Notability[edit]

The article doesn't seem to demonstrate independent notability. The sources discuss the song from the album perspective and we have had multiple deletion discussions where the result is just to merge and redirect; a couple of examples, Don't Let Me Down (Leona Lewis song) and Lotus Intro, both good articles.
