hope it goes well for her.
Have Syco finally changed tactic and have come to the realization that artists need time and if Louisa can turn in some success it may benefit future acts on the label.
Posted by: Cameron Mar 9 2018, 09:56 PM
YES
(no pun intended)
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 9 2018, 09:59 PM
i hope this can be a smash hit she and everyone has been waiting for also where is the snippet of the song everyone's been saying about? link?
Posted by: BridgeCow Mar 9 2018, 10:00 PM
Why can I actually see her getting a hit now
Posted by: Mack. Mar 9 2018, 10:18 PM
Looking forward to this collaboration. Could be a hit for her.
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 9 2018, 10:33 PM
i know!, it looks like they are rebranding her and this is the first single from the album 
if this does good maybe she could get bigger names for the album
Posted by: Dexton Mar 10 2018, 01:02 AM
Excited for a 2 Chainz feature, I wonder how much that cost her label 
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Mar 10 2018, 02:11 AM
I was about to say 2 Chainz is a scoop for her, but when did we actually last hear of him?
I like Louisa though, I want her to come through against all odds!
Posted by: Cqmerqn Mar 10 2018, 07:52 AM
Well she has had 2 hits already!
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 10 2018, 08:37 AM
i hope there are more features on the album but if they give her a single 2 i want it to be solo and i can only see her getting 3 singles from this album so i hope they all do extremely well like Little Mix's Glory Days era but i will be happy with one top ten hit and then two top 20's 
Posted by: Bjork Mar 10 2018, 08:58 AM
anyone has a link that works to the snippet?
Posted by: Cqmerqn Mar 10 2018, 09:07 AM
Take a look back at the thread and you’ll find it....
Posted by: Joe. Mar 10 2018, 09:11 AM
2 Chianz haven’t done anything for a while but the feature will still help the song on streaming if it’s good I assume?
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 10 2018, 09:28 AM
yeah it should, does he have any successful songs though?
Posted by: Dexton Mar 10 2018, 09:31 AM
Well...yes.... although tbf he's not actually as huge as I thought having a look at his discography. He's had a #1 before though and is a fairly well known name, she'll get curious streams at least
Posted by: Dexton Mar 10 2018, 09:32 AM
Key word being "works", the link in fact does not work
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 10 2018, 09:36 AM
But how long ago was this #1?
Posted by: Bjork Mar 10 2018, 10:11 AM
the occ describes it as a very christina aguilera song, like a mix of dirrty and the burlesque soundtrack...
Posted by: Jack Mar 10 2018, 10:15 AM
It was Talk Dirty with Jason Derulo then he also had a Top 10 hit with 'We Own It (Fast & Furious)'.
I don't think it'll matter too much who the rapper is really, for example on 'Work From Home', the rapper could have been anyone and it still would've got the same levels of success.
Posted by: Cqmerqn Mar 10 2018, 10:29 AM
It worked for me yesterday
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 10 2018, 10:41 AM
i tried it earlier and it said the twitter account was suspended probably because it was exclusive to Lorraine, i'm quite surprised SyCo is keeping this secret and all of the teaser trailers on Instagram and Twitter and a feature! They really must see potential because she hasn't been dropped yet, SyCo doing things right for once all we need now is LM promo in America and a tour there, also how many acts are currently successful that are signed with SyCo
Posted by: Jack Mar 10 2018, 10:46 AM
Doesn't the winner also have a contract that they have to release an album? That's probably playing a part to it as well.
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 10 2018, 10:57 AM
probably but i hope the album is a self titled one
Posted by: Cqmerqn Mar 10 2018, 11:16 AM
It’ll be called ‘Louisa’ I reckon.
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 10 2018, 11:32 AM
hope so 
i just cant get over how she looks on the single cover also the text on the side suggests she has done a rebranding, also it looks like they've put more effort into the cover because last time she got put on a swing
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Mar 10 2018, 11:56 AM
I think loads of people in history have signed a contract to release an album, but it never ended up materialising.
Posted by: Jüpiter Mar 10 2018, 11:59 AM
Honestly surprised how many people care. I found her actively dislikeable on XF and unremarkable since.
Not saying you all shouldn't mind, just surprised that people have been won over. It's possible I missed something that changed things. Intrigued to hear the song in any case.
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 10 2018, 12:01 PM
but i feel SyCo is putting in effort to release her album because why would they get a rapper pay them money and waste time not promoting it? (NMSS is the exception but that did well despite no promo )
Posted by: Jonjo Mar 10 2018, 12:11 PM
She was by far the highlight of her series for me. Admittedly it was def one of the weakest years for XF talent - probs only being usurped by Sam Bailey's year overall. But I felt she was a pop star pretty much from her first audition.
I also appreciate Syco so much for giving her an actual shot. I feel like they really believe in her, coz what was to stop them from doing a Matt Terry and releasing a realitively weak effort with no care at all.
Tbh, I actually think Dua's career trajectory has prevented labels from giving up so soon and being too quick to release their acts. Not that Dua was unsuccessful beforehand, but I feel like Louisa was in a very similar position, getting hits but not to expectations, with a huge misfire (Best Behaviour/Lost In Your Light, for Dua) included.
It's frustrating coz the one time Syco take a risk and give one of their winners riskier pop to launch with, it ends up not doing so well. 
But I feel like there's a surprising amount of hype with this. Maybe it's my social media circles, but if it is the banger people think/expect it to be, I see no reason as to why it can't be huge. Just depends if the label are willing to spend the money for big spots on playlists for her!
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 10 2018, 12:18 PM
this better take off on spotify because streaming takes a huge effect on the charts and you need streaming to chart high and i get what your saying about Dua Lipa i didn't know who she was until New Rules was released as a single and i think that is what made her a worldwide success, it's surprising how much she turned the album campaign around
Posted by: Jack Mar 10 2018, 12:20 PM
Not saying you all shouldn't mind, just surprised that people have been won over. It's possible I missed something that changed things. Intrigued to hear the song in any case.
On social media she has such an infectious / likeable personality and 'Best Behaviour' was honestly one of my favourite songs last year. She's also a bit of an underdog so I think that's why we're all rooting for her!
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 10 2018, 12:28 PM
yeah! i hope this can do wonders for her where do you think this will debut?
Posted by: Cqmerqn Mar 10 2018, 12:33 PM
where do you think this will debut?Depends on...
• Radio
• Hot Hits
• Promo
If she has all three for debut week, then I’d say top 40 for sure.
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 10 2018, 12:40 PM
She has Lorraine next week and i'm sure there's some more promo
Spotify will hopefully get off to a good start
Radio um i am not sure about that
Posted by: Cqmerqn Mar 10 2018, 12:48 PM
Capital will spam it I’m sure
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 10 2018, 01:06 PM
Okay that's good how much does radio effect the UK charts, surely not as much as the US 
Posted by: Cqmerqn Mar 10 2018, 01:15 PM
Well it influences people to buy/listen to the song.. radio isn’t counted in the U.K. chart
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 10 2018, 01:25 PM
okay well if she can get a good start on itunes and spotify and get some promo she will be fine
Posted by: HausofTroye Mar 10 2018, 01:25 PM
• Radio
• Hot Hits
• Promo
If she has all three for debut week, then I’d say top 40 for sure.
And the song itself of course
I am actually excited for this after Best Behaviour was forced on me for ages and eventually hit me and became a JAM. More awkward dancing in the music video please *.*
Posted by: lewistgreen Mar 10 2018, 04:21 PM
Written by Camille Purcell who had a hand in Little Mix's Shout Out to My Ex and Hair!
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 10 2018, 06:02 PM
Omg! they really are investing in her can't wait! hopefully they have learned from there mistakes
Posted by: Martyn Mar 10 2018, 06:38 PM
Not forgetting What About Us by The Saturdays. Haha.
I suspect this will be in the top 3 songs on New Music Friday UK.
I also think Capital will hammer it like they did Best Behaviour.
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 10 2018, 06:47 PM
ah this is already looking promising and there is 6 days until release! i'm so excited 
this better be a big hit for her or she will get dropped but i'm sure the label know how to handle her 
Posted by: Cqmerqn Mar 10 2018, 06:52 PM
this better be a big hit for her or she will get dropped but i'm sure the label know how to handle her This is Syco we’re talking about!!
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 10 2018, 07:01 PM
yeah they are not good i am surprised Little Mix has maintained the success they have reached with the label they have and management i hope they promote her right because this deserves to be a hit
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 10 2018, 08:51 PM
Could she perform the song on Dancing On Ice next Saturday? Does that get many viewers?
Posted by: George.keh Mar 10 2018, 08:52 PM
Finished by next Sunday I believe
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 10 2018, 09:02 PM
maybe she could get a slot there and then The Voice? maybe or morning talk shows
Posted by: Cqmerqn Mar 10 2018, 09:07 PM
Dancing on ice finishes tomorrow
Posted by: George.keh Mar 10 2018, 09:08 PM
That’s what I meant oops
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 10 2018, 09:13 PM
oh okay sorry
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 10 2018, 09:15 PM
I've just watched the preview of yes on Lorraine and it sounds amazing
Posted by: Cqmerqn Mar 10 2018, 10:44 PM
It has just been registered as ‘Louisa’, so I guess it confirms that ‘Johnson’ has been dropped! 
The song is 2 minutes and 55 seconds long.
Posted by: Martyn Mar 10 2018, 10:56 PM
The song is 2 minutes and 55 seconds long.
Quick confirm it for our Eurovision song.
Posted by: Cqmerqn Mar 10 2018, 10:59 PM
Louisa to represent the UK in 2019 with Best Behaviour.
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 11 2018, 10:06 AM
The song is 2 minutes and 55 seconds long.
How did you find out the length of the song?
Posted by: Cqmerqn Mar 11 2018, 11:32 AM
It has been registered as 2:55
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 11 2018, 11:47 AM
okay, but i mean where do you find the registered song?

