Lately big names have been coming from all over the world. Canadians are making international breakthroughs, Australia has an international chart-topper, but where it's really at right now has got to be the UK. Adele, Jessie J, One Direction, and of course, The Wanted. Their last song "Glad You Came" was enough to launch them to the top of charts all over the world, and now they're ready to keep going with "Chasing The Sun." And really, it's not that special.
It sounds like the kind of think you've heard before and it doesn't offer anything new. For me I could just imagine The Wanted singing "Till The World Ends," and it would sound identical. It's full of "oh oh oh"s and lyrics about never growing old. It's boring. It doesn't build to anything, it's not particularly catchy, it doesn't give you any reason to want to listen to it again.
The lyrics also don't give us anything too unique. It's the same old message. It's full of interesting metaphors, that don't seem to really have any meaning. In fact, the whole song seems to lack meaning. The boys put no emotion into what their saying so I'm certain that they're just reading the script that they were given. No doubt they just wanted to pump out another dance song and that's all they got, nothing more. No effort was putting into making anything meaningful in these lyrics.
Where this song will go is a bit of a mystery right now. On the one hand, they are riding off the huge success of "Glad You Came," on the other hand, is one hit enough to make people buy a boring song. I suspect there will be some initial interest, but it will be a massive fall from the success of "Glad You Came." It wouldn't mind hearing the song, but I don't particularly want to hear the song either. It's just plain boring.
