Background
During an interview with Harp, Stone said of the song:
It's like a feel-good, 'up' kind of song. Kinda Jackson 5-ish, but I made it my own. It's classy, and musicians will appreciate it. Raphael played the bass and he fucking killed it—he's my favorite bass player right now. And we used all live drums; we put in scratches and stuff, but the drums were played.[1]
Critical reception
IndieLondon.co.uk gave the song a four-star rating, calling it a "welcome return for Joss Stone to the type of retro-heavy territory that first made her standout on the Soul Sessions LP."[2] Digital Spy's Nick Levine rated the song three stars, deeming it "a lithe, sparky old-school soul workout on which Stone proclaims her love for the man her 'heart demaaands'", adding that "[h]er terrific voice never has anything very interesting to say."[3]
