Will Young - Who Am I

In answer to his question, Will Young is already one of pop's survivors. But the lyrics of this song also suggest he's a determinedly single-minded individual too.

This third single from Keep On is one of that excellent pop record's syrupy R&B-lite love ballads. Musically it starts simply, showcasing Will's voice, and builds inexorably to a lighters-aloft chorus replete with strings.

Lyrically though it's weepily intriguing. An intelligent examination of a relationship's end laced with regret, in it Will tells (presumably) his ex that number one comes first. "I always found a reason why I never put you first," he laments. "Who am I to tell you that I would never let you down... Who am I to tell you I'll always catch you when you fall? I wouldn't be myself at all." This declaration of single-mindedness must come like a hammer blow to whoever it was written about. Pity the poor boy - even Will's smile surely wouldn't console him.

And there was everybody's mother thinking Will was such a nice boy. Whodathunk?
