Reception

The song received generally positive reviews for its catchy modern pop style.[citation needed]

Following the duo's first rehearsal at the finals, bookmaker William Hill decreased their odds of winning from 50–1 to 25–1.[2]

"Compared to the gimmicky, awkwardly choreographed production we saw from Electro Velvet last year, Joe and Jake are delivering a simple, confident stage show that puts the focus squarely on the song," John Paul Lucas of website ESC Insight said. "Vocally, the boys are sounding great, although they feel slightly disconnected from each other at the moment. They could benefit from making more eye contact with each other rather than standing side by side staring straight down the camera."[2]

Background

The duo consists of

fourth series of the talent show The Voice UK
. Joe made it through to the live shows and Jake made it through to the knockout round. After the show ended, they formed the duo.
