"Want
U Back" is a single by British singer Cher Lloyd, from her first album
Sticks and Stones. Song was recorded on 17 February 2012, as the 3-rd and final
track from the UK version of the album, and
on 22 May 2012 as her first US song
taken from the US version of the album.
The UK song version of the music features guest vocals from The X Factor USA
contestant Brian "Astro" Bradley, while new US and Snoop Dogg
versions were recorded in the United States. It was composed by Shellback and
Savan Kotecha, and it was produced by Shellback. Musically, "Want U
Back" is a dance-pop music, with elements of bubblegum and synthpop, while
the lyrics are about a girl who's in denial of the fact that she's jealous that
her ex-boyfriend has moved on to another girl. Even though she was apparently
who the one who dumped him in the first place, she makes various attempts to
sabotage her ex-boyfriend's new relationship.
The single
received acclaim from most music critics, some praised her sassy attitude on
the single and labelled it "infectious". There are 2 videos for the single:
the UK version and the US version. The UK video features Lloyd traipsing
through old photographs with her former beau and some with his new girlfriend
and wreaking havoc on the happy couple, while the U.S. version features Lloyd
at a diner (Cadillac Jack's) wreaking havoc on her ex's new girlfriend.
