"Turn Around" is a song by British singer Conor Maynard from his debut studio album, Contrast . The song features vocals from American singer Ne-Yo. It was released as the album's third single as a digital download on 11 October 2012. The song was produced by Stargate and Benny Blanco, who also co-wrote it with Ne-Yo. This is another collaboration between StarGate and Benny Blanco, following such songs as Wiz Khalifa's "Work Hard, Play Hard" and Rihanna's "Diamonds".
A music video to accompany the release of "Turn Around" was first released onto YouTube on 9 September 2012 at a total length of four minutes and three seconds and Britt Nilsson appear in the clip. It was filmed in Los Angeles, California, and was directed by Colin Tilley. [1]
Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review stating:
"Turn around, open your eyes/ Look at me now/ Turn around, girl I've got you/ We won't fall down," he promises his (hopefully more appreciative) new beau over a mix of euphoric Italo piano riffs and pacing house beats, all worthy of the air-grabbing displayed in the accompanying music video. With mentor and pal Ne-Yo joining him on the track and another pop hit to add to his blossoming collection, we're sure being ditched over the internet will safely remain in Conor's past. . [2]