Hope this can save her career, but not thanks to the chosen featured artist.
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 11 2018, 12:36 PM
i think it will it all looks planned carefully and not rushing it
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 11 2018, 12:39 PM
When has a featured artist made the song successful?
Posted by: Dexton Mar 11 2018, 12:48 PM
I hope you’re not seriously asking that
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 11 2018, 12:49 PM
Bang Bang is the only one i could think of
Posted by: Tombo Mar 11 2018, 01:04 PM
Despacito!
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 11 2018, 01:18 PM
yes!
Posted by: Cqmerqn Mar 11 2018, 01:46 PM
The 2 Chainz feature will definitely help the song chart wise. It’ll be more streaming friendly. Unfortunately it seems Female-only tracks seem to struggle on Spotify (except Dua Lipa obvs).
I’m not going to post in this thread anymore until it’s released
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 11 2018, 02:10 PM
I’m not going to post in this thread anymore until it’s released
I agree with the feature helping chart wise and it will do better on streaming because people seem to love rappers on pop songs
Posted by: TMD_24Quavo Mar 11 2018, 05:09 PM
She's performing on Sunday Brunch next week.
Posted by: King Rollo Mar 11 2018, 05:49 PM
I liked her on the X Factor. I am pleased to see that she is doing her bit to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the iconic prog rock group Yes.
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 11 2018, 06:58 PM
omg yay some promo lined up so far we have Lorraine and Sunday Brunch hopefully she will preform on more shows throughout the week
Posted by: Joe. Mar 11 2018, 10:33 PM
Lol at this thread being 5 pages long already
Posted by: Cameron Mar 11 2018, 10:34 PM
It would be more if I moved all the discussion from the Best Behaviour thread lmao
Posted by: Tombo Mar 11 2018, 10:41 PM
I am excited for this, I hope this relaunch works out for her!
She is such a sweet girl!

