Catchy pop! The right person won X-Factor.
Infinitely better winners single than Good Night!

It's quite generic but it's killer and she deserved to win X-Factor this year.

Okay, but it is generic though. 3.5*.

Would much prefer a different sounding original track to make #1 this week (AKA "Thrift Shop"), but with the publicity this has already received and is still yet to receive, there is no chance that it will happen :(

EDIT: Fairly good, despite it being another generic pop track. 3.5* -> 4*.

It may be better than Good Night, but it's painfully generic and boring. I understand she may be a great talent, but songs like this completely detract from her full potential.

EDIT: It's not as bad as I thought, and I agree that this really is amazing for a song produced by DNA Songs :P

Very solid pop track. Deserving winner, and very happy she won!

Another incredibly lame generic pointless pop song. I've never watched x-factor and this is why.

No I can't really hate on this. For DNA Songs' standard, it's quite amazing. My main problem is a very nitpicky one (you have been warned!), but I think the chorus would be better if the melody was rearranged on the 2nd line of the chorus (the "I'm a heartbeat on the run" etc line). The impact should rise instead of drop at the end of the measure. Again, very nitpicky but that's all I think every time I hear it, and it always makes it fall flat for me unfortunately. Apart from that, it's well structured and the bridge leads well into the final chorus. 3.5

I can like this. I don't have a problem with her voice and the song is only mildly generic and mostly very catchy and enjoyable, and she's not a harpy on the run.

Der Siegersong der Siegerin von X-Factor Australia 2012. Nun, ich glaube, mit ihrer Stimme kann man viel mehr machen, sehr einfach geratene Popnummer. Knappe 4*

Das ist alles, was "X Factor" in Australien zu bieten hat? Eher dünnes Durchschnittsstimmchen, das einen eher dünnen Plastikpop-Titel runternudelt. Das alles ist zwar sehr eingängig, aber aus künstlerischer Sicht kaum substanziell.

Solide bis gute 3.

I particular find the way she sings the title annoying, but aside from that it's a typically unremarkable talent show #1.

I think this is gonna cop a lot of flack since it's the X Factor winner's single, which are never going to be that good, because who's going to give a fantastic song to someone if there's only a 1 in 3 chance of it ever being released? This isn't half-bad though, it's catchy and unlike 'Good Night' it's pleasant enough - and it's really not that generic compared to most of the shite that comes out today. Really, I think it's quite good.

Immer noch besser, dass sie die aktuelle australische The X-Factor-Staffel gewonnen hat und nicht The Collective, nicht gross in Erinnerung bleibender Dance-Pop-Titel, 3*…

Everytime i hear this I just think it;s a Jessica Mauboy demo. Imagine Ms Mauboy belting this out.... anyway Sammy's vocals are good and it's listenable. Deserves the success.

Sounds kinda like a Robyn song. I like it but the chorus could have been better. The 'that's what you've what you've done to me' sounds very disjointed.

Lucky to get a 3* This is quite bland except for some good parts within the melody.

EDIT: Constant radio airplays has actually worked for me. 4*

I don't watch the X Factor, but this song is actually pretty good in my opinion.

Love this song, I'm so glad that Samantha won because she deserves it and is much better than the other two grand finalists from this year and Reece Mastin from last year.

This is a very solid offering especially from the DNA stable of hit makers.
Samantha Jade however still has to sell it to me because all I see her is as a rehash of Kylie Minogue.
Time will tell if she can eclipse this offering or fade into the abyss of dismal pop stars.
For the record this isn't a #1 deserving record but what is these days?

It's not bad for a winners single, but nothing to write home about.

Unsuprisingly, better than any of Reece Mastin's songs. This is one catchy song.

Gut gelaunter Dancepoptrack, der mir eine aufgerundete 4-5 wert ist.

Generic pop winners single. Because I don't hear it anymore it gets a 3 but if I was reviewing it in late 2012/early 2013 it would get a 2.

I remember going to a party last year where we went to a bowling alley and this song came on. I think I have never liked this song more than when I heard it there. It's good and very catchy but I can't help but think that this song is just destined to be another little catchy song that is played at parties.
