"Bleeding Love"
Song
B-side"Forgiveness"

"Bleeding Love" is a pop-R&B ballad written by Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic and Jesse McCartney[1] and produced by Tedder for British singer Leona Lewis's debut album, Spirit.[2] The song is the album's lead single (Lewis's official second single following "A Moment Like This") released in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland in October 2007.[3] "Bleeding Love" became the best-selling single of 2007 in the United Kingdom,[4] and, since the single's release, it has become a major international hit. The single has so far reached number one in over 32 countries, including Australia, Japan, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. McCartney's version of the song was released on some editions of his third album Departure.

Song Structure

File:Bleeding Love Sheet Music.PNG
"Bleeding Love" is written in the key of F major.

"Bleeding Love" is a pop song with R&B undertones set in the key of F major. It moves at 104 bpm and is set in 4/4 time. The album version runs for four minutes and twenty-two seconds and the radio edit runs for four minutes and one second. Lewis performs her highest pitch (A5) during the final chorus, and her lowest pitch (D4) during each verse. The range of the song for her version is around an octave-and-a-half.

The song refers to someone in a relationship who is extremely blinded by love. Regardless of the numerous warnings from her friends and the fact that she is emotionally hurt by her lover, she continues to love him and accepts the pain. Metaphorically, this is represented in him "cutting her open". However, all she can do is "bleed love" for him.[5]

"Bleeding Love" is constructed in the common verse-chorus-bridge song pattern. It employs a church organ which is audible throughout the song until the bridge. Synthesized strings are also prominent throughout the song, which intermittently integrates wood block percussion throughout the track. A heavy, distorted marching band-like drum loop backs the song.[6]

Promotion

The song's first radio play was on the BBC Radio 1 Chart Show on 16 September 2007,[3] and was quickly followed by an online exclusive streaming by celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.[7] It was reported that over 1.5 million people listened to the song online.[8] The song was also Scott Mills's record of the week from Monday 24 September to Friday 28 September.[9]

Lewis went on a two-day regional UK radio tour to promote the single and album on 11 and 12 October 2007.[10] This was followed by an appearance on This Morning on 15 October. Lewis performed the song live on the fourth series of The X Factor on 20 October 2007,[11] and also made appearances on several other TV and radio shows such as T4, GMTV and Loose Women.

Lewis also performed the song at the Festival della canzone italiana on 29 February 2008, and on German entertainment show Wetten, dass..? on 1 March 2008.[12]

Lewis made her US television debut on The Oprah Winfrey Show, on 17 March 2008,[13] where she sang "Bleeding Love". She has also performed on Good Morning America on 4 April 2008, Live With Regis and Kelly on 8 April 2008, Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Ellen DeGeneres Show on 11 April 2008, and The Tyra Banks Show on 17 April 2008. Lewis performed the song live on the seventh series of American Idol on Wednesday 23 April 2008.[14]

Reception

Critical reaction to the song was mostly positive, with entertainment website Showbiz Spy describing it as "emotionally fuelled", saying, "this track perfectly showcases Leona's impressive vocal prowess and from the moment she opens her mouth we are instantly reminded about her amazing voice, capable of heart stopping intensity and a playful light touch."[15] Digital Spy's review of the song gave it four stars out of five, saying it is "easily the best single to be released by an X Factor star," and describing it as "a brilliantly smart pop record, managing to offer the lovelorn balladry that Lewis' X Factor fans are no doubt craving, while also suggesting a hint of street cred in the form of some beefy, vaguely modish beats."[16] It came second in Digital Spy's Top 20 Singles of 2007 announced on 31 December.[17]

However, BBC America's reviewer expressed that "the inventive percussion can't stop "Bleeding Love" from sounding dated, like filler on some long-lost, late '90s Mariah Carey album. It's one of those mid-tempo numbers — too slow for the club, too fast for the foxtrot. Actually, with its marching band drum beat, it sounds as much like Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl" as a ballad can." The critic continues to say, "On to the positive: Lewis wisely restrains her vocals, never devolving into those vocal acrobatics that have historically plagued Christina Aguilera."[18]

