"All Fired Up" received positive reviews from critics, with many commending the song's "girlish vibe and unabashed pop sensibility". The song was performed live on television for the first time on Tonight's the Night . Before the release of the single the music video for "All Fired Up" was released on 10 August 2011. The music video was originally due to be released on 9 August 2011 at 10:30 am on the band's official website; however due to technical issues it was uploaded a day late. According to the band, the music video is a lot more fashion-based and a lot more graphic-y as they said they wanted something different due to all their previous music videos having a storyline to them; this one is just a lot more fashion. Within the digital download EP the band released a cover of "I Need a Dollar" by Aloe Blacc.

—The Saturdays on "All Fired Up" [2]

"All Fired Up" was written by Brian Higgins, Tim Deal, Matt Gray, Annie Yuill, MNEK and Miranda Cooper and was produced by Brian Higgins and Xenomania. The song was recorded in 2011 after the band said they wanted to try some music which was a lot more "sexier" and "definitely a different sound". [3] The song was recorded at Xenomania. The band revealed that a lot of the songs on the album (including "All Fired Up") are about love which the inspiration of the songs came from their celebrity boyfriends; David Gandy [Mollie King], Wayne Bridge [Frankie Sandford], Marvin Humes [Rochelle Wiseman], and Ben Foden [Una Healy]. However, Vanessa who is the only single one drew inspiration as she loved to party and the song is a very party song. [4] However, the band did point that they were singing about how girls are better than boys, then calling themselves feisty on the album. [5]

"All Fired Up" is an electroclash and dance-pop track and the second single released from the band's upcoming third studio album. It was confirmed that Space Cowboy would be working on their newest album, however it was also confirmed that the band were working with Xenomania's Brian Higgins. [6] The band confirmed that they wanted Space Cowboy to get involved in the album after he led Lady Gaga to huge success whom we worked with on tracks ("Just Dance" and "Poker Face"). [7] The band wanted to work with MNEK after he produced a lot of Tinie Tempah's smash hits, and they are big fans of his music. [8] When the band was asked to explain the single they said; "All Fired Up" was explained as think "Ibiza closing party meets Miami poolside rave – the girls continue to blow us away as their signature pop vocals are played over a synth dance beat creating this anthemic dance banger." [8] The band labelled the track as their "floor filler". [9] The song was speculated as the second single from the band's album, due to the band announcing the All Fired Up Tour a few months before they revealed the "All Fired Up" as the second single. [10] The band shared their confidence with releasing the track due to them saying "Dance music is huge right now" however, they said they could on judge the reaction from Twitter and when the band have performed the song and the song has been requested a lot on the radio. [2] The band confirmed that "All Fired Up" would be a "departure from dance music" as they said "It won't be any more dancey than "All Fired Up", that's as dancey as we'll get now. Our next single will be something along the lines of a ballad. There are a couple of ballads on the album." [2] They went on to say if they made it any more dancey the song would be "too hardcore" [2] The band revealed that Britney Spears and Rihanna's dance-pop style influenced the band to want to record a dance track. [11] They said that the song is "definitely more clubbier" than their previous material. [5] The band said releasing dance tracks is not means that they do not just have a "typical girl band sound", they also said "the great thing about pop music you get to try lots of different music". [5] The track receive its first ever airplay on BBC Radio 1 on 22 July 2011, when Scott Mills airs it on his 'Ready for the Weekend' show between 6-7pm. [12] In an interview, Una Healy said; "This is [All Fired Up] definitely the danciest song we've ever made and it's the danciest track on the album too but there are lots of different styles on the album. We understand that dance music is very big at the moment and when you're a pop act you can venture into different genres." [13]

Release

"All Fired Up" was confirmed to be the second single from the Saturdays' then-upcoming third studio album, in which it would feature.

[19]

Critical reception

Digital Spy said: "Blow my mind, DJ, blow my mind," The Saturdays member Vanessa [White] demands in a hazy and heavily synthesised fashion on the intro of the new The Saturdays single. Opening with what feels as if we've caught her in the middle of a boozy night out, it not only makes a change from her usual ad-libbing duties, but marks a sizeable shift for a group whose image relied on being squeaky clean... until now, that is. We make the party super naughty," Rochelle [Wiseman] teases before strutting her stuff on the bar, while serial good-girl Mollie [King] unleashes her inner animal as she chants "getcha claws out" over a thumping Xenomania-helmed beat. Meanwhile, Frankie [Sandford] finds herself on "the edge of desire" in a quiet corner with her fella and Una [Healy] urges hers not to forget her anytime soon. Given the result is handbag house-pop at its very best, we can't see that being much of a problem." Overall, Digital Spy decided upon the reward the band a four out of 5 stars. [20] Gigulate said; "Their fun, girlish vibe and unabashed pop sensibility has been traded for a cookie-cutter electro-pop sound." [21]