Hype
Posted by: Joe. Mar 14 2018, 04:06 PM
Well, I’ve got a fan gig on Thursday so I’ve been rehearsing. It’ll be the first play of the new song! It’s very exciting.
What if they don’t like it?
Oh God! Well, I’m pretty positive they’ll like it…
AS YOU SHOULD BE because this track is very, very strong.
I’m very excited about it. We’ve been holding it back for a long time so it’s about bloody time we get it out there.
Just to be clear, I’m not just saying it’s good in the way journalists always say the new single’s good at the start of an interview before moving on to proper questions. It’s important that we’re on the same page here, this is a really good single.
Thank you!
When and where did the song happen? What’s the story?
I’d come back from a holiday and I was feeling creative and inspired, as you do when you come back from holiday, and I was getting back into the studio. I went for dinner with Camille, who’s done loads of stuff for Little Mix but has also been a good friend since I was in X Factor. And we went, “oh, f*** it, let’s just get drunk.” Which we did. And then we spoke about everything we wanted to put into a song! It just happened! I blurted out everything I wanted to say, the style of music, the beat, everything. Then she went into the studio and came up with this amazing song.
You see people say alcohol’s bad for you but when it saves your career it can only be a good thing, right?
Well it worked out alright for me!
At what point in your conversation with Camille did you use the words ‘Christina’, ‘Aguilera’ and ‘dirrty’?
WELL. I’ve always loved Christina and I’ve always loved that song. That song just makes you want to take your clothes off! At the moment there’s nothing that makes me want to strip. And I wanted something that made me feel sexy and empowered. I wanted a big song! I wanted to have a big sing! I said to Camille, ‘I want to be a Christina, not a Britney’.
CAREFUL!
(Laughs) Yeah, I know, right? But you know what I mean.
If you were Syco would you have given this song to you, or would you have kept it for Little Mix?
Oh my God I WOULD HAVE KEPT IT! Yes! YES! I’m not giving this away for nothing!
What’s 2 Chainz doing on this track? Has he been wanting to work with you for a long time or did you just chuck him some cash?
(Laughs) Well I put the song out to a couple of rappers — we were quite careful with who we picked. We wanted someone iconic and I think he’s pretty up there with some of the best rappers. I felt really lucky when he came back and said he liked the song. He was the first who came back and we decided to go with him because… Well, he was the first to come back and say he liked the song.
The single’s a bit like being punched in the face. What’s happening in the video?
I’m not sure how much I’m supposed to give away but I’ll just tell you anyway: it’s a big party which starts off like a very classy and sophisticated dinner party. Then I come in and dance on the table, and the video loops around three times and each time the party gets worse and worse and there are fewer and fewer clothes.
They're certainly hyping this up...a lot. I feel like anything less than 11/10 is going to be a disappointment,
Posted by: RobBob Mar 14 2018, 04:15 PM
I am loving everything I'm reading about this, I am so hyped.
I also love how un-media trained she always seems, for an X Factor winner, I particularly laughed at: "He was the first who came back and we decided to go with him because… Well, he was the first to come back!"
Posted by: Cqmerqn Mar 14 2018, 04:42 PM
UGGGHHH THE HYPE!!
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 14 2018, 05:14 PM
omg there is 2 days left and the hype is off the scale this better be 11/10 because they've hyped it up so much!!
Posted by: Jonjo Mar 14 2018, 05:51 PM
1 day until it's released in Australia though
Posted by: Tombo Mar 14 2018, 05:55 PM
Oh my god, that interview is everything! I love it!
Posted by: Cqmerqn Mar 14 2018, 06:29 PM
I’m going to a private listening party tomorrow!!!!
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 14 2018, 08:21 PM
omg let know if it lives up to the hype!
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 14 2018, 09:18 PM
new clip of the song posted on her Instagram, you can only hear sirens and 2 chainz shouting ''2 chainzzzzzz'' though
Posted by: Jüpiter Mar 14 2018, 09:34 PM
The shade in that interview tho! 
"What’s 2 Chainz doing on this track? Has he been wanting to work with you for a long time or did you just chuck him some cash?"
"if Yes isn’t a hit you might as well pack up and go home. Like, if it’s not going to happen with this you may as well just get a proper job."
Posted by: Tombo Mar 14 2018, 10:01 PM
Loving the promo, bring this on! I wish I lived in London so I could have gone to the party!
Posted by: Jonjo Mar 15 2018, 12:32 AM
She's gonna be performing on Sunday Brunch this weekend! Early promo! #YES
Posted by: jjake Mar 15 2018, 01:36 AM
sunday brunch sounds the PERFECT place to debut this live
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Mar 15 2018, 07:17 AM
I am actually quite excited!
Posted by: Joe. Mar 15 2018, 11:11 AM
it's out in NZ. someone hit me up with a link if they find one.
Posted by: kye Mar 15 2018, 12:01 PM
and me please!
Posted by: Midge Mar 15 2018, 12:15 PM
The hype here is automatically making me expect something average
Posted by: jjake Mar 15 2018, 01:02 PM
your sig is expressing how i feel!
Posted by: Cqmerqn Mar 15 2018, 02:14 PM
It sounds like a huge hit! Hope it does well.
Posted by: Joe. Mar 15 2018, 02:15 PM
I vastly prefer Best Behaviour oops.
Posted by: Jack Mar 15 2018, 02:18 PM
Oh no, I hope I like it. I'll just wait for the full release though.
Posted by: Dexton Mar 15 2018, 02:20 PM
This is actually better than I was expecting, reminds me a bit of early 00's girl groups. But at the same time it's very much a solo single and she shines on this 2 Chainz is a welcome addition too. Might prefer this to Best Behaviour
Posted by: jjake Mar 15 2018, 02:36 PM
i’ve heard it, have an opinion on it
good luck to everyone else x
Posted by: Midge Mar 15 2018, 02:43 PM
Everybody krump now!
I'd be on board with that, if only it were likely to be true
Posted by: jjake Mar 15 2018, 02:44 PM
if anyone wants a link do pm!
tuneeee
Posted by: jjake Mar 15 2018, 02:52 PM
it’s an incredible song but it’s slightly too fast
you feel v rushed listening to it and relentless
Posted by: jjake Mar 15 2018, 02:55 PM
i apologise i was purely judging on the basis of what i saw based on this thread
it’s impossible to tell if several people choose to PM you
my apologies
Posted by: Mr. C. Joel Mar 15 2018, 03:32 PM
It's an ABSOLUTE TUNE But sadly it sounds so dated I can't see it doing well at all.
Posted by: kye Mar 15 2018, 03:32 PM
i love this - but all i hear is 'when i grow up'.
not hearing xtina at all. maybe a little bit of 'express' in the chorus but they're not even melodically the same.
Posted by: Jack Mar 15 2018, 03:37 PM
PopJustice are usually diabolical with their descriptions, I never listen to them anymore.
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Mar 15 2018, 03:42 PM
Can't listen to it yet, but after this comparison I'm slightly fearful.
Posted by: pes Mar 15 2018, 04:09 PM
I like it..it's a dated sound tho so I do not know how it could perform on the streaming platform once the payola is over
Posted by: Cqmerqn Mar 15 2018, 04:16 PM
It IS very dated but it’s still a banger!
Posted by: Joe. Mar 15 2018, 04:29 PM
It worries me when people use the words 'Dated' instead of just saying throwback or retro.
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 15 2018, 05:14 PM
how do i find the song? i'm dying to listen to it
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 15 2018, 05:19 PM
nevermind i found it all i have to say is
it is amazing it definitely lived up to the hype and it sounds early 2000's this looks and sounds like a hit
also my only negative is it goes a bit to fast but i love it also 2 chainz fits perfectly
Posted by: Bitch Mar 15 2018, 05:36 PM
This is very Dirrrty feat. When I Grow Up
Loving it
Posted by: Shia LeMuffQueef Mar 15 2018, 05:38 PM
When I Grow Up is a good comparison!
For me it's like When I Grow Up, with the first verses and the rap sounding like Dirty ONLY
Then from the first chorus on, it's nearly all When I Grow Up
It's pretty good. It should do well. This kind of retro sound does well - look at Everything About This Song Is NO> No and Yes retro song hits. Here for the sirens.
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 15 2018, 05:38 PM
i know!! i love the chorus sm i hope this can be a hit for her. What do you all think?
Posted by: Defaze Mar 15 2018, 06:15 PM
Yeah, echoing this.
I wanted to love this since there actually seemed to be quite a bit of hype surrounding it, but it's SO dated and generally a bit of a racket. I can see this completely bombing unfortunately.

SyCo probably have something up there sleeve to make this a hit why would they hype it up to flop? and there wasting money by paying 2 Chainz to be on it, so this will be a hit im sure of it
Posted by: Jonjo Mar 15 2018, 06:40 PM
Oh wow.
I absolutely LOVE it! Definitely agree with the 'When I Grow Up' meets 'Dirrty' comments.
I was scared that it was gonna sound dated, but I'd say it's definitely more of a throwback! It's clearly a nod to the early 00's sound, but with an updated twist/it sounds fresh!
YES Louisa. Imagine if Burkey came back with something similar to this instead of 'Shadow'?
Posted by: blacksquare Mar 15 2018, 06:41 PM
I would be very surprised if this did anything. It sounds like a song that would have struggled in 2007.
I can understand why people like it though - it is that very fast and noisy OTT pop sound that doesn't get made anymore. The Christina and PCD comparisons are spot on.
Posted by: blacksquare Mar 15 2018, 06:42 PM
Syco actually taking a risk for once though?
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 15 2018, 06:52 PM
hope this can do something because all of this hype will lead up to nothing if it flops 
and for Louisa's career she needs this to be a hit or otherwise she will be dropped
but i have high hopes that this will be a hit because she will probably get new music Friday on her side and itunes will latch on pretty quickly and she has Sunday Brunch and Lorraine so here's to hoping this can be a hit
Posted by: Cameron Mar 15 2018, 06:55 PM
Oh my god.
I don't care this is a bloody jam. It is like Dirrty mixed with When I Grow Up with a Meghan Trainor written chorus
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 15 2018, 06:58 PM
I don't care this is a bloody jam. It is like Dirrty mixed with When I Grow Up with a Meghan Trainor written chorus
this is a bop agreed
Posted by: Bjork Mar 15 2018, 06:58 PM
for me, too noisy and in your face
even if it's a hit, it's not the kinda song that sells an album
think it's a bad move for her releasing this, think they should have chosen the zara larsson path, rather than nicole's