Billboard's review of "Bleeding Love", the first ahead of the song's release in the United States, stated it was "a colossal and timeless debut", going on to say "not only a one-listen harmonic show-stopper, it is also hip, soulful, beat-rippling and an undeniable vocal tour de force."[19] The Village Voice described the song as a "perfectly devised emo-pop machine ... the old Mariah is jealous right now."[20]

Awards

In December 2007, "Bleeding Love" won The Record of the Year[21] and the award for Best Track in the Virgin Media Music Awards 2007.[22]

In January 2008, the song was nominated for the British Single award at the 2008 BRIT Awards.[23] Although the award was won by Take That's "Shine", it was announced that "Bleeding Love" had received the second highest number of public votes. The massive success of "Bleeding Love" earned Lewis the music award at Britain's Best 2008, which was aired on ITV1 on Friday 23 May 2008.

Chart performance

"Bleeding Love" debuted on the UK Singles Chart at number one on 28 October 2007.[24][25] With "Bleeding Love" reaching number one, Lewis became the first contestant from The X Factor to achieve two UK number-one singles.[26] Its seven week run at number one was also the longest by a single from a UK female solo artist in chart history.

In Australia, it debuted at number nine on the ARIA Charts on 24 December 2007. On 21 January 2008, Lewis became the first artist to come from a British reality music talent show to top the Australian charts, and the first British act to reach number one on the ARIA Singles Chart since Sandi Thom's "I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker (With Flowers in My Hair)" in early 2007. It is also so far the largest selling single from 2007-2008 so far in Australia. On 10 February 2008, the single received a platinum certification, with sales of over 70,000.[27] In New Zealand, Lewis became the first British female solo artist to have a number one single since the Sugababes topped the chart in January 2006; it stayed at number one for five weeks.[28] It also reached number one in Switzerland, Norway, Belgium and the Netherlands.[29]

In the United States, the single's digital release on 18 December 2007, led to nearly 6,000 legal downloads of the song.[30] As the song was added to song rotations throughout the U.S., increased digital sales of the single led to the song's debut on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart at number 11 on the charting week of 16 February, 2008.[31] The subsequent two weeks pushed the song up the charts, officially debuting on the Billboard Hot 100 on the charting week of 1 March 2008 at number 85.[25] The song has become Lewis' first U.S. top ten hit, reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot 100,[25] and has also peaked at #1 on the Billboard Pop 100, holding the position for twelve weeks, tying the record held by Flo Rida with Low.[32] Also, it reached #1 on the Hot Digital Songs[33][34] This makes Lewis only the third female artist from the U.K. to ever have a number one hit on the Hot 100 with her first single, following Petula Clark with "Downtown" in 1965 and Sheena Easton with "Morning Train (Nine to Five)" in 1981.[35] In addition it is also the first U.S. number one song (debut or not) by a solo British female since Kim Wilde's "You Keep Me Hanging On" more than 20 years prior.[36] It also jumped to number one in Canada in the same week. The song has sold over 2 million in U.S. digital downloads.[37]

In the U.S., "Bleeding Love" reached number one for a week, before slipping to number four, rising to number two the next week, and then returning to the number-one position on the Billboard Hot 100, before being succeeded by Lil Wayne's "Lollipop." Its return to number one on the Hot 100 coincided with the parent album Spirit debuting at number one on the Billboard 200, making Lewis the first solo British artist in 18 years to top the Billboard albums and singles simultaneously. The song yet again returned to number one for the third time on the Hot 100 on the charts dated May 10, 2008. The song's return to the top of the Hot 100 for a third time made it the first song to have three separate turns at number one on the Hot 100 since Chic's "Le Freak" in January, 1979, and only the second song to ever do so.[38] This time, the song stayed at the top spot for a second consecutive week, bringing its total to four non-consecutive weeks so far at #1 on the Hot 100 (and twelve non-consecutive weeks so far at #1 on the Pop 100, a record for a female artist).

In Canada, the song reached number one on the Canadian Hot 100 dated 5 April 2008. This was the first time a non-North American act has ever reached number one on the chart since its establishment in 2007.

