Lindsey could have helped her with the chorus on this one. The verses are great, recognizable, classic Christine (and very Mac-like) but I never found the chorus on this (or on Love Will Show Us How) terribly convincing. Still, the song WAS widely played on the radio for a solid year.
The non-hits hold up better: Smile I Live For, Ask Anybody, One in a Million, and So Excited.
