The song became Guetta's first number-one hit in France and topped the dance charts in the United Kingdom and United States. It reached top five positions in Australia, Austria, Ireland, Italy and New Zealand.

Background and composition

The lyrics are written by Fergie, Willis, will.i.am and LMFAO. will.i.am was originally intended to perform the vocals alongside Willis and Fergie but he was replaced by LMFAO. In an interview with Digital Spy, Guetta described the song as "one of my more traditional guitar-sounding club tracks – in the vein of 'Love Is Gone'." He said since he refused to let The Black Eyed Peas record the original version for their album The E.N.D., they decided to re-record the song with Fergie. Guetta explained, "Even after I refused to let the Peas have it, Fergie was still saying, 'I love that track!' So I said, 'If you still want to do it, then we'll do it together'. I wanted to keep Chris Willis on there because I've been working with him since the beginning [...] He's the best singer on the planet."

According to Lambert, she decided to record the song because of Shelton's emotional connection to the song: "Blake said he couldn’t record it for himself or sing it onstage every night, but he would be honored for me to."

Critical reception

The song received mixed reviews from music critics. Kyle Ward of Roughstock gave the song 4½ stars out of 5, favorably describing the song as having "a raw account of pain and emotions. The production and melody of the song is solemn, and Miranda does a great job, giving a very pretty, controlled rendering of the song. She really sets the tone, right from the opening line." Ben Foster of Country Universe gave the song a D+ and described it as being a "really boring song [...] clogged up with superficial cliché phrasing and awkward juvenile rhyme schemes set to a clunky, uninspired melody."

Over You (Lasgo song)

"Over You" is the fourth single released by the Belgian dance group Lasgo after the addition of Jelle Van Dael as vocals.
