Background

[edit]
"Bleeding Love" was initially co-written byJesse McCartney(pictured) for his third albumDeparture.

In 2006,Leona Lewisentered thethird seriesof the British reality televisionmusic competitionThe X Factorand, after performing and competing against other aspiring hopefuls, the public voted her the winner on 16 December 2006, receiving 60% of the final vote.[15]As the winner, Lewis received the prize of a£1 million recording contract withSony BMG,of whichThe X Factor's creatorSimon Cowellis anA&Rexecutive, and with Cowell's own labelSyco Music.[15]

Meanwhile, in February 2007,OneRepublic'sfrontmanRyan Tedderand singerJesse McCartneyhad written "Bleeding Love" for the latter's thirdstudio album,Departure(2008).[16]However, his label,Hollywood Records,did not like the song.[17]Tedder believed it was a "massive" song and the record company was "out of [their] mind".[17]Despite his own reality television background, Tedder had previously made the decision not to work with contestants fromAmerican Idol,but he had not heard ofThe X Factor,and on being shown a website about Lewis, he thought that "her voice just sounded unreal," saying that "from a writer's perspective, this girl – with or without a television show – has one of the best voices I've ever heard."[18]On hearing that Cowell was looking for songs forLewis' debut studio album,Tedder rearranged "Bleeding Love", changed thekeyand tailored it to suit her voice.[17]He pitched the song to Cowell, who said it was "the one".[18]After the success of Lewis' version, the song wasre-recordedby McCartney, being included as abonus trackon the international edition ofDeparture.

Problems playing this file? Seemedia help.

"Bleeding Love" is a mid-tempopop andR&Bsong set in the key ofF major.[20]It moves at 104 beats per minute and is set in4
4time signature.The album version runs for four minutes and twenty-two seconds and theradio editruns for three minutes and fifty-nine seconds. Lewis'vocal rangeextends from C4to B♭5,but has gone higher into the sixth octave in most live performances of the song.[21]"Bleeding Love" is constructed in the commonverse–chorus–bridgesong pattern. The song employs achurch organwhich is audible throughout until the bridge. Synthesized strings are also prominent throughout the song, which intermittently integrateswood blockpercussion. A heavy, distortedmarching band-like drumloopbacks the song.[22]It employs aharmonicshift beginning at the bridge. A harmonic shift or harmonic variety generally identifies most song bridges. In "Bleeding Love", the turn around from the common I, vi, IV, V (F, Dm, Bb, C)progressionused exclusively up to the bridge for both verses and choruses shifts to focus on the relative minor: vi, IV, I/V, V (Dm, Bb, F/C, C).[23]

McCartney wrote the song about his longtime girlfriend and said: "I kept thinking about being in love so much that it hurts. I was away from my girlfriend for four months at the time and I really wanted to [quit] and fly home. I was so in love that it was painful. It was like bleeding, it cut me open."[24]Lyrically,"Bleeding Love" shows the singer in anrelationshipand extremelyblinded by love.Heedless of warnings from friends, and regardless of being emotionally hurt by the person the song is addressed to, the singer continues to love that person and accepts the pain.Metaphorically,this is represented by being "cut open". When this happens, however, all the singer can do is "bleed love" for the person being addressed.[25]

Promotion

Critical reception

[edit]
Critics noted similarities between Lewis' vocals and those of American singerMariah Carey.

"Bleeding Love" received widespread acclaim frommusic critics.Showbiz Spy described it as "emotionally fuelled," and opined "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."[33]Digital Spy's review of the song gave it four out of five stars, saying it is "easily the best single to be released by anX Factorstar, "and describing it as" a brilliantly smart pop record, managing to offer the lovelornballadrythat Lewis'X Factorfans are no doubt craving, while also suggesting a hint of street cred in the form of some beefy, vaguely modishbeats."[34]It came second in Digital Spy's Top 20 Singles of 2007 announced on 31 December.[35]

However,BBC America's reviewer expressed that "the inventive percussion can't stop 'Bleeding Love' from sounding dated, likefilleron some long-lost, late '90sMariah Careyalbum.It is one of those mid-tempo numbers – too slow for theclub,too fast for thefoxtrot.Actually, with its marching band drum beat, it sounds as much likeGwen 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 thosevocal acrobaticsthat have historically plaguedChristina Aguilera."[36]Billboard's review by Singles Review editorChuck Taylorfor "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 alsohip,soulful,beat-rippling and an undeniable vocaltour de force."[37]The Village Voicedescribed the song as a "perfectly devisedemo-popmachine... the old Mariah is jealous right now ".[38]
