"'''About You Now'''" is a song by British girl group [[Sugababes]] from their fifth studio album, ''[[Change (Sugababes album)|Change]]'' (2007). Written and produced by [[Dr. Luke]] along with [[Cathy Dennis]] and [[Steven Wolf]], it was released on 24 September 2007 by [[Island Records]] as the [[lead single]] from the album, the first to feature [[Amelle Berrabah]] on all tracks. An uptempo [[pop music|pop]] track that combines heavy elements of [[pop rock]] and [[dance-pop]], it infuses light [[electronic music|electronic sounds]]. Lyrically, "About You Now" finds the protagonist thinking deeply over her relationship with her [[love interest]] from whom she parted.

The song was generally well received by music critics, who complimented its genre mixing production as well as its US pop influence. The song has been described as a "pop-electro-rock masterpiece" and the best Sugababes single in years. Upon its release, "About You Now" became the group's sixth UK number one hit and highest-charting single since 2005's "[[Push the Button (Sugababes song)|Push the Button]]". It remained atop the [[UK Singles Chart]] for four weeks. It also reached the top of the charts in [[Hungary]], as well as the top ten in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Norway, and Spain. It is Sugababes' highest-selling single to date, having sold more than 1 million units in the UK alone.<ref name="UK sales">((cite web|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/quiz-who-sold-more__11079/|title=Quiz: Who sold more?|last=Myers|first=Justin|date=24 October 2015|publisher=[[Official Charts Company]]|access-date=24 October 2015))</ref>

"About You Now" was nominated for a 2008 [[BRIT Award]] for Best British Single. In the 2009 edition of ''[[Guinness World Records]]'', "About You Now" was listed as the "first track by a British pop act to top the singles chart solely on downloads". The song was also named as the "biggest chart mover to the number one position in the UK".<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.undercover.fm/news/6231-amy-winehouse-leona-lewis-sugababes-and-paul-mccartney-down-a-guinness-record |title=Amy Winehouse, Leona Lewis, Sugababes and Paul McCartney Down a Guinness Record - Undercover.fm News |publisher=Undercover.fm |date=15 September 2008 |access-date=25 November 2011 |url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110916010801/http://www.undercover.fm/news/6231-amy-winehouse-leona-lewis-sugababes-and-paul-mccartney-down-a-guinness-record |archive-date=16 September 2011 ))</ref> In December 2009, it was revealed by [[BBC]] that "About You Now" was the UK's fifth most-played song of the decade (2000–09).<ref>((cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8434418.stm|title=Snow Patrol's Chasing Cars is most played of decade|publisher=[[BBC]]|date=30 December 2009|access-date=17 April 2012))</ref> An acoustic version of the song appears as a bonus track on the group's sixth studio album ''[[Catfights and Spotlights]]'' (2008).

==Background==
"About You Now" was written by [[Lukasz Gottwald]] and [[Cathy Dennis]], while production was helmed by the former under his pseudonym Dr. Luke with additional production from Steven Wolf.<ref name="booklet"/> Keisha Buchanan from the group, described Luke as being 'rigid' with the songs American sound and that she had to "fight" for her [[Ad libitum|ad-libs]].<ref>((Cite news |last=Simpson |first=Dave |date=2022-11-15 |title=‘Terry Wogan said it was the worst thing he’d ever heard!’: Brian May, Sugababes and more on hitting No 1 |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/nov/15/brian-may-sugababes-and-more-on-hitting-no-1-singles |access-date=2024-03-02 |work=The Guardian |language=en-GB |issn=0261-3077))</ref> Recorded at the [[Sarm West Studios]] in [[London]], it was [[Audio mixing (recorded music)|mixed]] by Kurt Read with further assistance from Aniela Gottwald.<ref name="booklet"/> [[Bass (guitar)|Bass]], [[drums]], and [[Programming (music)|programming]] were handled by Luke, while [[guitar]]s were led by Tina Kennedy and Luke.<ref name="booklet"/> Additional keyboard contribution came from Eric Kupper.<ref name="booklet"/> "About You Now" was described by [[PopJustice]] as a "proper pop song".<ref name="popjustice"/>

