Sounds very promising on 1st listen (which is normally a good sign).

This is so stunning :wub:

I love the verse and the 2nd chorus is just absolutely stunning :wub:

This is actually very good! I wasn't rushing to listen to it after 'Beating Heart' disappointed me, but Rob insisted I should. Thanks Rob x

So amazing, best thing she's done since 'Anything Could Happen'.

God this is fire.

Echoing the love for this throughout the thread. It was so immediate for me (especially as it's one of the first songs that I heard the radio premiere of in years!) Hopefully Ellie gets a massive smash out of this as well, I'm hoping for her third album to be released this year and for it to absolutely dominate!

This is incredible and I can see it being huge!

Totally agree

Surely another number 1 for her? I really do believe that (obviously ignoring any "surprise" releases) this will be the song to knock 'Uptown Funk' off of the top spot. But I do wonder if she'll perform this at the BRITS if she gets a slot. I hope so.

Thank God this could actually smash in the US.

most added on pop radio this week and looking to all intents and purposes, being the next #01 after mark ronson (a brit replacing a brit too)

 

ellie is well on her way to becoming a global force and though whilst not a great fan of hers anymore compared to the early days, i can't help but admire her career trajectory. from the herefordshire girl with the 'under the sheets' demo on myspace to international popstar, it really is quite something...

I was thinking exactly this the other day. It's a remarkable trajectory given how niche her appeal appeared to be at the very beginning, even when she broke though with 'Starry Eyed', and certainly to me she seemed a quintessentially British act whose voice and style wouldn't translate too well to the US or other markets. Also, as a person she's quite reserved and it's not often that such an unassuming personality makes it so big and manages to maintain that success over a number of hits.

 

Anyway, this song has grown considerably on me :music:. As Ryan said already, I wonder if its success will mean it's adopted as the first single of her new album a la 'Boom Clap'. It'll almost definitely make it as a deluxe track at the least.

i can't get this song outta my head. pop perfection

the song (which has grown), video and film look tacky as fuck and all the better for it *.*

The video is a bit meh for me, especially after Thinking out Loud did the dance thing....

Still a great song though.

 

Does anyone know if the song actually features in the movie??

HMMMM someone has to piss on this parade so :hi: I'm not really massively feeling this on first listen :( The vocals in parts sound a little odd and it all just feels a bit half-arsed and boring. Like, could they at least have written more than 2 lyrics for the chorus? And I see what she's going for with the last chorus but it just seems to me like the same boring thing just repeated a bit louder which doesn't make it any better. I'm sure it'll grow on me but very disappointed with this especially after the massive love it's received (plus I've been a big fan of most of Ellie's singles including 'Beating Heart').

breezi i don't like it either. feels very robotic and emotionless and really anonymous. likewise i can see what it's trying to do, i just feel it doesn't ever get there and have its MOMENT ;(

I think Ellie succeeds in delivering emotion in this more than most of her other stuff.

AGREED. And as for not having a moment, that final chorus is about the biggest 'moment' in pop for like the past 12 months, I find it so impactful and incredible. 3 weeks later and I'm still not even slightly bored of hammering it.
