"What About Us" was produced by Ollie Jacobs and was written by Jacobs, Camille Purcell and Philip Jacobs. [1] The track is a dance-pop song. [1] Before the release of the song, Mollie King said that the band were excited to release the track, as they had the song "for months". [9] The band said they didn't want to change their genre just for the American public and would stick to their roots. [9]

King said that the track is reggae pop, and a little different from what the band would usually record. However, she also mentioned the track being really "dancey". [9]

When Una Healy was asked what "What About Us" was about, she said that she didn't know what the song was exactly about, mentioning that she thought "it's all about someone driving you crazy." [10]

"What About Us" is the only collaboration on the album. [11] The original version of the track lasts 3 minutes and 24 seconds, whereas the version which features Jamaican rapper Sean Paul lasts 3 minutes and 40 seconds.

Release

The band said that they chose "What About Us" to be the lead single in the US as it gave them a "really good feeling". They also said it is a fresh start for the album, highlighting its "reggae vibe". [11] The Saturdays would compliment Sean Paul, saying he was "perfect" for the UK version of the song, also mentioning he was "just so nice". [11]

"What About Us" was confirmed to be the group's first single to be released in North America, and would be released on 18 December 2012 to coincide with their American reality show, Chasing the Saturdays . [12] [13] The band teased the song, saying that it is a pop track, and that it would be a good indication of the album. They've added that they've paired up with Diane Warren to record ballads besides pop songs. [11] It was also revealed that the track would be the lead single from the band's extended play, Chasing the Saturdays , which was named after the show. [12] Some critics said that releasing "What About Us" as the lead single from an EP for the US market was a "wise decision", with a critic mentioning that if the respective show had not been commercially successful, it would be "setting them up for failure". [14]

In the United Kingdom, it was revealed that "What About Us" would be the follow-up single to "30 Days". [14] The band announced that another single (which would be "Gentleman") [15] , would be released before the album. [10] The band decided to release "What About Us" differently in the United Kingdom. In the UK, the song's music video would be released before the single. It would also be released on airplay. [16]

In the United States, the song would be released solo, though it would be released with a feature from Sean Paul elsewhere. [17] [16] The single was released with the B-side of an acoustic version of "Somebody Else's Life", the opening theme to Chasing the Saturdays. [16] The CD single, which was released on 18 March 2013, would feature the song. [18]

"What About Us" was released as a digital download EP, including the single version which features Sean Paul, the solo version and the B-side. [16] In North America, a remix EP was released on 18 December 2012. [19]

During the release, Frankie Sandford became an ambassador for mental health after she had battled depression. [20]

Critical reception

Robert Copsey of Digital Spy noted that a lyric sung by Rochelle Humes, "Oh, why are we are waiting so long? I'm suffocating", was in reference to "man-related drama", while pointing out the large amount of it in their reality series, Chasing the Saturdays. [21] Although he would criticise the song for not being original, Copsey later went on to tip the band for their first number-one single, noting that he "would be happy to see the song at the top of the charts". [21]

4Music described the song as an "electro-pop affair with a bucket-load of synths thrown in for good measure", although criticising the single choice for its American release. [1] Idolator wrote a mixed review criticizing the track for lacking the group's signature style. [2]

Jessica Sager from PopCrush also touched on the departure from their original sound, though highlighting it as "not necessarily in a bad way." [22] She went on to praise Sean Paul's feature, saying his features "gives [the song] an air of authenticity and fun, but pretty much only during his own verses." [22] She also criticised the group's "emulation" of Jamaican accents, aswell as the heavy use of Auto-Tune in the chorus, mentioning that they "can actually sing well without it." [22] She concluded the review by labeling the song as "generic" and "not the best the Saturdays have to offer", rating it two and a half stars out of five. [22]

Commercial reception

"What About Us" debuted at number 44 on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart for the week dated 8 December 2012. [23] This marks their first ever chart entry in the United States. It has since peaked at number twenty-seven. [24] The song debuted at number 79 on the Canadian Hot 100, becoming the highest Canadian debut for a new artist in 2013.

The Saturdays admitted that they did not want to get their hopes up on debuting at number one on the UK Singles Charts, as they were beaten to number-one three times before with their singles "Forever Is Over", "Just Can't Get Enough" and "Missing You". [11] However, it was revealed that the group had knocked Justin Timberlake's "Mirrors" off the number-one spot on the UK Singles Chart. This became the band's first ever number-one single in the United Kingdom. It also became Sean Paul's second number one in the United Kingdom after being featured on "Breathe" in 2003. [25]

"What About Us" sold 114,000 copies in the first week of release, making it, at the time, the fastest selling single of 2013. [26] The band said they were thrilled to be the UK's number-one with "What About Us". They went on to thank their fans for supporting the single. [26]

"What About Us" debuted at number six on the Irish Singles Chart, marking the band's fifth top ten single in that country. [27] "What About Us" made its debut at number thirty-six on the New Zealand Singles Chart.
