I loved this track from the minute I heard it & the lyrics are so very apt. It was difficult numerically from the start & many said ,'Don't do it, It's too complicated, No-one will ever dance it'... but I was determined to give it life, & am proud to send it into the universe just as it is.
If no one loves it,that's ok because I do.! Take it from a girl like me ...
