Besides the overly cliche title, the lyrics and melody are beyond bland. It seems perfectly suited for Adult Contemporary radio, but even Kris can do better than this. It's just a cover of some other band's bad song. Time will tell if radio will bother to play this. It'll either sink or swim based on its blandness.

What possessed him to record this shit? Or perhaps it was the wonderful folks at 19 pulling the strings.....

I know he was on Idol but really...

Could anything be worse for an artist's career than having their debut single be a cover song? Apparently it's the best material on the album and not even his own!

It sounded like Idol burying another career.

The song would be nice, but it's too repetitive. It needs a bridge or something, or cut the length in half. The other big reason the song sounds boring is his voice, while okay, is so normal. The original singer (youtube clip) has a little more quirky sound to his voice. But it's still a boring song even in the original version. This is exactly what Sligh was talking about, he needs somebody to tell him that the song puts him to sleep.

Kris has a really nice voice, but this song has such a loud background it is hard to really hear his singing. I'm planning on buying it and am waiting for Allison's and Adam's first singles also.

Yes, I'm a die hard Kradison fan.

I am pretty sure Jive picks the songs to put out to the public, but Jive records picked a song that is already all over Youtube by another group...lol

How stupid was that?

At least knock the other song out first...lol

Way too overproduced, this track would work better stripped back to a semi acoustic feel. It may do well, it sounds like 1,000,000 other songs just like it. But very meh.

And not using his face on the single art? Dumb move, 19. You finally have a winner who doesn't look like a gargoyle, tranny or homeless person. Capitalise on that.

Forgettable.

Hope Adam and Allison get better ones, while Danny gets a worse one.
