Digital Spy 's writer Lewis Corner stated:"Now that the break-up has well and truly sunk in,the girls are trying to put it behind them by getting back out there and enjoying their lives again. The one request? No more sad songs,obviously. "I'm still trying to put this behind me / I still want to know who's taking you home," Perrie admits on the verse,before it bursts into a spirited electronic-tinged chorus that you can really get swept up in with its addictive squiggles. It's a beautifully defiant twist on a subtle club banger,and Perrie's big vocal run at the end is a real moment." [6]
Attitude named the song #7 on their list of 32 greatest Little Mix singles writing "underrated based on its chart peak but this mid-tempo sad-banger was an immediate highlight and obvious single from the moment the album was released." [7]
The music video for the song was released on 29 March 2017. It is set in Nashville and based on Coyote Ugly . [8]
