Nn it was this time that Sia was writing flops for everyone like hot cakes  (bar Diamonds)

[chiliam]

the song is mid but the album is decent. She really should have some more success with music, her voice is insane and unique but maybe it`s too theater to smash in pop.

It's too bad this was the lead  Louder is one of my fave albums and has so many excellent songs and she released one of the bottom 3 songs first

[popmusicisdead]

this song is very generic Sia but i actually like it

[Diet Pepsi]

I remember being so hyped for this album in middle school but it was awful

Lea Michelle just doesn’t have a voice for pop music

We are all 10 years older.

[Anti-Hero]

I love this song

[GentleEarthquake]

Is this the girl who can't read?

[SoldierofLove]

Whenever I see her name, all I can think about is her pooping in her Glee co-star’s wig.

*Pop listeners aren't sophisticated enough to appreciate her theatrical voice !

The album had so many better tracks on it but I understand why they went with this as the single. I enjoyed her little pop star era.

[Yoko]

sia’s pen is just horrible sometimes like the lyrics here are  with better material lea could’ve delivered some good stuff her theatrical cadence is fun 

[pavi]

This song is cringe and the album clearly lacked identity, but damn, I used to scream some of these songs along back then 

[Kern]

her only song ever

I never understood how artists would take a Sia track and BARELY sing over her voice from the demo, release it, and then not credit her as a feature or co-lead.  Lea is basically singing along on this 

[SpaceOddity]

You'd think being on Glee, with Cory's death being so recent then and this being her first album, she'd look inwards, seek out the best writers and actually take her time to develop something big big instead of whatever Louder was. She had everything she needed for a huge era back then, it's the fact that she has zero musical instinct whatsoever to actually craft a good album. Or maybe she didn't care enough.

I really like this song!

[Alaska.]

The song is super basic but it's cute. I gave it some listens
