I actually liked the song the first few times I listened to it, and then I realized it was, as you said, boring, bland, uninspired, and forgettable. And seriously, why is she singing like that. She sounds so weird.
Boring, bland, uninspired and forgettable. Like half the ballads on I am... and basically every song on A Song for XX and LOVEppears.
And she's "singing like that" because she finally learned to sing again. She actually has vocal technique in this. Her early vocals were destroying her voice and her ~2006-2010 vocals often included lots of screaming.
