Loved reading this Justin - I didn't mind this as a single - exactly as you said, turn it up loud enough and it sounds good. But when singing along there's something that compels me to sing the pre-chorus hissy electronic/auto-tuney bit 'guess'I die another day' as 'it's Die Another Day' which would just be the worst, and has been keeping me amused for years.
