What do you make of this song?

I remember the first time I heard the song and watched the video on KISS TV in 2005 in my living room, I knew she was going to be a star. Crazy to think that she was just 17 when she released this banger of a debut single. Pon De Replay has really aged well too! The song still goes off.

All through that summer holiday the music channels were all about this and Don't Cha. Such a strong debut single from her and imo it has stood the test of time. It's impossible not to bop to it whenever it comes on. Those earrings though.

I’ll admit it now I got her so wrong. The song itself has grown a lot! I’d love it if come out today. Weirdly I don’t think it’s aged like it still sounds current and could actually work as being a hit now. It’s a great track looking back and she does possess star quality and attitude in the video as well. This always sounds perfect in a club or during warm weather.

I’ll admit it now I got her so wrong. I think everyone thought that thought that, until 'SOS' came along the general consensus was that she'd just fade away. I don't think anyone could predict she'd go on to become what she did. It's always fun when it's played on a night out. I only really occasionally go back to it by choice though.

Even with SOS it seemed more like she'd got lucky and become a two-hit wonder. It wasn't really until Umbrella / Good Girl Gone Bad as anyone started taking her seriously as a pop force.