i don't think she would be a big album seller, she has always came across as a singles artist
Posted by: Mack. Mar 15 2018, 07:07 PM
Yes getting vibes of Dirrty and When I Grow Up from this. But it is a bit dated.
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Mar 15 2018, 07:11 PM
The charts are absolutely missing a good party-centric banger like this with a sense of FUN.
It does sound quite late 2000s, but that's a good thing as far as I'm concerned compared to some of the current turgid and tired trends.
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 15 2018, 07:23 PM
i get the early 2000's vibes but this song has a fresh twist to it that the charts haven't had in a while
Posted by: Joe. Mar 15 2018, 07:27 PM
Capital have playlisted and Radio 1 are going to playlist too.
Posted by: Jonjo Mar 15 2018, 07:29 PM
Amazing news!
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 15 2018, 07:29 PM
how do you know capital have playlisted?
Posted by: Cucumberella Mar 15 2018, 07:37 PM
blacksquare has nailed the description of it - i would throw a bit of javine 'real things' in there as well!
i LOVE IT
Posted by: Cucumberella Mar 15 2018, 07:48 PM
omg i'm 3 listens now and i'm feeling ill at how much of a bop this is
Posted by: Jonjo Mar 15 2018, 07:56 PM
It's so FUN. I don't club much anymore, but I really can't wait until this comes on on a night out. Imma lose everything to it.
Excited to see how she'll get it across live. Should be something to behold on Sunday Brunch lmao! *.*
Posted by: lewistgreen Mar 15 2018, 08:01 PM
Oh this is bloody amazing!
Posted by: Liаm Mar 15 2018, 08:02 PM
Omg this is very Ricki Lee circa 2008 giving it sass, in the best way *.* Amazing song.
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 15 2018, 08:02 PM
this song deserves choreography like Little Mix choreography all out and extreme especially the chorus
Posted by: Jüpiter Mar 15 2018, 08:15 PM
Amelia Lily called, she wants her old album track back.
Yeah, I'm hearing the Xtina from it but that's mainly her vocal tics. A bit of a risk but I do feel they're going for retro rather than dated. It is very fast! I'm not sure how it's going to fit in 2018's pop landscape but I guess it could potentially be ahead of the curve...
Posted by: Cqmerqn Mar 15 2018, 08:22 PM
I am a little bit worried that it won’t be a hit, but that’s probably just because I want her to do well so badly!
She is the SWEETEST person ever!
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 15 2018, 08:25 PM
this will be a hit i think because as i said why hype it up if your gonna give it little to no promo? hopefully more promo is lined up for next week
Posted by: Cqmerqn Mar 15 2018, 08:26 PM
hopefully more promo is lined up for next weekYeah I see what you mean. I thought it sounded ‘dated’ when I first heard it so I hope it doesn’t put people off! She will need to promote it for sure.
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 15 2018, 08:42 PM
yeah, she's gonna need some more promo lined up for the next couple weeks and spotify to get on board, and it doesn't sound 'dated' it sounds retro and a throwback sound that most people will love
Posted by: Jonjo Mar 15 2018, 08:42 PM
Lets be honest though, Carly Rae Jepsen's last era was hyped up by similar bloggers and the internet and... Well... We know how that went
Internet hype means nothing. Radio getting on board straight away though is a great indicator that it's likely to become a hit. Maybe not "instant top 10 and there for months" but I reckon it could get a pretty speedy climb up to it's peak in the top 10 (maybe #7 or so) and lingers around the top 15 for a few weeks.
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the first 2 weeks or so she missed the top 40 and then gets a swift climb up once entering.
The charts are so hard to predict for instant success nowadays. I'd love it to be an instant top 20 smash!

an INCREDIBLE lip sync song
Posted by: Liаm Mar 15 2018, 11:22 PM
Dated is such an awful buzzword I feel, idk why anything that isn't trend chasing or pays homage to old songs has to be dated Dated for me I apply to like those 2005 ballads that most X Factor winners are lumbered with when they win, this is doing retro well with a huge pop sensibility.
Posted by: JosephSprayberry Mar 15 2018, 11:22 PM
ANTHEM
This is what pop music needed
Posted by: Liаm Mar 15 2018, 11:24 PM
Exactly *.* In a chart landscape full of lazy trap songs on autopilot, we really need a sassy throwback bop.
Posted by: Frooot Mar 16 2018, 12:14 AM
YES TO THIS!
Posted by: Jack Mar 16 2018, 12:19 AM
Amazing song, imagine if Christina came back with something this strong.
#15 on NMF I hope it gets a good placing on Hot Hits and they've bothered to pay for it, can't be having this doing a Meghan.
Posted by: Davidson Mar 16 2018, 12:22 AM
This better do something!
I know it sounds dated but if Little Mix released this it would be a massive #1.
The whole thing is too f***ing incredible not to do anything.
Posted by: Cqmerqn Mar 16 2018, 12:26 AM
This is tagged as ‘Louisa Johnson’ on Spotify.
Posted by: Liаm Mar 16 2018, 01:37 AM
This is the best pop chorus in AGES.
I will devastated if this doesn't do anything, it's huge. I can't see why it wouldn't be a hit with support so fingers crossed!

This is like Little Mix "Wings" with attitude; aka Asanda "Legends".
Posted by: awardinary Mar 16 2018, 05:41 AM
Sounds fierce!
Is she trying just a little too hard though I worry. I think it will do well though.
I think the 2 Chainz feature is a little pointless though, but if it helps with streams I can see why it was done.
Posted by: Cucumberella Mar 16 2018, 07:50 AM
Is she trying just a little too hard though I worry.
I do kinda have to agree with this lmao - she isn't a very FIERCE person / is mainly just sweet, not a diva / a sassatron so I'm wondering why they've given her this but she does a good vocal turn!
still LOVING IT
Posted by: Cucumberella Mar 16 2018, 07:55 AM
would actually go as far to say this is the first massive song of the year tbqh (not necessarily chartwise but i can hope)
Posted by: Cqmerqn Mar 16 2018, 07:55 AM
It seems natural to me!
Posted by: Dane Mar 16 2018, 08:52 AM
Love this!! Such a bop, although reminds me slightly of Get sexy by the Sugababes which isn’t a major bad thing. Hoping it can do well for her!
Posted by: Jack Mar 16 2018, 09:02 AM
Why do I feel this will just do a Best Behaviour pt 2 chartwise?
Absolutely LOVE it. If it was the comeback by Ariana or someone, it'd be absolutely massive.
Posted by: Midge Mar 16 2018, 09:10 AM
I think it’ll be somewhere between that and the previous single. Top 40 but not much higher. I also don’t think it’d be absolutely massive for anyone else (unless their name was just so big then it sold for that reason).
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Mar 16 2018, 11:32 AM
I'd really hope the fact it stands out and people (hopefully) craving something different will work to its advantage assuming they're giving it a proper push.
Posted by: Dexton Mar 16 2018, 11:37 AM
Chartwise I can kinda see it inexplicably flopping, a bit like Pixie Lot’s Won’t Forget You which also sounded like a huge hit
Posted by: danG Mar 16 2018, 11:57 AM
Well it's top 20 on iTunes already so I'd say it's set up to be at least a bigger hit than Best Behavior.
It's quite alright this, possibly the best song of her solo career (i.e. excluding 'Tears') but that isn't saying much.

