Tom: This is not an intro that you’d expect from Armin van Buuren. The rest of it…
Tom: Let’s get something out of the way: the lyrics here are not great. “How am I supposed to only / look at you as my homie” is one of several really rough examples.
Tim: Yeah – that whole second verse, really, with the shower line and the legs shaking bit as well.
Tom: It’s a shame, because everything else about that chorus is good: particularly those brass-like synth stabs in the background.
Tim: It really is – and far more than I was hoping for from a song with Ne-Yo in the artist credits.
Tom: Then we have a middle eight, and it ends! I know, that’s how music works these days, but I really do think this needed a Big Final Chorus. Maybe I’m just old-fashioned.
Tim: Hmm, interesting you put it like that – that disappointing bit around the one minute mark strikes me as more middle eight-y, with its complete lack of resemblance to anything else. I’d say we’ve just a complete lack of standard structure, but you know what? That’s fine.