UK Stand Up praised the song after they said not only is the song different music from what the band are normally creating, and they like to see them taking risks. They went on to say that not only will current fans love "All Fired Up" but will "open doors" to new fans for the band and new paths will be available to walk down for "new generation fans". They also said they were happy to see the band are taking new steps and moving away from the pop music. They finally said "This mature sound is very upbeat and guaranteed to have you on your feet within seconds". [22]

Not all reviews were positive for "All Fired Up", Grant Howitt from FHM said; "It's about having a good old dance. Fair enough. It's a fine topic for a pop song, being as it is number three on a list of three possible pop topics ("I fancy you, which is a good thing" and "You don't fancy me, which is a bad thing" are the other two), and we can imagine having a good old boogie to it ourselves. After a few, obviously, it's not something we'd go into sober." [23] However, Cool FM said the girls continue to blow them away as their signature pop vocals are played over a synth dance beat creating this anthemic dance banger. [24] OK! Magazine said they loved "All Fired Up" and that ever since they first heard the track, they could not get the song out of their heads. [25]

Commercial reception

" It's pretty close and we'd love to get that number one but I've got a feeling Pixie Lott might get it. She's our biggest rival but she's also a friend. She's here tonight so I'm sure we'll wish her luck over a glass of bubbly"

—The Saturdays talk about the pre-chart nerves [26]

When asked about the single, the band said, "Well "Notorious" did fantastically well and we'd be delighted to get into the top ten again. "All Fired Up" has had fantastic feedback from the fans on Facebook and Twitter so we're confident but at the same time we'd never say that if it doesn't get to number one then it's not a hit because we have lots of songs that's people love that didn't get to the top." [13] According to the midweek charts at the time, Lott was due to debut at number one on Sunday with "All About Tonight", however; it was then said that the Saturdays could take over as they are only 1,000 copies behind Lott. [27] It was later announced that Lott was up 1,200 more than the band. [28] Upon its release, the single entered the Irish Singles Charts at number-six becoming the band's fifth top ten hit in Ireland. However, it was upon the announcement that Lott has topped the chart it was confirmed "All Fired Up" had debuted at number-three on the official charts; behind Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera's "Moves Like Jagger" who remained at number-two and Pixie Lott at number one.

On the band's official site, there was a countdown clock, counting down to the premiere.

Eventually it was confirmed on the group's official Facebook page that the video premiere would take place on 10 August 2011 instead. [29] The band said; We wanted this one [music video] to be kinda graphic-y and more fashion-based, which I think it is. It's different for us, because it hasn't got a storyline, which a lot of our videos have done. Like, "Ego" we were super heroes, "Notorious" we were secretaries. It's more...perhaps cooler, this one. It's just different for us. [2]

Synopsis and plot

During the opening scene of "All Fired Up" music video is puddles of water with a reflection of lights on them, as the clip changes it shows Vanessa White standing with one hand on her hip singing "Blow my mind, DJ blow my mind, come on" then Frankie Sandford and Mollie King appear from behind White, and later a view from above them you see Rochelle Wiseman and Una Healy. As the song begins to kick in, the band start to do a simple dance routine wearing black leather dresses and shoes, with a veil attached. As the chorus begins the band members are seen at different scenes, in a different room by themselves singing the chorus. There are also scenes where women in black body catsuits (with just their hair out of the suits) are dancing in the puddles of water. Throughout the video the band are seen wearing fashionable outfits, in the middle of the chorus; all the band members are seen standing in a circle wearing neutral colour dresses posing, not moving, where the platform they are standing on is turning. They are often seen whipping their hair at "blow my mind" as a symbol of them getting their minds/heads blow off. As the video is beginning to follow out the girls are seen crouching down with their fists up doing a simple dance. As Healy's last part of the video/song she is singing "keep me on your radar" and the girls have their hands to their head as if they are looking for someone. As its ending it shows all the images of the members posing at different points.

Reception

The magazine went on to say that plus the band are looking ever so glamorous for what appears to be just flooding an empty (and very posh) parking lot.
