“About You Now” is a BRIT Award-nominated pop song by British pop band Sugababes, written by Cathy Dennis and producer Dr. Luke for the group’s fifth studio album, Change (2007). The song is the album’s opening track, and was released as its leading single between September and October 2007.
Upon its release, the song became the group’s highest-charting single since 2005’s “Push the Button,” reaching the top of the charts in Croatia, Estonia, Slovenia, Hungary and the UK, as well as the top 10 in Austria, Cyprus, Germany, Ireland, Norway, Poland, Spain, and others. An acoustic version of the song appears as a bonus track on the group’s sixth studio album Catfights and Spotlights (2008).
Release and reception
The song itself combines “pop,” “rock” and “electro,” much like other songs produced by Dr. Luke. The album version, which is used in the music video, is longer than the radio version and includes an extra verse by Amelle and an extra bridge by Keisha. On September 8, 2007, Sugababes performed “About You Now” live on Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway.
“About You Now” received generally good reviews from both critics and fans. PopJustice described the song as a “pop-electro-rock masterpiece.” The blog’s author Peter Robinson also stated that it “wasn’t trying to be clever and was simply an amazing pop song.”
Alex Fletcher of Digital Spy said “the lyrics are Waterman-esque perfect pop with the added spice of Sugababes kinkiness.”
In January 2008 “About You Now” was nominated for a BRIT Award for Best British Single.

What a tune! I'm not a huge fan of these kind of groups, but I have to admit Sugababes are kind of special...
