Overall review

After thoroughly reviewing this article, I have decided to put this article on hold at this time. Here are the two main issues keeping this article from good article status:

Citation of reliable sources where necessary: There are some spots where specific facts aren't supported by a reference in the article.
Done Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon!

Major aspects: I think this article can be expanded a bit. Here is what you can do with it:

– Since there is a little information on this song, rename the "Critical reception" section to the "Composition and critical reception" section where critics could describe the song while still reviewing it. Also, if possible, try an add an audio sample (this is not required for GA status, but it adds better clarity to the article).

Done Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon!

– Put in a "Credits and personnel" section in to support the claims in the infobox about the writers and producers of the song.

Done, but it's not very big though. Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon!

– I have researched this song and found information about a music video. Add a music video section in this article with informaton like release date, producer(s), film location, and synopsis.

Really? That's news to me. I can't find anything. Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon!
