| Song |
"Once" is a song by British singer Diana Vickers, written by Cathy Dennis, Eg White and Vickers for Vickers' debut studio album Songs from the Tainted Cherry Tree. "Once" was released as the album's lead single in the UK on the 19th April.
Song information and release
"Once" was premiered on BBC Radio 1's Switch show on 31 January 2010, and its video premiered on 3 March 2010 on Play.com.
The song has been A-listed on MTV and Radio 1's playlist. On 18 April 2010, less than 24 hours after release, it reached number-one on the UK iTunes store.
Music video
The video for the song was filmed in London, United Kingdom on February 7th 2010. It was directed by Harvey. It shows Vickers in various places and wearing different costumes with male dancers playing instruments around her. The video premiered on March 3rd on Play.com's website.
Critical reception
Nick Levine of Digital Spy Blog gave the song a positive review stating:
If her pop career doesn't take off, Diana Vickers can always write a book called How Not To Do Things The Simon Cowell Way. Instead of taking the Syco lucre after finishing fourth on The X Factor back in '08, she signed to RCA - yes, we know it's part of the same label group - lined up a genuinely intriguing cast of collaborators for her debut album (Ellie Goulding, Lightspeed Champion, Guy Sigsworth), and even took time out to star in the West End revival of Little Voice. Leon Jackson, watch and weep.
Said album promises all manner of offbeat pop treats, but this debut single is a straight up brain-invader - well, what else would you expect from an Eg White/Cathy Dennis co-write? To be a little more precise, 'Once' is an electro-pop-rock monster whose key lyrical idea - "I'm only gonna let you kill me once" - could probably send Eoghan Quigg cross-eyed. Vickers's hiccupy yelp still won't be to all tastes, but there's no denying that the huge, guitar-powered chorus is as hard to ignore as... well... her trademark hand gesture.
