Tim: Fresh from providing us with this year’s best Melodifestivalen entry, she’s following up with this rather great number.
Tom: I still can’t see her last name without thinking of Papa Lazarou out of the League of Gentlemen.
Tim: Oh… 🙁

Tim: What a chorus, really. And what a tune underneath it. And what an everything, really. A song about giving love everything you’ve got, and a song that musically does exactly that.
Tom: Ooh, I’m not sure about that. It is a good chorus, I’ll grant you that, but it’s not going to light up a dance floor — and that verse just lost my attention.
Tim: Probably not light up a dance floor, no – but I reckon it’d do very well as a getting worked up tune, before your night starts BANGING.
Tom: And what’s with that odd “la la la” middle eight? It’s like several different bits of song all glued together.
Tim: I don’t know, I think it works. It’s very much headed back to the dancefloor following the power-pop that was Survivor, is out now in Greece and presumably she’s hoping it’ll be a big dance hit over the summer. I certainly hope it will, so here’s to not holding back, right?
Tom: I just wish the writers hadn’t.
