How dare you compare it to that bad generic try too hard ballad CKB
TOY is epic rockish emotional ballad.
And despite its peak,it's more popular than her other huge #1 hits. Check her Rock In Rio performance for example,they were stanning hard for it and singing along like no other song. Bye
Thinking Of You wasn't a flop in Brazil tho. It did good in a few countries..
What exactly do you find generic about Thinking of You?
The lyrics and the melody are very typical, novice singer-songwriter material. There's nothing particularly fresh or unique about it; it's been done many times before. It's still a pretty song, just nothing special.
Some of the lyrics to ToY are pretty juvenile, but I die of emotions every time she sings, "bust in the door and take me away, oh, no more mistakes..."
so sweet.
