'Power' is THAT song, such an 11 out of 10, but I can't give it my 11 due to another song being on the album.

I wasn't thrilled with the 'Stormzy' verse to begin, I remember feeling underwhelmed, but it works MUCH better than whatever 'Kid Ink' did.

The beginning never fails to blow me away! AN INTRODUCTION *.*

This is insanely catchy! Stormzy slotted in perfectly with a fantastic empowering verse! This always POPS OFF live. I wish we had a huge televised performance of it, but the timing was unlucky </3 (They ended up doing Ari's One Love Concert instead wub.gif)

The lyric "you can be a woman and the boss and wear the trousers at the same time" is such a BRILLIANT lyric wub.gif

'No More Sad Songs' is LUSH and sorely underrated compared to the other singles from this era wub.gif I'm generally not huge on the tropical sound, but the likes of this and Ariana's 'Be Alright' really made the tropical-tinged pop sound work really well.

No More Sad Songs is a massive bop but the original is so much better than the single version. The chorus is killer and the girl's verses are great. Although, I can't stress enough how much the MGK verse bothers me.

It's honestly one of the cheapest and laziest guest raps I've ever heard. The lines are so basic and overdone, it sounds like something a 13 year old would write as their first ever verse.

I think I've made it pretty clear just how much I love this song. It just ALWAYS puts me in the right mood and Machine Gun Kelly's verse is ICONIC. "TASTE!"

It never gets old for me, no matter how many times I play it. wub.gif

The singles campaign for this era... One of the best campaigns.. ever!?

Yeh tropical somehow became generic very quickly, but THIS does it all so right. Whenever it's on the radio or it comes on a playlist I instantly get in a better mood and I don't know why it does that to me, I got the same with 'Higher' by The Saturdays and anything by Ariana. laugh.gif

I've never massively got into 'Oops'! Always found it a bit too juvenile. Glad it wasn't pushed as a proper single in the end.

I really love Oops kink.gif The chorus get's stuck in your head too easily. The most bearable Charlie Puth has ever sounded too.

The X Factor performance was iconic and I was so annoyed it stalled at #41.

This is 100% a label choice to include on the album. :') There's a better "Meghan Trainor knock-off" coming up. For what this is though... I bop to it ph34r.gif This would have been MASSIVE with a proper push though!

Although the recent revelations about Charlie shading the girls despite recording this song and performing with them just coz Jade didn't want to go on a date with him or something is :\

It feels awkward listening to this knowing Charlie tried it on with Jade. kink.gif

I bet Syco was BEGGING to release this, it's such a Syco song, just saying. laugh.gif

This is such a guilty pleasure laugh.gif reminds me a bit of 'Going Nowhere' thematically.

We were on the same wavelength there! laugh.gif

'You Gotta Not' is fun, you can literally hear 'Meghan Trainor' on it and compared to other tracks on the album it just isn't up there.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS FUN. Like it's ABSURD BUT SUCH A BANGER. The better of the M-Train Knock-offs that I mentioned earlier!

So bouncy and just joyously cute and fun! The way that I think this would have been a smash hit though...

They really were untouchable with this era!

The lyrics of You Gotta Not are a bit cringy (you can tell Meghan Trainor was involved) but it won me over, probably through sheer determination due to me spamming the album so much.