Posted by: Bré Mar 16 2018, 04:27 PM
I don't think 2 Chainz is a name that's going to help her much on Spotify like people keep asserting in this thread... he's not exactly a name anyone in the UK cares about, he only has 3 hits and they were not hits because 2 Chainz was on them. Just having a featured rapper does not automatically boost her appeal on Spotify. He's more of a big name in his own right in the US I guess but it'd be a miracle for her if this was a hit over there regardless of who was featured on it.
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 16 2018, 05:27 PM
well it's currently at #17 on itunes so it's doing well in the UK so Sunday Brunch will boost it into the top 10 if it doesn't get there by itself, i knew it would do well
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 16 2018, 05:30 PM
also it keeps getting dark green updates so hopefully it can make the top ten tomorrow
Posted by: Envoirment Mar 16 2018, 05:39 PM
This is the song Alexandra Burke should've come back with.
Love it. If this doesn't become a hit for Louisa then something's seriously wrong.
Posted by: Tombo Mar 16 2018, 05:43 PM

Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 16 2018, 06:19 PM
i'm so happy this is doing well so far and she's only done Lorraine and it wasn't even a performance so imagine the impact from a tv performance
Posted by: Midge Mar 16 2018, 06:59 PM
Is she performing on Sunday Brunch with James Martin? If so, Grandma is definitely gonna be getting onto iTunes and purchasing the f*** out of this.
Posted by: mdh Mar 16 2018, 07:15 PM

Posted by: Joe. Mar 16 2018, 07:28 PM
Love it. If this doesn't become a hit for Louisa then something's seriously wrong.
I agree that it's a great song and should be a hit but I'd 100% see why if it struggled given this kind of throwback sound isn't really "in". But I'm really rooting for it. As someone on another forum called it "What an amazing, trashy, exciting, chart-repelling gay ass bop".

Just goes to show how fake the music industry is.
If Ariana Grande, etc, released this, their fans and radio djs would be like, omg skwee, best song EVER!! Someone else releases it and they don't even bother to listen.

To be fair - Pixie Lott didn't have the backing of a big label like Louisa does.
I agree with the comments that it sounds like a decade too late though.

Posted by: ElectroBoy Mar 17 2018, 09:32 AM
NOt a massive fan of this... it sounds like a last ditch attempt for her and as though everything has been thrown at it.

Posted by: Jüpiter Mar 17 2018, 10:26 AM
Maybe the fact Little Mix might do better with a song like this is because they have a solid fanbase?
It's not just about the song. Loads of songs get bought and/or streamed just out of brand loyalty and even curiosity.
Whichever way they're running with her for this, whether this is a comeback or a reinvention, to casual music fans she's either a name they've never heard of or someone who's not released a song for ages who doesn't seem to've been up to much in the meantime, who's dropped something that doesn't sound like anything else in the charts currently or recently. That's a mixed bag.

Yeah, i hope the Sunday Brunch performance will boost it even more on itunes and spotify because it's seemed to have stalled at #17 on itunes

it was an acoustic performance of it though
Posted by: LB1108 Mar 18 2018, 05:03 PM
Oh ffs Louisa. She deserves to flop if she’s gonna start doing Acoustic versions of it as promo 
Posted by: Jonjo Mar 18 2018, 05:13 PM
I genuinely can't see this being a full on live performance (i.e. not acoustic) on any show that's available to be promoted on atm.
We're in DIRE NEED of bigger platforms for artists to promote on at this time of year. We have Ant & Dec but thats about it. Loose Women/This Morning and things I'd expect the acoustic versions of this. 
Posted by: Martyn Mar 18 2018, 05:13 PM
Everyone performs acoustically on Sunday Brunch though. It's not like she could be I am not doing it unless it is a full performance, as they would just say you aren't doing it.

Sounds Like Friday Night returns in a few weeks, and The Voice live shows being soon also. But you're right, there really aren't many platforms at the moment to promote music.
However, there's also The One Show, who have quite a lot of music guests, The Last Leg, which occasionally has music performances (Craig David, Example and Anne-Marie have been on it so far this year) and The Graham Norton Show, but that's been on a break since February and returns in April.

she could perform on the one show and the voice live shows so that's a bit more promo but the thing she needs is spotify

agree with the 'when i grow up' comparisons, not a bad thing at all!! i am loving the ott relentless pop of it all. i can see it being a gay bar favourite despite how well it does.
getting ramped up / more sexy Fleur East 'Sax' feels too.
Posted by: miichaelking21 Mar 18 2018, 08:03 PM
if 2003 Xtina had been presented with Hair Down by Mollie King... this is what I'd have imagined it to sound like (this is a compliment)
Posted by: kye Mar 19 2018, 02:01 AM
if they only allow acoustic performances on Sunday Brunch, they should have just interviewed her + showed a clip of the video.
this is definitely not the kind of song that you can make work acoustically. she needs a massive performance, there's just nowhere to perform it.
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 19 2018, 06:40 PM
YES is at #45 in the midweeks so maybe if sales are steady maybe a top 40 debut?
Posted by: Jack Mar 19 2018, 06:48 PM
I sincerely doubt she's going to get a Top 40 debut unfortunately, Spotify data is missing as well.
In fact, I really hope I'm being pessimistic because I think you can sometimes tell if a song is going to be a hit or not upon release or not, but I can't see this going Top 40 even ... I am so willing to be proved wrong!
Posted by: Joe. Mar 19 2018, 07:38 PM
It’s getting good Capital and Kiss AirPlay, but unless it starts improving on iTunes soon. They’ll drop it before Radio 1 gets round to playing it.
Posted by: jamemixer. Mar 19 2018, 07:42 PM
it's been moved up to #3 on New Music Friday on Spotify if that helps 
Posted by: Joe. Mar 19 2018, 08:02 PM
It doesn’t sadly. It’s been added to The Pop List which might help a little though.

Spotify have been super quick recently with newies. Most big releases from Friday are already on the playlist.

I'd prefer if you guys didn't post your invalid and incorrect opinions, but hey ho!
Seriously though, still loving this and up until today it was pretty much the only thing I listened to on repeat and I only stopped coz I am listening to BJSC! 🙃
I don't think I'd be able to handle it if this did a 'Best Behaviour' Not only do the songs deserve better, but she really does too!

You're right! It reminds me of this song:
Posted by: Midge Mar 21 2018, 01:53 PM
Did people really think a performance on Sunday Brunch or whatever it's called would generate sales? My Grandma, who watches it religiously every week and is part of a demographic that is a large part of the target audience, would not be going onto iTunes and grabbing a copy of "YES" - acoustic or not (And 'acoustic' is certainly much more fitting for Sunday Brunch!)
Come on you lot please be realistic!
Posted by: vibe Mar 21 2018, 03:19 PM
I can’t believe how much she is talked about on here .
She will be singing in musicals very soon .

This song needs a X Factor performance so badly, with a great staging it would be even bigger !
Posted by: Juan Carlos 🌴 Mar 22 2018, 02:25 PM
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before or not (sorry if it was), but there's a 'no rap edit' version of the song. It has been sent to UK radio through HitDisc compilation this week and the length is 2:44 min.
Posted by: Joe. Mar 22 2018, 02:26 PM
X Factor doesn't start for like half a year?
Posted by: Midge Mar 22 2018, 02:38 PM
Also X-Factor performances do bugger all for most songs these days
Posted by: Hayzayy Mar 22 2018, 02:48 PM
Yes sorry, I mean I wish there was a show like X Factor she could perform YES! on now, as the song would really translate very well in such a big staging!
Posted by: ___∆___ Mar 22 2018, 10:31 PM
I never understand the fan boy hysteria for Louisa (Which is odd for me as I usually love any old sh!te).
Even if this does scrape the Top 40 then what? Her previous hits are long enough ago to be forgotten so she is essentially needing to totally restart her career in order to get an album released and she needs 2-3 huge big selling hits for that to happen which feels like an impossible feat at the moment.
I’m not sure what else Syco can do? They have done duets, collaborations, pulled in big remixers, bought places on streaming playlists, done the whole 59p iTunes thing with most releases, name change... the general public are just not interested and releasing a track that sounds like it should have been a 2001 Christina b-side is not going to change that.

