What are your thoughts on this now? I absolutely adored this at the time and still do. Such a good pop song. Shocked to see that this has 1.3b views on YouTube though! That makes it the 71st biggest music video on YT! CGyEd0aKWZE

there's nothing straight about plump Elvis Pronouns: they/any Joined: 21 January 2016 Posts: 13,144 User: 22,895	100% agree with above comment. First sign of completely selling out & a red flag. But a good earner for her.

Her music took a dive in quality during this era and would continue to do so, save for a few exceptions Good for her that it was a first #1 although I definitely preferred 'Love Me Like You Do' out of her chart toppers.

Whoever released this would’ve had a hit in some form but Ellie was just in the right place at the right time. Not one of her best but better than her last three singles where she’s been the lead artist.
