Heart Vacancy
"Heart Vacancy" is a song by British boy band The Wanted from their self-titled debut album. It was released as their second single in the United Kingdom on 17 October 2010 through Geffen Records. The song was written by Jonas Jeberg, Cutfather, Lucas Secon, and Wayne Hector. "Heart Vacancy" was written for English pop singer Leona Lewis and was given to four different artists before being recorded by The Wanted.[1]
Critical reception
Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave the song three out of five stars and described it as "a slushy, string-laden slowie about longing for a girl, but with the BPM turned up a notch and a stomping rhythm - too fast for waving lighters but slow enough for hands-in-the-air time - 'Heart Vacancy' treads on the slightly more manly side of sentimental."[2] Michael Cragg from The Guardian called it "a boyband ballad full of over-emotive vocal straining", and wrote: "The nadir is a middle eight that involves the curly-haired one intoning,"When IIIIIII talk to youuuuuuuuuuuuu, on the phhhooooonnnnneee" as if he actually hates his lover and wants her to bleed from the ears."[3]
