The arrangement is very cheesy, but the song is actually not too bad. Very catchy melody. It doesn't really sound *that* dated either - sure there's some 90s dance influence but it still sounds modern. I love the instrumental section before the song fades.

Far from her best material, but more interesting than anything on LOVE again.

This song coming out in winter is possibly the most irrelevant consideration for liking/disliking a song. I'm glad she's not releasing a cookie-cutter winter ballad, although the 2nd song could exactly be that.

Kome tweeted that they're both were both dance tracks, I believe. Feel the love gets the 'uplifting tune' description and Merry-go-round is apparently 'dancefloor' material?

I do agree that it's a lot more interesting than what was on LOVE again, since she treaded on genres she usually tends to dabble in for that whole album.

Wow, two dance tracks - what gives? Has she left her rock days behind for good? I hope not. I like that she's dabbling in dance and electronic music but I would have preferred a slightly more experimental or less-pop edge if she continues to create tracks like this.

Perhaps merry-go-round is more in an electropop style similar to Sparkle or Sunrise?

I don't think so, she's probably just rocked out or something for 2013.

Merry-go-round is apparently more dancefloor/club-ready than Feel the love which is more 'uplifting trance' imo. So it could be a bit heavier.

If she does another single, I think it might end up like this...
2 dance single tracks (December)
2 ballad single tracks (Feb/Mar/Apr)
Rockish stuff like Microphone on the album (Summer?)
