I wrote it about the strength of rising after the fall and I'm thankful to be able share it." [3] In an interview for Next Magazine , Lewis further elucidated upon the song's meaning: "It was like coming from a place where you’ve been through a hard situation that has really made you reflect or look deep inside to figure out what it is that you want to do next," said Lewis. "I had that breakthrough where now I feel strong in what I'm doing and strong in my decisions. I'm back and I'm ready to go for it." [4]

Lyrically, "Thunder" is a ballad about finding the "strength of rising after the fall" and follows the self-empowerment theme of the album. [3] [17] The song begins with the lyrics "First it was heaven, ev'rything roses and fire," and she later proclaims "I'm coming back with the thunder." [4] [18] Lewis projects a stance of empowerment as she performs the line "With an empty heart, I am free again" over a "striding" beat accompanied by a piano. [19] Angela Wilson of Vibe described the track as "a celebratory salute to self love" and highlighted the lines "And I won't wait any longer / When you let me down, I got stronger," as empowering. [20] Will Hodgkinson of The Times thought that "Thunder" was about her former record label boss and friend Simon Cowell, writing that the lyrics "I won't wait any longer, when you let me down I got stronger," was Lewis' way of saying "Check me out now, you high-waisted berk." [21] The song, in the key of B major, has a tempo of 92  beats per minute. [18] Lewis' voice spans more than two octaves, from F♯3 to G♯5. [18]

Reception

Stephen Thomas Erlewine thought that "Thunder" and "Fire Under My Feet" were some of Lewis's "strongest compositions" to date, and added that they are "sharply crafted and passionate". [22] Digital Spy writer Lewis Corner thought that while Lewis does not appear to have reinvented her sound, her new sense of passion "leads the tried and tested formula with a hefty charge". [19] He listed "Thunder" in his top four tracks to download from I Am, along with "Another Love Song, "Power" and "I Got You". [19] Both Kathy Iandoli and Robbie Daw of Idolator praised "Thunder": the former described the track as "equally anthemic" as "Fire Under My Feet" while the latter wrote that it is a "soulful, soaring ballad" which, as with many of Lewis' songs, is difficult not to get immersed in with its strong emotional sentiment. [3] [17] Knoxville News Sentinel writer Chuck Campbell highlighted it as one of the albums many great tracks, writing "Lewis lassoes the rumbling beat of opener 'Thunder' to announce her return – and she's off from there." [23] Next Magazine writer Benjamin Lindsay picked "Thunder" as a "standout" song on I Am, along with "Fire Under My Feet", "The Essence of Me" and "You Knew Me When". [4] In the United States, "Thunder" peaked at number 29 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart for one week. [24] It peaked at number 25 on the Adult Pop Songs chart and spent seven weeks charting, [25] and number 12 on the Dance Club Songs chart. [26] It has also peaked at number 21 in Hungary, number 98 in the Czech Republic and number 100 in Slovakia. [27] [28] [29]

Promotion

During her promotional tour of the U.S., Lewis performed an acoustic version of "Thunder" for B96 Chicago radio station on 15 July 2015. [30] On 13 August, she performed a mini set list for iHeartRadio where she was also interviewed. Lewis started with "Bleeding Love", followed by a cover of Jason Derulo's single "Want to Want Me". For her rendition of "Thunder", the host Kevin Hart bet Lewis $5 to add "Leona Lewis" to the beginning of her performance in the style of how Derulo sings his name on his songs. Lewis obliged, and won the bet. [31] The same day, Lewis released the music video for "Thunder". [6] [32] It shows the singer in various open outdoor spaces as clips of rolling clouds and rays of sunshine are intercut. [32] Vibe writer Angela Wilson described its "simplistic" theme as "the perfect visual for the uplifting track". [20] On 14 September, Lewis performed "Thunder" live on Good Morning America in New York City as part of their Fall Concert Series. [33] Bianca Gracie of Idolator wrote that Lewis performed the track with "her always-stunning vocals". [33] On 21 September, the singer sang the track on The Late Late Show with James Corden . [34] [35] Two days later, Lewis appeared on The Talk where she was interviewed about I Am and once again performed "Thunder". [36] The song was included on her I Am Tour. [37]
