Spent 47 weeks on the US charts, including a total of three weeks at the summit of the Pop Songs radio airplay chart. Music Video Details

Set a record for the largest jump to number one for an act's first charting single, soaring from #53 to #1 in a single week.

The song was originally written by Cruz and Smith with the intention of giving it to Cheryl Cole , but her label turned it down. Lyrically, the song serves as a "warning" to a potential partner about being a heartbreaker. Critics generally gave it mixed to positive reviews, praising its catchy and infectious hook while occasionally noting that its sound felt generic for the era. Chart Performance

Topped the charts in the UK, Canada, and Switzerland, and reached the top ten in Australia and the Netherlands.
