| Blue's Pop Song I Can |
The song received an average response from the music critics. Digital Spy gave 3 out of 5 stars to the song and also wrote “I’ve never lost anything quite like this / no second chance if I don’t find it”. The song is a relatively catchy pop song. The chorus of the song misses the spot and drowns the other element of the song. The lyrics of the song are self referential and the words are poorly translated. The song misses the verses entirely.
The promotional tour for Eurovision was started by Blue with an appearance on Malta Euro song 2011.The song for the first time was performed by the band on March 11, 2011 on The Graham Norton Show. The promotional video of the song was released by BBC One with Blue London Skyline in the back. The official video of the song was released on April 14, 2011.
