I made a few edits, mostly related to wording. This is a pretty solid article for a pop song with only modest recognition. There are two issues which I thought required your attention:

Thanks for the little copyedit! — Statυs (talk, contribs) 11:25, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Based on both the song itself and the description in the Vibe source, I don't think it's accurate to say that the song is a New Wave song. I'd reword the sentence in the lead to "... is a [pop, R&B, somethin'] song that incorporates elements of New Wave and industrial rock into its production." Same treatment below in the Composition section and infobox.
Changed. I believe one of these other sources called it a Pop or R&B song. Let me check through them. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 11:21, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Can't find it. Maybe I'm confusing it with another song. I've just changed to noting that its production contains such elements and not giving it a genre. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 11:25, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
""drones" over a "very produced" beat" Where do these quotations come from? They're not in the IGN or PopMatters references.
Fixed. It was in the 411mania review. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 11:21, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There's a dead link, but it's Billboard so it should be pretty easy to replace. And you can say that the song is Pop or R&B without a reference, since the whole album is considered a Pop/R&B album. --Brandt Luke Zorn (talk) 20:39, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed the dead link. Btw, I don't think it's possible if we cite the song as such; it doesn't mean if the album in whole is Pop/R&B the song is too. We need a reliable source for that. — Tomíca^(T2ME) 21:45, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

May I ask what's happening with the review? If there are no issues can you please pass the article? Thanks — Tomíca^(T2ME) 19:30, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I apologize for the long wait. I've been busy. I still think that the song should be labeled "pop" since—although I did do a search to see if any source explicitly labeled this song pop, and didn't pull up anything—it's evident that it falls under that category. You've done quality work researching and fixing up this and other pop song articles like this, so kudos. Sorry the review wasn't quite in time for the new album release ;) --Brandt Luke Zorn (talk) 20:35, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