I'm on this page too. No longer a hater of her but tbh baffled by the small pockets of diehard fans she's managed to drum up from what's been a pretty uninspired career so far.
Posted by: Jack Mar 22 2018, 11:18 PM
People just like someone who has a good personality, and is producing actual pure fun pop as there isn't much in the charts right now. That's all there is to it.
Posted by: Hayzayy Mar 23 2018, 08:24 AM
I never care for Louisa and I only care for her now cause YES is a smash.
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Mar 23 2018, 11:19 AM
It's recognising the potential she has and willing her to fulfill it. She has more than proven she has it with this single.
Posted by: Mr. C. Joel Mar 23 2018, 11:31 AM
I still think Yes could still be a relative hit if it gets added on Hot Hits and airplay keeps increasing.
At least it's within the top 40 on iTunes, It's actually climbing a bit with increasing airplay.
The video isn't out either yet and if that's HUGE it could push it a little more.
Posted by: Jonjo Mar 23 2018, 11:49 AM
Yeah. It's held up really nicely on iTunes. I expected it to miss top 40 for the first few weeks, but it needs streaming support. I really hope the video is what the song deserves. Not another 'Best Behaviour' scenario thanks x
Posted by: Midge Mar 23 2018, 12:02 PM
I basically expect this to perform similarly to M.O's latest single.
Posted by: diamondtooth Mar 23 2018, 12:02 PM
Oops double post
Posted by: diamondtooth Mar 23 2018, 12:03 PM
I know her career has not had a stellar start but she has not done extremely badly either like a lot of other X Factor winners. So Good went Gold, Best Behaviour and Unpredictable went silver and Tears (with Clean Bandits) went Platinum.
Lets not say that she has not achieved anything.
Chart positions alone are not everything anymore. She does have 4/4 certified singles.
Also, I love 'Yes' and am willing it to do well.
Posted by: Frooot Mar 23 2018, 12:43 PM
Ideally we would have a live performance throughout the week and a 59p discount / video release next Friday! Radio is supporting this so I actually have faith it will at least manage to be a top twenty hit.

Agree she’s had some certified singles but let’s face it most acts seem to achieve that now (Even songs that miss the atop 100 seem to manage a silver award!).
The biggest issue for Louisa is despite some Silver/Gold awards the songs are essentially forgotten now and she would be unable to launch an album off the back of them - she is starting from zero and as I said in my earlier post she needs 2-3 big selling hits to be able to launch an album, even if ‘Yes’ does well I can’t see it being huge.
Posted by: diamondtooth Mar 23 2018, 02:20 PM
Yes I agree. She has not had a song that has really caught on with the general public. I still hope Yes can make an impact.
I looked on Spotify at the cities where she is listened to most. I thought the top 5 cities would all be in the UK/Ireland.
However they are: London, Dublin, Bangkok, Singapore and Istanbul!
I didn't think she was known at all outside UK/Ireland.
Posted by: Jonjo Mar 23 2018, 02:44 PM
She's on Sport Relief tonight appaz. Well, she's "getting involved" so I have no idea if she's performing or not!

Posted by: Midge Mar 24 2018, 02:51 AM
I don't think that's tragic at all. Considering her stature, that's a decent start and already a top 75 record.
Oh, and I'm liking this the more I hear it. It kind of makes me feel nostalgic. It's definitely something I think Alexandra Burke would've released at the height of her popularity.
I can also finally remember how it goes
Posted by: Jack Mar 24 2018, 12:22 PM
This is growing off me if anything, adored it on first listen but with more listens I'm hearing a bit of cheap/tackiness to it. I still like it though.

If only unequivocal love on Buzzjack had any impact on the chart she’d have a #1 now
Posted by: mdh Mar 25 2018, 11:28 AM
this is really poor. she has the potential to put something fresh and catchy out yet her team decided that THIS massively over-exaggerated attempt at replicating a completely tired style was a good idea?
maybe this would have sounded alright in 2010, but there's nothing bringing me back to this (also the 2 Chainz feature makes absolutely no sense considering the style of the song)
Posted by: Cameron Mar 25 2018, 05:47 PM

Posted by: Jüpiter Mar 25 2018, 06:52 PM
I mean the more I hear it the more it sounds like a real gay anthem song. Pluses to that, it's going to appeal to a rabid fanbase and get her some (more) dedicated fanboys... Minuses, it has virtually no appeal to the general straight music-buying public except as a novelty if even that. She needs female fans and I honestly don't think I've seen any girls anywhere online stanning this or even particularly interested at all.

Posted by: Jordan Lee Mar 26 2018, 03:51 PM
I feel as though she’s trying too hard to shake off the X Factor / good girl tag at the moment and it just doesn’t seem genuine too me. I feel for her because she just needs that one song to give her a good shot at getting that album out. I do like her but I think she’d have done a lot better had she not won the show. I can’t see this being a huge hit though maybe low top 40 but wouldn’t shock me if it done a Best Behaviour and peaked outside of that area I just don’t think it’s her I actually think Little Mix would’ve done better on YES for some reason.

Posted by: danG Mar 26 2018, 04:39 PM
Down to #83 in today's midweeks, not too bad considering it could have easily fallen straight out, but doesn't bode well for a future big hit either.
Posted by: mdh Mar 26 2018, 05:30 PM
i mean it's totally subjective but in my opinion the new wave of abstract pop from the likes of Clairo and Billie Eilish is pretty good. doesn't rely on anything that's already been done but it's still accessible.
also i'd call people like SZA, Kali Uchis and H.E.R fresh and catchy, they've got some great interpretations of r&b influenced pop.
what's your idea of 'fresh' and 'catchy'?

Posted by: Jüpiter Mar 27 2018, 08:14 AM
Eh, it's alright, disappointing she didn't serve choreo when a) she can actually dance and b) that kind of thing is SO in right now thanks to Dua Lipa, Rita etc.
Comes off as a weaker copy of Ain't My Fault meets Your Song imo
I'm reminded of Demi avoiding any choreo in the Instruction video that was crying out for it...
Posted by: Frooot Mar 27 2018, 08:56 AM
I don’t think there’s enough attention on Louisa in the actual video if I’m being honest! I expected so much more from the video, I expected a routine and a video full of attitude!
I’ve not played the song much at all since it debuted as I’ve gone off it a bit!
Posted by: liamk97 Mar 27 2018, 11:02 AM
It's a disappointing video when you consider there was great opportunity for a fierce dance routine instead of random images of random people, but at least it wasn't a totally embarrassment as well as a disappointment like 'Best Behaviour' was.

But if it didn't suit her personality then she wouldn't have asked for a song like this. Also, she stripped down when she heard it as she loved it so much
Posted by: Ashley Mar 28 2018, 12:35 AM
This sounds like it should be on a Step Up soundtrack. It's like something by the Paradiso Girls or Sophia Fresh or some other failed girl band. It's all there and I secretly love it, but it would never be a hit.
Posted by: Mr. C. Joel Mar 28 2018, 09:25 AM
It’s not doing bad it’s holding well on iTunes without Radio 1 support.
It’s doing a lot better than some other recent releases which should of made more of an impact.
It’s all down to not being on Hot Hits, she would have made the top 40.

