Is it really expected to be released after 'Single'? Single Flopped, so I don't think this is likely.

[edit] Failed GA nom

The biggest problem I have with this article is that while it adequately covers the success of the single, it doesn't talk about the song itself.

  1. Excluding the lead (which shouldn't mention anything not mentioned in the rest of the article), there is no mention about who wrote the song, who directed the song. If there is any reason why she worked with any of these (such as if she liked the producer's work on other tracks), it should be mentioned.
  2. "Sitting in front of a mirror, Bedingfield slowly removes her wig and makeup, revealing her true self." What exactly is her "true self"? This needs to be specified.
  3. Nothing about the meaning of the song is found anywhere except the lead. Along those lines, why did she decide to write a song about that subject? What is the significance of dressing up as the geisha?
  4. If there were any negative reviews of the song, they should be added. I do understand that this is somewhat of a limited release single, though, so that may not be possible.
  5. While not necessary, a fair use clip of the song would be nice.
  6. Nothing is mentioned about the musical structure of the song. What instruments are used? What tempo? What musical form (i.e. verse-chorus form)?
  7. If the music video was a success on TV, this should be mentioned.

By far the biggest hurdle this article has to reach GA status is information about the song structure. I know that this information may be difficult to find on the net, but it is arguably the most encyclopedic part of the article. Good luck on finding relevant information on the topic.
