There are considerable prose issues, such as the capitalization of genre names that do not introduce a sentence, "dance/pop vocalist", "Cherry Pop has been recorded" - is it still being recorded?, "Being an Electronic / Pop song, Stan describes the song as J-Pop" - how are these relevant to each other... There is a lot of poor grammar and tense issues. If you struggle with English, I'd recommend that you ask for assistance WP:GOCE with these articles you keep nominating so that you can learn more about English grammar and punctuation and see how it should be copyedited.
Then there's formatting issues everywhere. For example: Read Template:Infobox single for how the infobox should be correctly formatted, for example the "Records" in the label parameters are omitted, flatlists are used for genres and only the first genre should be capitalized, we don't use references in the infobox when they've already referenced the same things in the prose, overlinking of "Erik Lidbom". The depreciated music video parameter, these should be in an external links section. The "see release history" is redundant and depreciated. The charts are incorrectly formatted there's no "scope" parameters, and the charts section should be before the release history section not after...
Then there's the biggest issue: the article in its entirety is unreliably and/or improperly sourced. Please familiarize yourself with policies such as WP:RS, WP:NEWSBLOG, WP:YOUTUBE, WP:NOENG. Your video synopsis is entirely WP:SYNTH.
Then there's the video screenshot and music sample which will most likely be deleted in future because their captions give no idea as to why they are needed/being used, nor do they properly co-relate/explain the corresponding prose.

The article isn't even of C-class quality I'm afraid. You should really begin to familiarize yourself with the Wikipedia policies I've pointed out to you above before believing an article is of GA status. You should also become familiar with WP:WIAGA. If you are having trouble with understanding what the WP:WIAGA or Wikipedia policies are, try modelling your articles on an article like Like a Virgin (song) or The Edge of Glory to try and pick what mistakes you're doing and what your articles missing and what GA articles should look like. I'm sorry, and I hope you don't feel discouraged, keep up the enthusiasm! However, this is an Immediate ✗ Fail by all means... Cool Marc 05:42, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
