"Domino"
Song

"Domino" is a song by English singer-songwriter Jessie J from her debut studio album, Who You Are (2011). The song was released on 29 August 2011 as the fifth single from the album.[1] It was written by Jessie J, Dr. Luke, Claude Kelly, Max Martin and Cirkut, and it was produced by Dr. Luke and Cirkut. The song became Jessie J's second number-one single in the UK, following the Dr. Luke-produced "Price Tag" (2011). In the United States, the song charted at number ten on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Jessie's biggest hit in the US.

Background and release

The song was produced by Dr. Luke and Cirkut and premiered via the singer's official YouTube channel on Tuesday, 26 September. Jessie also launched a competition to accompany the track's debut, inviting fans to post their own covers of "Domino" for a chance to win tickets to a concert in either New York or London as well as a private meet and greet session. Jessie J said the song was inspired Whitney Houston's classic "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" (1987), as she wanted to write "something uptempo, fun, everyone can sing along to it, every age can dance to it."[2]

"Domino" serves as Jessie's second single in the United States, after the release of "Price Tag". It was also released as the fourth single in Australia and New Zealand, being released digitally on 29 August 2011. The single was released both digitally and physically on 4 November in Germany. The single will be sixth release by Jessie in the UK and will be released on 27 February 2012.

Reception

Critical response

"Domino" has garnered very positive reviews from the critics, who praised the sound and tone of Jessie's performance but likened the track as too similar to Katy Perry. Scott Shelter from PopCrush gave it three and a half stars out of five, saying that "‘Domino’ is catchy enough to potentially become Jessie J’s biggest American hit."[3] Becky Bain from Idolator gave it a mixed review, saying while "Jessie sounds gorgeous on this track", it sounds "like a Teenage Dream leftover". [4]

Chart performance

"Domino" debuted at number twelve on the Australian Singles Chart on the issue date of 18 September 2011. The song later rose to number five on the chart.[5] The song also debuted at number three on the New Zealand Singles Chart on the issue date of 12 September 2011.[6] As the release in North America, it debuted at #96 and has so far peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at number 9 on the Pop Songs chart. "Domino" was certified Gold by the RIAA with sales of over 500,000, and has become J's first top 10 single in America. Despite not being scheduled to be released as a single in the UK or Ireland until 27 February 2012, the song has already reached number one in the UK on 15 January 2012, becoming Jessie J's second number-one single in the UK, following the Dr. Luke-produced "Price Tag" (2011) and in Ireland on 19 January 2012 from heavy radio airplay, and album downloads. The song then continued for a second week at No.1 in the UK.

Music video

The music video was directed by Ray Kay and was premiered on 26 December 2011.

Live performances

Jessie presented the song at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards where she served as the show's house artist, performing various songs from her debut album and covers of many popular songs during commercial breaks.