To be fair, in the battle of trying to eradicate homophobia from society what's the point of demonising someone for something they did when they were 14? She realises her mistake, there are bigger fish to fry.
I believe she deserves a second chance here.
Posted by: Jüpiter Mar 29 2018, 06:54 PM
Second Chance might as well be her tagline by now...
Posted by: Liаm Mar 29 2018, 07:02 PM
Twitter gays are obsessed with "cancelling" everyone, as said she was 14... If we "cancelled" everyone who used that language when they were 14, there'd be barely anyone left on the charts. Obviously that language shouldn't be used but Aly is right, there are far fiercer battles to be fought than her saying a few things in like 2012. People just love to make drama out of anything, if only they would this energy into something more helpful, but people never bother where it's actually needed.
Posted by: Tombo Mar 29 2018, 10:25 PM

I’m not sure what’s left for them to revive it now? The video is out, it’s had the 59p treatment on iTunes, made its way onto a few streaming playlists and she’s done some TV promo. I can’t see remixes benefiting the song that much so would be surprised if it manages to rebound.

Posted by: Tombo Apr 3 2018, 11:16 AM
So a new article has come out claiming Louisa could be dropped, following the charting of her latest single. I dunno how reliable this is though as it only says "a source"
The X Factor winner apparently could be dumped if her new single fails to make an impact on the charts.
And so far, it's not looking great.
Despite her new song YES - featuring US rapper 2 Chainz - being pretty amazing, it's only managed to peak at Number 65 so far. This week the song fell to Number 92.
"Everyone has high hopes for Louisa's latest bid to establish herself. There's a buzz about, but it really is make or break," a source said this week.
They told the Daily Star on Sunday newspaper: "Everyone has a lot of faith in her ability and there's no denying her talent, but if she doesn't have a big hit soon she will be dropped.
"There's only so long you can keep spending on an artist and not make the money back."
Speaking of her new song last month, Louisa said: “As soon as I recorded Yes I knew it had to be a single. It instantly became my favourite song I’ve ever worked on," Louisa said. “You can’t help but move when you hear this track, I hope everyone is ready.”
Unusually for an X Factor winner, Louisa has still yet to put out her debut album despite appearing on the show back in 2015.
In 2016, the champ of the 12th series collaborated on 'Tears' with Clean Bandit which went into the Top 10.
Louisa then released debut single single 'So Good' followed by 'Best Behaviour'.
In 2017, Louisa collaborated on fellow X Factor star Olly Murs' latest song Unpredictable.

The fact she got saved over Ella suggests she'll get an album out the label, but then again, there's been no hints of an album whatsoever... normally when an artist is plugging a single they hint about other tracks recorded... when she has been asked about the album all she says is "it's coming soon". No "there's this real emotional ballad on the record" for example.
Posted by: ___∆___ Apr 4 2018, 02:29 AM
Where though? There are plenty of other more successful acts more than happy to snap up places on daytime TV so not sure even This Morning would be an option at the moment
She’s fallen into the trap of being generally well know but nobody could name a song by her.

She’s fallen into the trap of being generally well know but nobody could name a song by her.I doubt places like This Morning decide guests by name power. If a label pays for the promo slot, I doubt they would care.
Posted by: gavindeejay Apr 4 2018, 09:50 AM
If her label can't get her on This Morning or Loose Women, etc.. then there's no hope at all!
Posted by: Mr. C. Joel Apr 4 2018, 10:58 AM
It’s not doing bad on iTunes all things considered it’s just streaming that’s majorly letting her down.
Posted by: WhoOdyssey Apr 4 2018, 02:14 PM
It's Scott Mills' tune of the week this week, so it's something.
Posted by: Defaze Apr 4 2018, 03:08 PM
Is it really 'doing alright' though? Strong Capital airplay (plus video rotation) since release, Scott Mills' track of the week, a discount, and yet it still can't go top 30. It's pretty dead in the water I'd say, even if it does get added to Hot Hits.
Posted by: Joe. Apr 4 2018, 03:16 PM
Agreed. It's not on Radio 1's C list for Friday either oops.
Posted by: mdh Apr 4 2018, 04:36 PM
ngl it's a really poor song - i'm sure if she was to release something great then the public would love it.
Posted by: cqmisa Apr 4 2018, 06:14 PM
This IS great...

It’s a bop but it belongs in 2004.

She looks like Lauren Harries in pic 1
Posted by: Jonjo Apr 7 2018, 10:30 PM
Already iconic.
If this doesn't help YES be the 12 week #1 it deserves to be, then she should give up tbh.

Where are her eyebrows
Posted by: Euphorique Apr 8 2018, 02:50 PM
QFT. Never thought I'd look back at 2004 with nostalgia considering it was nowhere near as good as the 97-02 period. But still miles better than what is out nowadays
Posted by: Tombo Apr 9 2018, 07:44 AM
Her face looks really odd in those photos, I don't know what is going on. Normally she looks really pretty.
Posted by: Jay ☆ Apr 9 2018, 08:24 AM
The "no eyebrows" look is what makes her look odd!
Posted by: Mr. C. Joel Apr 10 2018, 09:49 AM
Think it’s safe to say this is yet another flop.
I think this is the end for her now, I never expected much from this anyway because it’s definitely doesn’t have a current sound.
I hope somehow there’s still an album, I think it would do alright as she does have a bit of a fanbase still.
Posted by: KWEEN_DEE Apr 10 2018, 05:35 PM
What a relief! I’m yet to find anything decent about this song. She kinda sunk her own fate bragging about getting half naked in a board meeting in a room full of older men and in a post-Weinstein world, the image does not sit well. Aside from the fact the song & video are just rubbish.
Also, it’ll teach Syco a lesson if Ella has a bigger album (I say bigger. You can’t do much worse than Louisa lol)
Posted by: Jüpiter Apr 10 2018, 08:08 PM
The first pic is TERRIBLE she looks like Big Bird in drag. Or Willam

Just got added to Hot Hits UK
Posted by: Jack Apr 12 2018, 10:25 AM
If it finally gets a Radio 1 add, I could see this doing okay.
Posted by: Bartier Cqmerqn Apr 12 2018, 10:28 AM
I think it’s the type of song that will respond well to HHUK
Posted by: Midge Apr 12 2018, 10:30 AM
Name other similar songs it has benefited?
I certainly don't think it's too late, it's just whether the GP respond well to something that sounds like a throwback to a decade ago.
Posted by: Jack Apr 12 2018, 10:43 AM
Meghan Trainor's 'No' did well last year and that was a throwback?
Posted by: Bartier Cqmerqn Apr 12 2018, 10:44 AM

