The single was certified as Silver and sold over 285,000 copies to date. The third single was released on January 4th 2009 and was called Issues.

The Saturdays' Love Come Down is a song that explores the feeling of being powerless under the hold of love. Each verse sung by a different member of the girl group speaks of the intense longing and helplessness that love brings. One can't help but feel elevated by the catchy chorus, which is simply a repetition of the phrase "you make my love come down." The song is about the all-consuming nature of love and how it can leave you breathless and wanting more.
The opening verse of the song sung by Rochelle describes a sleepless night. Her dreams are consumed with the desire for this person she's singing about, and she can't help but wish that they would hold her tight. The next verse sung by Una presents the idea that love can be dangerous, like a thief in the night that stole her heart. Finally, Vanessa sings that she can't do without this person's love, and cries out that there is no way out.
