I can imagine this being quite good. Lots of Perrie and Jesy adlibs all over the song.

I can see this being a more Leigh-Anne song tbh!

I was listening to 'Move' again earlier and it bizarrely reminds me of this song. So I can definitely imagine it working for them, whether it actually does or not, remains to be heard!

They should make one of the album tracks a b-side.

I love this song and the Mel G version. I really hope they smash it with this and it doesn't affect their album campaign. I've not been a HUGE fan of charity covers for comic / sport relief for quite a few years - so I don't hold out too much hope.

Ooh! Wasn't expecting it to premiere so soon. I hope this succeeds and is a good remake but I'm really not feeling it as I don't like the song at all sad.gif

MEH.

I'm disappointed that they've potentially ruined the Salute momentum by doing this. I would have preferred them promoting the album rather than promoting a sports relief single.

I like it, love the accapella start and the break down in the middle-8. Hopefully we get really lively performances and video for this. I can understand why people might be a bit meh when they have amazing uptempos on Salute (as more sport relief singles are original it's a shame they didn't just use their own song), but it will gain them some attention and get a guaranteed hit that also has the plus of doing good for people around the world so it's not a bad thing, plus I personally like the song and their version so I'm quite happy atm.

For me now:
1. Move
2. Wings
3. DNA
4. Word Up
5. How Ya Doin'?
6. Little Me
7. Change Your Life
8. Cannonball

So yeah I quite like it. I hope the video sells it so much more. I always thought the lyrics to the song was 'quick march' not 'quick mama' though... whoops.

I really like it, it's so fun and brimming with personality!

Granted, it's not quite Competition or Nothing Feels Like You as an uptempo single choice but I'm impressed!