Stop being cocky.... there are many songs that respond well to HHUK
Posted by: Midge Apr 12 2018, 10:45 AM
Of all the people to say that to someone
So you can't name one basically?
Thanks Jack - how did "No" perform once added to Hot Hits? Also that was 2 years ago now already, where does time go?
Posted by: Jack Apr 12 2018, 10:52 AM
I think it was added a few weeks after (but I have no idea if I'm correct, like you say it was a while ago) and shot up to the Top 20!
Posted by: Midge Apr 12 2018, 10:54 AM
I can't remember either tbh; I thought it was the video effect but maybe Hot Hits had something to do with it too.
Good call though - she definitely bought the retro sound back with that one - though I would have to say "No" is also quite a bit better than "Yes"...
Also just realised we're comparing "Yes" and "No" there
Posted by: Tombo Tingz Apr 12 2018, 11:35 AM
Omg yes, finally! Peace has been restored to the universe!
Posted by: Joe. Apr 12 2018, 12:16 PM
If songs like Rewrite the Stars and This Is Me can do so amazing on streaming anything is possible. But I do think it's a bit late for this one. 4 weeks ago when it was steady at 27/28 on iTunes, and getting better airplay, sure. But it's a bit late now I fear.
Posted by: ___∆___ Apr 13 2018, 12:27 AM
Even if this does somehow respond to the HH add what’s the best we could expect? A #36 smash? Louisa is in no better position if that happens to launch her album - she needs a few consecutive big hits. She’s in Pixie Lott territory at the moment tbh.
Posted by: Bartier Cqmerqn Apr 13 2018, 05:14 PM
Down to 100 this week
Posted by: Tombo Tingz Apr 13 2018, 05:18 PM
Hopefully the playlist placement can push it up next week
I'd love it to go top 40!
Posted by: Bartier Cqmerqn Apr 13 2018, 05:19 PM
It will a little bit, but it’s in the 60s on iTunes now
Posted by: Tombo Tingz Apr 14 2018, 02:53 PM
I wish Spotify would update so we can see where this is (if anywhere)
Posted by: Bartier Cqmerqn Apr 14 2018, 05:54 PM
Not top 200
Posted by: Tombo Tingz Apr 14 2018, 09:13 PM
Shame
I guess it is quite low down on the playlist
Posted by: ___∆___ Apr 16 2018, 09:53 PM
Not in the Top 100 mids - think it’s safe to assume this single campaign is officially over and a flop.
Posted by: Mr. C. Joel Apr 16 2018, 10:35 PM
Over now.
I hope they still release the album, I can’t see it happening now though.
I don’t understand why they went with something so dated?!
She has masses of potential IMO but it’s the wrong material everytime.
I love YES but it doesn’t sit well with the current stuff at all, when it comes on the radio it instantly sound a like a single from 9 years ago+
Posted by: Mack. Apr 17 2018, 11:59 AM
It's a shame that this has flopped. expected quite a bit from this.
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Apr 17 2018, 12:08 PM
It's not over, it has just entered the top 200 on Spotify following its Hot Hits addition and it's climbing iTunes as we speak.
It can still be a top 42 hit.
Posted by: ScarsOnTomboTing Apr 17 2018, 07:06 PM
Awesome, I hope it continues to climb on both charts!
Posted by: TomboOnBroadway Apr 18 2018, 08:55 PM
In a bizarre twist, Louisa has now dressed up as a lettuce
Posted by: Bartier Cqmerqn Apr 18 2018, 08:57 PM
Yes, a poster linked us to that photo weeks ago.
Posted by: TomboOnBroadway Apr 18 2018, 09:02 PM
Ah sorry I didn't realise that, she tweeted it a couple of days ago

...I still can't get over that photoshoot
Posted by: Theo. May 2 2018, 04:43 PM
Solo version:
They may as well release this version to buy/stream seeing as it's not going to do anything anyway at this point. The (brief) middle eight in place of 2 Chainz is pretty good!
Posted by: Jüpiter May 2 2018, 07:45 PM
I still can't get over them releasing for her comeback, after she's shown from her personality and social media videos etc. etc. that she wants to and can dance, a music video where not only does she not dance at all, only walks up some steps, she's hardly even in the video!
This video's much better despite the shoestring budget. What a waste of money that other video was, seriously, her manager should take a long hard look at themself.

That video though
Looks like it was recorded and edited on an iPhone 4.

At least they are still trying to make the song happen!

Posted by: Martyn Jul 13 2018, 09:09 PM
I think you mean “mutually decided not to work together anymore”.
New single to be released on Ministry of Sound next month. But don’t worry it’s stil part of the Sony Family 😂.
Will she be the first X Factor Winner to never release an album.
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Jul 13 2018, 11:02 PM
Poor bean.
We've known that for a while, but I think this conclusively confirms it.
Posted by: danG Jul 13 2018, 11:46 PM
Why am I not surprised?
Syco were basically setting her up for failure with this song, no way was it ever going to be a hit.
If she's on MoS then that's still good for her though, they may actually give her a decent song too. Not that it'll chart well (or at all) but still.
Posted by: Cqmerqn Jul 13 2018, 11:48 PM
YES flopped due to lack of support.
If they got her a decent New Music Friday placing, and managed to get a insta add on Hot Hits and Radio 1, then it would’ve been a bit.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever Jul 14 2018, 02:18 AM
No major shock but they should have released the album as from the songs released alone they nearly had an albums worth.
Posted by: KWEEN_DEE Jul 14 2018, 08:45 AM
YES was abysmal and anyone that wasn’t in the gay community knew that hence its lack of impact. Shes had SO MUCH promo & money invested into her. Shes just not a star. Maybe the featured vocalist route will work n
Posted by: Cqmerqn Jul 14 2018, 09:23 AM
So, has she actually just moved over to Ministry of Sound then?
Posted by: Joe. Jul 14 2018, 09:31 AM
^ nah she’s just on their comp. their comps release music from lots of labels.
YES just wasn’t great, especially for the GP. I know we gays love a big uptempo number but it was too dated for the charts. It did well enough with support that if the GP were interested it would have picked up. Hot Hits, big Capital and Kiss support...Did nothing.
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Jul 14 2018, 09:36 AM
I feel like she mainly flopped at this point because it's her, she didn't really have a hope in hell.
Posted by: Cqmerqn Jul 14 2018, 09:41 AM
Part of the problem is that Tears, So Good, Best Behaviour and YES all have nothing slightly in common
Tears is very dancey
So Good is ballad-slow like pop
Best Behaviour is a trashy bop
YES is dated
Posted by: ___∆___ Jul 14 2018, 02:17 PM
She just needs to concentrate on being a guest vocalist now on dance tracks rather than trying to be the next Pixie Lott.
Posted by: Jüpiter Jul 14 2018, 02:20 PM
Ultimately I think she won it too young.
It's hard to get invested in the career of someone who's not even a legal adult. Especially when she wants to make 'mature' music.
Posted by: lewistgreen Jul 14 2018, 02:29 PM
Interesting for MOS to sign her, they don't usually opt for non-dance acts other than London Grammar so will be intrigued to hear what they'll do with her.
Posted by: danG Jul 14 2018, 02:31 PM
They should give her a feature on a hot new dance song, that's probably the only way she'll be able to get back in the chart.
Posted by: Andrew. Jul 14 2018, 02:32 PM
I adore YES but it would’ve flopped a decade ago, let alone in 2018. Hetty’s have no taste
Posted by: Catherine91 Jul 14 2018, 02:49 PM
I'm surprised it's taken them this long to drop her really!
Posted by: Mack. Jul 14 2018, 03:01 PM
She could go back to her old friends, Clean Bandit for a hit or Rudimental.
Posted by: ___∆___ Jul 14 2018, 07:24 PM
Would any of the big dance acts actually want her though? There is no shortage of more successful female artists willing to be a feature on the next hot dance track.
Posted by: lewistgreen Jul 14 2018, 09:35 PM
I'm assuming then that the Zac Samuel/One Bit confirmed collab will be said single.
Posted by: JAKE Jul 14 2018, 10:04 PM
