Tulisa is soooo underrated! This song is fantastic! I wish she would get more representation

I’m surprised that Tulisa isn’t a bigger deal in the US—she’s amazing!
hunter
This has been one of my all time fav songs since it came out and I live in the US. Ordered a Female Boss physical copy when it was released and almost 8 years later and it’s still a solid banger!
Joseph Lewis
I hope Tulisa hears this and reads this-she's a really really great singer, she's beautiful, she has a fantastic voice, she does very good music and she was a brilliant judge on the X factor. I think she should return to being a permanent judge on the X factor with Nicole Scherzinger.
Katie Moreland
I love this song by Tulisa I heard it last week when I was flicking through the music channels and I left it on because I recongnised the voice so I left it on to see who it was singing and I was right that it was Tulisa and out of all the solo singles she's done this one is the best one and then young, this is the type of song you would hear in all the clubs and everyone would be up dancing because we know how much Tulisa likes to party in her videos like Live It Up. Great song T love it xxxxxx
Joseph Lewis
This song, to me, should have been a single by tulisa. It's very very convincing.
