OMG IM DYING HERE – PEEP WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING

The song was well received by critics who noted Rowland and Guetta as a winning formula. Robert Copsey of Digital Spy said “…It looks as though they’re going to be ruling the airwaves all over again. … After she lulls us into a false sense of security (“I feel like the DJ is bodyguard / You see the way he keeps me safe? / With the treble and the bass?”), the track plunges into a pounding electro-house chorus that quite literally orders us to the dance floor … The result isn’t quite as fresh and inventive as some of Guetta’s recent output – Kelis’s ‘Acapella’, for example – but it goes a long way towards recapturing some of last summer’s magic…”[6] Ivan Ibarra of DjBooth.net also agreed saying “The David Guetta-produced jam will definitely have dancers fist-pumping in their favorite Jersey Shore re-enactment. Vocally Kelly delivers a performance that marries Guetta’s production perfectly…”[7] Robert Daw of Idolator said “if you think Ms. Kelly is taking the go-go boots off anytime soon, then you’d best go lean against the wall, flower. Rowland’s Guetta-produced new single ‘Commander’ is pure strobe-light adrenaline rush. … [it] will appear on Kelly’s as-yet-untitled third solo album … we’re predicting a full on Rowland Renaissance!”.[8]
