I have a confession to make… I HATED David Guetta’s collaboration with Kelly Rowland upon my first listen in the Summer of 2009, I mean I REALLY hated it. But why did I have such a undeniably negative reaction to such an upbeat and danceable track that is sung so soulfully by Kelly Rowland? Who knew she had that much oomph in her voice? I had to check out to make sure Kelly hadn’t blown up to a Weather Girl like state to get that power. Seriously, I guess it’s because with all the crap that was going on in 2009, that sugary sweet of a song was just, kind of tone deaf to what was happening in the news. The song did however grow on me and by the end of 2009 I found myself singing along to the YEEAHAHs with the rest of the crowd. That’s what makes for a good song, it wins you over. Whats makes this a one of the best dance tracks of 2009 is that you shake your butt while you give in.
