This third single from Bournemouth's answer to Avril Lavigne is a melodic rocker that should keep this protégé of Simon Fuller, Pop Idol's Mr Mean, in the teen mags and do no harm to sales of her False Smiles album either.

Not as instantly catchy as its predecessor, Misfit, it's still a radio-friendly, ballsy effort, reminiscent of Amy's antecedents, Natalie Imbruglia and Lene Marlin, but with enough personality of its own to suggest Amy is more than just another Fuller clone.

And if there's something a little too studied about the bad girl image then at least there's evidence, on this outing, of some musical nous, as shown by Amy's co-writers credit. What's more, there are half a dozen other songs on False Smiles that could just as easily have been lifted as a single, which rather speaks for itself.
