    it’s ok. I probably wouldn’t change the station if it came on the radio, but it isn’t something I’m dying to have on my iPod either.

  • Orihara Kaoru

    LOVE(LIVE) IT!! I’m so happy for Kris. Can’t wait for November so I can buy his CD (twice!). XD

  • Dee M.

    I really loving it. Kris’s warm, clear tones come through well on the verses.

  • Raye

    I’m loving this. It’s so catchy it’s gonna be playing in my head for the next few days (possibly weeks).

  • MJ

    I really like it. Kris sounds great in this upbeat song. I will definitely buy on Itune. Good luck, Kris.

  • Amie-Lynn

    I really like it. It’s catchy. Plus I love Kris’s voice on this – very heartfelt. I can definitely listen to it over and over.

  • jas

    I love it!! It’s so catchy and has awesome hooks. Kris’ voice shines in this song!

  • MD

    I like it- wonder why the first single is a cover of the Script tho?

    • Jennifer

      Probably because Kris didn’t have time to compose a self-penned single on tour, but he needed to get something out there quickly before his album comes out. I wish his first single weren’t a cover, but it makes sense with the time pressure. I hope 19E gives Kris a chance to show off his songwriting skills on his album.

      • Jeff

        It’s better than another crappy song by Kara.

    • Deana

      Same way with David Cook. We got a cover for his first single, but his album was amazing, so you take what you can get. (= I was hoping for a song that showed of Kris’s lower register (which I love), but I do like this song a lot!

        I don’t think many people know The Script, so it’s a new song to them. Plus like others have said it buys him some time for original stuff on the album.

      • love David Cook

        David’s first hit was not a cover (Light On.)

      • DCFan

        David did not co-write his first single as he did the majority of the songs on the album. Light On however is not a cover since it was not perfomed by anyone else first.

      • Sarah

        Yeah, DC’s wasn’t a cover, and I’m really said that he was in the same list as Jordin Sparks and Fantasia. He has a lot more potential then I think he is been given credit for. I mean, he has had over 100 tour dates on his FIRST tour, and his album and single (Light On) have gone Platinum.

      • Peyton

        Yeah, “Light On” is not a cover. For a song to be a cover it must have been recorded and released by another artist first, but LO wasn’t. David is the first artist to perform it.

        And I agree with Sarah. It pains me to see David grouped with Jordin and Fantasia. Both of those women are very talented but haven’t gone too far in their music careers, but David has a ton of potential to go very far. I think he’s got more staying power than Jordin or Fantasia.

    • MD

      ahhh – good points about not rushing out a possible half a$$ single.
      the Script played a sold out show here in Minneapolis -not too long ago – I was pleasantly surprised. maybe the cover will help both artists.

    • Ladonna

      I think people are misunderstanding what it means by cover. Kris owns this song. The Script will not be releasing it as a single. Ever.

  • pchach

    wow, I love it!

  • blurg

    Boy’s got soul, and his voice is gorgeous. Excellent choice for a first single – catchy, pretty, a little quirky but overall pretty mainstream. Can’t wait to hear what the actual album will be like!

  • Alexis

    Sounds like James Morrison meets Jon McLaughlin and they go out to a very pop-y club to dance.

    But, it is pretty catchy, and I like it. Just was expecting Kris to go a different route.

    • Collin B

      It sounds EXACTLY like James Morrison. Pretty unoriginal song.

  • D

    THIS SONG IS BETTER THAN GREEN DRANK, OSTRICH RIDES, AND NINJA TURTLES COMBINED

    • kradamtruism

      AND CHIK-FIL-A.

    • Orihara Kaoru

      FOUR FOR YOU, BB! AND FOUR FOR KRIS, TOO!

  • Lea

    I love it! I think it has the potential to do very well on radio. I’m so happy for Kris

  • T.T

    • Sunshine

      • Tina

        I heard that his good friend Adam is in love with Kris’s first single. Good taste you got Adam. Great job Kris. You blew this one outta the water…..
