"Heart Skips a Beat" is a song by English singer-songwriter Olly Murs, taken from his second studio album, ''In Case You Didn't Know''. The song features vocals from English hip hop duo Rizzle Kicks, and was released as the album's lead single on 19 August 2011. It was written by Alex Smith, Preston, Kish Mauve and Rizzle Kicks. In the United Kingdom, the song debuted at number one with first-week sales of over 109,000 copies, becoming his second number-one single.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.theofficialcharts.com/chart-news/dream-reality-for-murs-and-young-as-talent-stars-take-over-charts/ )〕 It also served as the closing song at Murs' 2012 arena tour. The song achieved further success topping the charts in Germany and Switzerland, until it was overtaken by Murs' 2012 single "Troublemaker". The song has charted at number six in Ireland, becoming his second highest-charting single in the country at the time. The song gave Murs his second consecutive nomination for "Best British Single" at the 2012 BRIT Awards, after "Please Don't Let Me Go" was nominated at the 2011 ceremony. The track was released as Murs' debut single in the United States on 22 May 2012. The track has been remixed for the American market, removing Rizzle Kicks and including a new verse from Chiddy Bang.〔(Heart Skips A Beat feat Chiddy Bang by ollymurs on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free )〕 It entered the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 at #96, and managed to peak at #25 on the Pop chart. ==Background== "Heart Skips a Beat" was written by Alex Smith, Preston, Jim Eliot and Rizzle Kicks. It is the only song Murs did not co-write for the ''In Case You Didn't Know'' album. Of the track, he said: "It was a curve ball and nothing like anything else on the album, but I loved the production and the writers wrote it for me." The song had originally been put forward for his debut album but Murs' team held it back in order to launch his second album ''In Case You Didn't Know'', with Rizzle Kicks being implemented on the track two weeks before the final version was made. The U.S. version of the song features Philadelphia hip hop duo Chiddy Bang.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.homorazzi.com/article/olly-murs-my-heart-skips-a-beat-chiddy-bang-us-version-tour-dates-one-direction/ )〕〔(Olly Murs Teams With Chiddy Bang For 'Heart Skips A Beat' US Version - Audio - Capital FM )〕 The decision to replace Rizzle Kicks for the U.S. release was received negatively by both UK and U.S. fans of Murs, and in an interview with Murs for the ''Metro'' in August 2012, it emerged that it had been Columbia's decision to change the track for the U.S. release: "It wasn't my decision, it was the label. It said UK rappers don't go down well in the US. The boys (Kicks ) knew that and were fine about it. I called them and told them Chiddy Bang was going to be on it instead and they were fine. I'd like it if they were on it because it's been a hit with them on it in the UK and Europe but I understand the American market is different. There are no hard feelings."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.metro.co.uk/music/906921-olly-murs-my-fans-aren-t-as-obsessed-as-one-directions-mine-are-chilled )〕 Rizzle Kicks confirmed in a separate interview that there were no hard feelings between themselves and Murs over the change, but did not speak so favourably of Columbia's decision to change it and of Chiddy Bang's inclusion on the track: "They (Bang ) aren't even that successful. I like them as people and they have some cool songs but our version is better. It's label bullshit. It's not Olly, it's all the label crap. Sony seem to hate us. Olly had a change of personnel halfway through working on his album and it all changed. They even took our name off the song on his album. If you look at the track listing it doesn't even have us down as featuring on the track."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dailystar.co.uk/posts/view/262256 )〕 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「Heart Skips a Beat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
