"Denial" is a song by English girl group the Sugababes from their fifth studio album, ''Change'' (2007). Coinciding with the commencement of the group's 2008 Change Tour, it was released on 10 March 2007 as the album's fourth and final single. V V Brown wrote "Denial" for the band while she was on London Underground's Victoria line, and attempted to "get into their mindsets" in the process.〔 The Sugababes and the song's producers, Flex Turner and Elliot Malloy, co-wrote it. Composed of staccato verses, a harmonious chorus and a solo middle eight, "Denial" is a Europop and soft rock song that samples "Standing in the Way of Control" by The Gossip. The song received mixed reviews from critics, who were ambivalent towards its composition, but became a commercial success throughout Europe, where it peaked at number one on the Czech Singles Chart, number four on the Austrian Singles Chart, and within the top twenty on the charts in Germany, Hungary, Ireland, and Switzerland. It reached number 15 on the UK Singles Chart. Harvey B-Brown directed the song's music video, which was inspired by ''Vogue'' and contains fashion editorial characteristics. The Sugababes performed "Denial" on ''Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway'', at the 2008 Oxegen Festival, and during their Change Tour. ==Development and release== English singer and songwriter V V Brown wrote "Denial" while she was on London Underground's Victoria line. Brown told ''Metro'' that songs she writes for enjoyment come sponteneously to her.〔 She composed "Denial" specifically for the Sugababes, and attempted to "get into their mindsets" in the process.〔 The song was submitted to the group and received by their management; the band enjoyed the song and subsequently recorded it for their fifth studio album ''Change''.〔 Brown described its transferral to the band as "validation that I'd truly found who I am in both territories as a song writer, as a producer, as a writer and as an artist". The Sugababes and the song's producers and programmers, Flex Turner and Elliot Malloy, received co-writing credits on the song.〔 "Denial" was mixed by Jeremy Wheatley at Twenty One Studios, London, with assistance from Richard Edgeler.〔 The song's instruments were provided by Pete Boxsta Martin and Wheatley.〔 When ''Metro'' questioned Brown about her feelings towards the group's ownership of the song, she responded: "When you write songs for other people you’ve got to let it go, it becomes their property, they have to interpret it in the way they feel. You can’t be too precious about it otherwise you wouldn’t have given it away in the first place."〔 "Denial" was confirmed for release in January 2008 as the fourth and final single from ''Change'', and the Sugababes' 21st single overall.〔 Island Records released "Denial" as a digital download in the United Kingdom on 10 March 2008. The CD single was made available on 17 March 2008.〔 〕 Its release coincided with the commencement of the group's Change Tour, which began on 13 March 2008 in Brentwood, Essex. "Denial" was released as a CD single in Germany on 25 April 2008. In October 2007, the Sugababes performed a cover version of "Hey There Delilah" by the Plain White T's on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge as the B-side to "Denial".〔 "Denial" was remixed by American disc jockey Ian Carey. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Denial (Sugababes song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