"Bleeding Love" was a hit on radio stations around the world, reaching number one in the airplay charts of the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Brazil, Germany,[39] France,[40] Australia,[41] New Zealand, Croatia,[42] Slovenia,[43] Luxembourg,[44] Latvia,[45] Slovakia[46] Latin America,[47] Estonia[48] and Japan.[49] In the Greek Airplay Chart, it reached number two.[50]

On Radio & Records Chart, "Bleeding Love" sat at #1 for 9 consecutive weeks.[51]

On the United World Chart, the song entered at number 11 on 10 November 2007 with 176,000 points, being named "Hot Shot Debut" of the week.[52] The song went on to reach number one on the chart, and has thus far earned 122.5 points to date. It is tipped to become the most successful song of the decade, as it is still charting highly across the world, and is currently at number 10, considering highest selling singles of the 2000s.[53]

Sales performance

"Bleeding Love" was released in the United Kingdom in physical format on 22 October 2007, when it sold over 66,000 copies,[54] and topped the UK iTunes Store chart.[55] It was reported to be outselling Take That's "Rule the World" by three-to-one in chain store Woolworths,[56] and Britney Spears' "Gimme More" by ten-to-one.[55] "Bleeding Love" had sold over 126,000 copies by the end of Thursday 25 October,[57] and over 150,000 copies by the end of Friday 26 October.[58] It went on to sell 218,805 copies in its first week, gaining the biggest one-week sales in 2007, a feat it maintained until "When You Believe" by Leon Jackson was released in December 2007, and outselling the rest of the top five singles combined.[59][24] It had sold around 107,000 downloads and 112,000 CD singles.[60]

In its second and third weeks on sale the single sold 158,370 copies,[61] and 111,978 copies respectively, bringing the total sales to 489,153 and making "Bleeding Love" the biggest selling single of 2007 after just three weeks of release.[62] It stayed at the top of the UK Singles Chart for a total of seven weeks, and in the top three for a further four weeks.[25] By the end of 2007 the single had sold a total of 788,000 copies and was the biggest selling single of the year. It was the first time a single by a UK female solo artist had topped the end of year singles sales chart in the 55 year history of the official charts.[4] "Bleeding Love" was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry on 9 November 2007,[63] and platinum on 18 January 2008.[64] Currently, it has stayed in the Top 75 for twenty weeks, nineteen of those in the Top 40.[25]

As of 24 April 2008, the single has has been certified Gold and Platinum in the US,[65] and Double Platinum in Australia.[66]

Music videos

There are two music videos for "Bleeding Love". The first was directed by Melina and was filmed in Los Angeles.[67][68] It is set in an apartment block and features four storylines about couples in different stages of relationships: "The video is extremely emotional and shows everything from first love and unbridled passion to heartbreak, loss and anger."[69] Lewis stated that it is "real colourful, very funky, has lots of extras and I get to really perform."[67] Melina explained her meaning of the video in an interview on MTV's Making the Video, saying that the water in the video is a metaphor for the tenants' love problems, as if the apartments are bleeding love.

For the video, Lewis wore a £100,000 Dolce & Gabbana crystal-encrusted dress, which weighed 40 pounds (18 kg),[68][70] and reportedly had an entourage of 150 people on set, including five stylists flown out from the UK.[71] The same dress was later worn by Victoria Beckham in the video for the Spice Girls charity single "Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)".[72] The video first aired on 17 October 2007,[73] and was uploaded to popular video-sharing website YouTube the same day.

Lewis filmed a second video in New York City for the US release of "Bleeding Love". The treatment for the video was written by Ryan Tedder,[74] and centers around a storyline involving Lewis arguing with her boyfriend, played by model Nicholas Lemons. It was directed by Jesse Terrero.[75] The video premiered in the United States on 29 January 2008 on Yahoo! Music.[76] It was uploaded to YouTube on 30 January 2008. Its television debut was on 4 February 2008 on VH1 as part of their "You Oughta Know" campaign.[77]
