    This was ahead of it's time - people weren't ready for minimalist beats like this back then and someone singing in this style with a heavy accent

    How come that the most talented of the "Girls Aloud" bunch was so neglected when she released this heck of an album? It is so unfair. This is pure golden pop, the best. Shame on people for not appreciating this masterpiece. So underrated. The whole album is magnificent, so is she.

      @@josmeff8901Cheryl only used AutoTune because everyone told her that her natural singing voice was crap. And then when she tried to make it sound better was slammed for being a faker. 🤷🏻‍♂️
      Seriously what was the girl supposed to do? Nothing she did was ever right apparently.

    Lol, why does this song have so many dislikes? This song and others on her album had SO much more depth and witticism than any of the other members of Girls Aloud's other solo efforts. Plus, this is so much more original for someone from a pop background; I mean sampling Major Lazer for a start (better than Beyonce did in Run The World, too), you've gotta give her credit!
    And to all the 'cool' people saying, 'I'm 13 or whatever and I hate this song'. Does it matter? Maybe you don't appreciate the musical and lyrical substance to her work, but I was 14 when this came out and I'm 17 now and still love this song.

    This song will always remind me of the day at a dance competition when 4 different dance schools had a team dance to this exact song and near enough had the same moves too!

    Dancing to the beat of Nicola, the best way to get in shape.

    The post production of this video made it the masterpiece for the ages it ended up being...utter perfection.
