I'm not quite at the point where it's my favourite of their singles, but it's definitely not far off Higher at this stage.

It deserved better :D

It's gorgeous. The chorus is kind of anthemic. Never understood how it flopped. Probably my third favourite single behind Missing You and All Fired Up. With What About Us unexpectedly hustling for a top 3 position after me thinking it was shit for months!

 

What's is gonna be are you willingly walking away from this....? :cry:

What about us has always been fantastic. Prefer the Sean Paul version cause it sounds a little more full than the solo version but the solo version has that amazing Bridge. Anyway, MHTO = pure unadulterated awesomeness!

The Video is pure beauty!!

This song is amazing, can´t believe this flopped

It's a lovely song, but was an AWFUL single choice.

It wasnt any worse that If this is love, Just cant get enough, work, Forver is over!!! Better than them :D

I always thought My Heart Takes Over was like Issues Part 2, probs because them + Wish I Didn't Know are my fav songs haha XD

 

Edit: I think it would do really well if they re-recorded it (giving all the girls a bit to sing) and put it on the new album. I remember many being angered by the fact Una, Mollie and Frankie didn't even get a solo line

It was kinda weird that they didnt have a solo line. Still an amazing song though :)

It's stunning. It's definitely in my top 3 Sats singles! I agree with both Jark and John who have both said the chorus is really, anthemic. The lack of airplay for it (especially for that time of year) was baffling. Heart & Capital should have been all over it. :( This is definitely the 'Whole Lotta History' in their singles campaigns. It's my favourite vocal from both Vanessa & Rochelle and the video is just as stunning as the song.

This is one of my favourite singles from them, if no the best. It's one of their songs that I can just go back to at anytime and it still sounds top notch.

I agree. It's just like I can go back to If This Is Love all the time.

It would have sounded better with more of a piano based sound, like Mollie was playing on a flip the other week. Anyway I love MHTO it's lovely.

 

It was also most likely chosen as a single as it features no solo vocals from Frankie or Una, both of whom were potentials for missing promo slots during the release, due to their depression and pregnancy respectively.

I really liked it (in my Top 20 favourites of 2011)! Didn't think it would chart as low as #15 though, and as for only spending four weeks in the Top 200... :cry:

It's really beautiful. I think The Saturdays are one of the few girlbands that do ballads really well, and not necessary because of the emotions, the lyrics or the melody. I don't know, they just got it right.

 

It's a nice track, definitely. It wasn't a good single, though. It doesn't punch you enough as a ballad.

 

Although I'll agree that I'm surprised it flopped. I mean, I wasn't expecting a hit, not even something ala Notorious, but I thought it could have done 160k actually...

I think it's a strong ballad, certainly leaps and bounds better than 'Issues' at any rate!

I find it hard to compare MHTO and Issues (although I do prefer the former). Issues is so different, it's mellow and almost folk-y whereas My Heart Takes Over is beat-driven and power-pop-ish.

 

Its bloody brilliant!!