==Critical reception==
[[File:Clarkson Live 2012.jpg|150px|thumbnail|right|"About You Now" was compared to [[Kelly Clarkson]]'s 2004 single "[[Since U Been Gone]]".<ref name="popjustice"/>]]
"About You Now" received generally favourable reviews from both music critics and fans alike. [[PopJustice]] reviewer [[Peter Robinson (journalist)|Peter Robinson]], who noted a similarity to [[Kelly Clarkson]]'s 2004 single "[[Since U Been Gone]]" (also produced by Dr. Luke), described the song as a "pop-electro-rock masterpiece" and dubbed it "the best Sugababes single" since 2002's [[Round Round]].<ref name="popjustice"/> He praised the song's unselfconsciousness and its "very pleased-to-be-exactly-what-it-is" attitude and noted that "it doesn't sound anything like what the Sugababes have done before but it is instantly recognisable as a Sugababes song".<ref name="popjustice">((cite web|date=6 August 2007|first=Peter|last=Robinson|title=Notes on the New Sugababes Single|work=[[PopJustice]]|url=https://www.popjustice.com/briefing/notes-on-the-new-sugababes-single/|access-date=11 June 2022| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20210512053424/https://www.popjustice.com/briefing/notes-on-the-new-sugababes-single/| archive-date= 12 May 2021 |url-status = live))</ref> Alex Fletcher of ''[[Digital Spy]]'' summed it as "a pop dish fit for a king ... the lyrics are [[Pete Waterman|Waterman]]-esque perfect pop with the added spice of Sugababes kinkiness". He remarked that while "About You Now" lacked "the sauciness of a "[[Push the Button (Sugababes song)|Push the Button]]" or spiky attitude of "[[Hole in the Head]]", it makes up for it with robot voice effects, a pulsating electronic backbeat and a chorus so addictive that it should probably be taken away and labelled a [[class A drug]]".<ref>((cite web|date=27 September 2007|first=Alex|last=Fletcher|title=Sugababes: 'About You Now'|work=[[Digital Spy]]|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/singlesreviews/a75457/sugababes-about-you-now.html|access-date=6 May 2011))</ref>

Adam Webb, writing for [[Yahoo! Music]], called the song a "classic Sugababes: ballsy, tuneful, sassy, slightly amateurish around the edges and generally better than 99.9 per cent of whatever else masquerades under the title of pop music in 2007". Though he noted a lack of edge, blunted by the departure of former band member [[Mutya Buena]], Webb went on declaring it "a short, sharp jolt of classic, perfect pop", giving it seven stars out of ten.<ref>((cite web|date=5 October 2007 |first=Adam |last=Webb |title=Sugababes: 'About You Now' |work=[[Yahoo!

But it doesn't work as well as past hits and lacks the same crossover appeal of earlier cuts "Round, Round" or, most notably, "[[Freak like Me]]".<ref>((cite web|title=Sugababes - ''Change''|work=IndieLondon|url=http://www.indielondon.co.uk/Music-Review/sugababes-change|access-date=6 May 2011))</ref> Tom Young of [[BBC]] called "About You Now" a "fierce opening shot.

The EP, which was released to the [[iTunes Store]], features a total of five songs – "About You Now", "FYI", and "Party Girl", and features remixes of "About You Now" and "[[Stay My Baby#Miranda Cosgrove version|Stay My Baby]]". Aside from this performance, Cosgrove also performed the song on ''[[Today (American TV program)|Today]]'' on September 6, 2010, along with "[[Kissin U]]", and "BAM", both off of her debut studio album ''[[Sparks Fly (album)|Sparks Fly]]'' released on April 27, 2010.

===Music video===
The music video, directed by [[Bille Woodruff]] premiered on Nickelodeon on December 5, 2008, following the premiere of ''[[Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh]]''. It features Mexican-American Actor and singer [[Diego Boneta]] as her love interest. In the music video, Miranda is with her friends at the mall where, simultaneously, so is her ex–boyfriend. The best friends look at a necklace then go to a photo booth to take pictures. The pictures of two girls acting like they are dating remind Miranda about her break up with her ex-boyfriend, wherein she mistakenly accused him of cheating on her. They then go on an escalator and Miranda spots her ex. She texts him that she got it all wrong with him and he locates her and gives her the necklace that Miranda saw in the beginning of the video that she liked. They end up getting back together at the end of the video.<ref>((cite magazine|url=https://people.com/celebrity/behind-the-scenes-of-miranda-cosgroves-video-shoot/|title=Behind the Scenes of Miranda Cosgrove's Video Shoot|magazine=People|date=2 December 2008|access-date=11 June 2022))</ref> The music video was one of the best selling videos on [[iTunes]] at the time of its release.<ref>[https://www.lehighvalleylive.com/musikfest/2011/04/miranda_cosgrove_of_nickelodeons_icarly_coming_to_musikfest.html Miranda Cosgrove of Nickelodeon's 'iCarly' coming to Musikfest]</ref>
