Love the song. Love the video. It's a camp masterpiece.
Sure the lyrics aren't high-brow. But they are meaningful. It's liberating and joyful. I'm thrilled to see Melanie owning her sporty spice pop persona in her solo work. It's like she's really accepting her whole self and all she's achieved. This post has been edited by Michael Andrew: 6th November 2019, 10:21 PM |

I really like it actually.
Personally really happy that Mel C has provided something that feels (for her) fresh. Most of her music has been quite same-y for a looooong time now, so this is a bit of a good and welcomed change. Let's see how it does. |

I'm a little surprised this one's so divisive. To me, it's immediately likable and pretty flawlessly catchy. Having heard the actual studio recording now, I can honestly say it's about my 6th favorite of all her singles (not my 6th favorite of her songs in general...but singles?...yeah). I really wish she'd unleashed something like this in the mid-2000s...when she still stood a chance of getting a hit...and could make waves with a big dance song.
I do think the song's far stronger than the video. I don't hate the video or anything. I like that she's enjoying herself and seems to be in her element. I like her little crew. But I do think it could disguise the low budget better. I also wish we could have gotten some big choreography bits with Mel and her crew together...instead of them just doing a few little hand gestures or whatever. She can dance. They can dance. I think it might have been fun to see such a diverse crew all doing a big routine. But. Whatever. I'm a fan. |

I don’t like it think it’s even worse than I want candy, but not as bad as cool as you...

Why are Sink the Pink credited if they are only featured in the video?

I actually think the worst bit of the video is the bit with the choreography in black & white in front of a curtain. If she had removed that and made it in colour maybe on a stage (nothing fancy, just a stage) it probably would look much better. The black and white cheapens it a lot actually! The song is a BOP! Whilst it is not her best, it is certainly the best single since the Northern Start era (and yes I am counting Think about It on that too cos she sounds like she is screaming in the chorus on that one!). FINALLY I can get behind a Melanie C single ahah

She finally have a nice Music Video.
The song is okay, not her best but it never pretend to be. I agree, she should had release it when she was touring, but here it is. I like the lyrics, it's different. No need another song talking about love again. |

It's not bad but it's not one of her best.

It’s just a means to attach the Sink the Pink name as being involved in this project. Maybe “presents” would have been more appropriate than “featuring”, but honestly it’s not that deep

I mean I know this wont chart but if it is allowed for this release surely chart hits could just tack on a name as a ft and get artists chart hits they had no involvement in. |

It was written with Sink The Pink, for Sink The Pink. Sink The Pink is the video prominently. For all we know, they might have collaborated on it as well somehow, like giving ideas, etc. It comes from a body of work that is beyond just the single, but including the Summer Pride tour, etc. They probably also invested in it. So there you have it. It is a collaboration in various ways and it means everybody gets credited. Like Jay said, it isnt that deep. |

Add that Sink The Pink likely helped to fund it via the Pride gigs they surely helped her get via their connections.

But for the charts credits on a release are the singer and or producer, or singles would have ft the woman who played the triangle or ft the guy who designed the artwork, as they are involved in the making of the product. It is extremely unusual for a credit to be given to someone not the singer or producer. |

An example I thought of is Tony Christie featuring Peter Kay - Is This the Way to Amarillo - a UK #1 single! Peter Kay just lip synced to it in the music video.
