Bill,
David, himself co-wrote this song. His amazing vocal is showing off well. He is one of the best vocals in the male scene today.

I love the song!!! David Archuleta is amazing. He is so talented. His voice is so pure, completely different from what I’ve heard before. It is incredible; such a beautiful voice and he is only 17 years old. There is not doubt this kid will have an amazing music career. I’ll definitely by his CD on 11/11.

This song is going to be the gem of the album, definitely radio single worthy!

David co-wrote this song with some very talented writers, he is going to be taken very seriously in the music industry in no time flat, just amazing for a 17 year old boy. I Luv Him!

David is born to be a legend…watch out world ARCHUDOMINATION begins on Nov.11th!

David is really coming into his own with this new cd. This song is my ‘newest’ favorite! The ending really gives me goosebumps and I can’t help but sing along (at the top of my voice – HA!) I think for the first time EVER I will love every song on a cd!!! The waiting seems endless!
Don’t want to wish my life away – but could it please be 11/11 – NOW!

Great song from a great singer. Love it.

(22) pastel says:

I’m not sure what is going on with all these leaks, but this song is outstanding. It’s obvious that if the rest of the album is half as good, David is in for much success. Soaring vocals during that bridge. WOW.

(23) prettyinpink says:

Fabulous. Great, great vocals! But a good R&B sound to start. It’s very catchy. Good second single.

Very talented young man w/mad vocal kills, have heard snippets of some of the songs on album. It will be an instant hit for sure. It is an awesome mix of of genres. Can’t wait for Nov. 11!!!

(26) China80 says:

David is AWESOME!! He can do no wrong. This 17 year old prodigy can sing anything. I’ve always known that his voice is soulful, rich, smooth, heavenly, angelic. After hearing a few of the songs on his upcoming album, I must add that his voice is very mature and very SENSUAL!!! Look out ladies, he is only going to get better with age. Can you imagine David Archuleta’s voice at late 20s and early 30s and not to mention his looks. Like I said….. LOOK OUT LADIES!!!

October 25, 2008 at 1:39 am
(27) JHM says:

David, you are incredible! Love everything that he sings, the heart, the soul, amazing vocals — it’s all there. Counting down the days until his album is released. I have never waited with such anticipation for anyone’s album more than this one, he’s the best!

October 25, 2008 at 5:40 pm
(28) Mimi says:

I just had this song on repeat 50+ times. Fabulous song, and not to mention the soulful voice of David. I cannot wait for his album. (Sigh) so beautiful the song is.

(29) miss archuleta says:

November 6, 2008 at 3:38 pm
(30) Tricia says:

I’ve listened to the whole album now and I’m disappointed by the 2 so-so reviews today that I’ve read from the critics. This album is all kinds of awesome!! It has something on it for everyone! David’s voice is A++ as usual and I can’t wait to see him on Leno tonight! He’s such a sweet,genuine kid and he’s so unaffected by his success so far. We need more people like him in the pop world today. Congrats David!! This one is a winner!! :)
