The battle for the Sugababes’ name is on. Ousted member Keisha Buchanan is taking to the courts and everyone is wondering, first, why she decided to do so and, second, why does she think the name is attached to her and not Mutya Buena or Siobhan Donaghy.

It will be released as the album’s first single on 8 March 2010. There was a music video shot to accompany the song. To promote the single release, the duo is going to perform the song on the Friday Night with Jonathan Ross TV show on 26 March 2010.” – From Wikipedia
