Music video[edit]

A music video to accompany the release of "Turn Around" was first released onto YouTube on 9 September 2012 at a total length of four minutes and three seconds. It was filmed in Los Angeles, California, and was directed by Colin Tilley.[1]

Critical reception[edit]

Lewis Corner of Digital Spy blog gave the song a positive review stating:

"Turn around, open your eyes/ Look at me now/ Turn around, girl I've got you/ We won't fall down," he promises his (hopefully more appreciative) new beau over a mix of euphoric Italo piano riffs and pacing house beats, all worthy of the air-grabbing displayed in the accompanying music video. With mentor and pal Ne-Yo joining him on the track and another pop hit to add to his blossoming collection, we're sure being ditched over the internet will safely remain in Conor's past. 4/5 stars.[2]
