Hi, I don't know if you held off reviewing because of my brief block, but I am available to make improvements now. Aaron • You Da One 02:07, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
I wasn't delaying the review because of that; I had some personal things to deal with in real life and I couldn't get to Wikipedia. Rp0211 (talk2me) 04:50, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

### Infobox
No issues


### Lead
...and samples his instrumental dance track called "Penguin". → Remove the word "called" for better prose
...Avicii claimed that Lewis and her record label, Syco, had sampling his song without his authorisation... → Replace "sampling" with "sampled"
Before the lawsuit filed by Avicii and his record label reach the hihg court → Add was between "lawsuit" and "filed"; Fix spelling error
 Done all Aaron • You Da One 11:55, 22 June 2012 (UTC)


### Background and release
"Collide was written by Arash Pournouri... → Put quotes around all of "Collide"
 Done Aaron • You Da One


### Sampling controversy
No issues


### Composition and lyrics
According to WP:SAMPLE, audio recordings have to be less than 10% of the original recording (right now it is 24 seconds and it has to be less than 23.9 seconds)
I don't see one millisecond as an issue tbh. Aaron • You Da One
...from the low note of G♯3 to the high note of E♭5... → The phrase "low note of G♯3 to the high note of E♭5" should not be wiki-linked as one phrase
 Done Aaron • You Da One


### Critical reception
Put "Accolade" information as prose, and not in a table
You can either use a table or use prose, like I have done in If I Never See Your Face Again. I was told either a table or prose is acceptable. Aaron • You Da One


### Promotion
No issues


### Track listings
Put length of each track listed
 Done Aaron • You Da One

After thoroughly reviewing this article, I have decided to put the article on hold. There are only some minor prose issues that are keeping this article from reaching good article status. I will give you the general seven days to fix these issues and/or address issues you believe do not affect good article status. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Thanks, I have done everything. Aaron • You Da One 12:01, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

The WP:SAMPLE issue needs to be addressed, even if it is by a tenth of a second; I would recommend making it 23 seconds, so you could get the most out of the music sample while still following the guidelines. As for the awards, I now see it is OK to use this in concerns to good article status, but make sure you fix the table, as it looks like it is not "closed" at the bottom. Rp0211 (talk2me) 17:58, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
Does an entirely new sample have to be uploaded? I'm not sure what you mean by the table not having a bottom? Looks like it to me lol. Aaron • You Da One 18:04, 22 June 2012 (UTC) Aaron • You Da One 18:00, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
For the upload, you can use the same file page, but it will have to be reuploaded so that it follows the guidelines of WP:SAMPLE. As for the other issue, I went ahead and fixed it for you; it was sort of difficult to explain what needed to be done, but you will understand once you see the correction. Rp0211 (talk2me) 20:11, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
WP:SAMPLE is a rule of thumb, so one second won't make any difference to US fair use laws (as long as WP:FAIR USE is respected. Tbhotch.™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 21:33, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
Hey, Tbhotch. I wasn't aware of the issue that you presented with WP:FAIR USE. Since all issues have been addressed now, I feel confident passing this article. Good job and keep up the good work! Rp0211 (talk2me) 17:30, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

I know this is twitter, but Leona tweeted the tracklisting to the album a few minutes ago, and Collide is not there. A different mix might be included on the deluxe version, but for the time being, it's not actually on the album. AARON• TALK   11:39, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Neither Lewis nor MoS (Berg's record label) were involved in the application to the court. The case was listed as Tim Berg and Another v Simco Ltd. t/a Syco (Another refers to Ash Pournouri).
There was no direct sampling of Penguin. The comment from Ash Pournouri confirms that this was a "copy" (i.e. created from scratch by Sandy Vee) and not a sample. Indeed if it had been a sample then MoS would be involved in any proceedings as this would have been a breach of mechanical copyright which the record company would have an interest in.
In a later interview Tim Berg stated that there had been some confusion over the licensing of the rights. Syco had approached him directly for permission and he had refused. However without his knowledge Syco had then obtained a license directly from his publisher (EMI Publishing).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.186.190.78 (talk) 10:03, 11 September 2012 (UTC) 

Your point is? — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 14:22, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Now that the song is officially not included on Glassheart, and is just there in the form of one of its several remixes (Afrojack's), I think it's safe to call this a non-album single. It was initially planned to be released as the album's lead single, but the album has since went through many changes and that is no longer true. "Louboutins" is a similar situation, except that "Louboutins" was released on Love? in no way shape or form. Zac  11:56, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

I'd leave it as an album single. Cause not even a remix of "Louboutins" features on the album. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 12:06, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

This article needs tidying up. Critics thought that the song sampled "Penguin" which was the original name for the intrumental track by Avicii. When vocals were added, that song was renamed "Fade into Darkness". Avicii's lawsuit wasn't that Lewis had sampled his song "Penguin", it was that he had obtained permission to same Simon Jeffes song for his own work and that he was looking for a vocalist. Syco heard the song and reproduced the same sample with Sandy Vee. The actual sample credit per the album booklet is actually "Perpetuum Mobile", as written and performed by Simon Jeffes. This whole thing needs clarfying in the article. Its a very confusing read. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 12:36, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Okay well if you want to do that section then.  — AARON • TALK   16:54, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

The vocal range for this song is false. Anyone who can separate pitches can sit down with a piano and can hear that the lowest note is a G#3 not F4, she also hits multiple Bb4 in the verses. musicnotes.com is very often wrong with their pitches. It's not a reliable source for composition section. Penpaperpencil (Talk) 21:33, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
