Over her limited career, Leona has proven herself to be the master of the ballad - from Bleeding Love to Run and I See You from the Avatar soundtrack. Forgive Me proved she is capable of a decent up tempo track, but she's been restricted and labelled as a one-trick pony.
It's an epithet this song only fuels further - essentially a ballad dressed up in faux-dance production. Whilst her voice soars as she sings "Crash into me at full speed" (a rather suicidal lyric), it's never given the full reign it deserves. By not following a normal verse-chorus structure it feels unsatisfying. And the only word to describe the production is dull.
All in all this is utter drivel. Leona is in need of a career boost, but this track isn't it.
