Shape (song)
"Shape" is a song by English girl group Sugababes, released as the fourth and final single from their second studio album, ''Angels with Dirty Faces'' (2002). It was composed by Sting, Dominic Miller, and Craig Dodds, who produced the song. The midtempo pop and R&B ballad incorporates a sample of Sting's 1993 recording "Shape of My Heart", whose vocals are featured in the chorus. It received mixed reviews from critics, who were ambivalent towards the sample of "Shape of My Heart".
The single attained moderate success and reached the top twenty on the charts in Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway and the United Kingdom. The song's music video was directed by Michael Gracey and Pete Commins, and filmed in Sydney, Australia. The video was censored and later re-shot due to its depiction of nudity. It features the Sugababes at a masquerade ball in a mansion. The Sugababes performed "Shape" on ''GMTV'', at the V Festival, and on tour in support of their albums.
==Background and composition==
"Shape" was written by Sting, Dominic Miller and Craig Dodds, and produced by Dodds under his production name Craigie, for the Sugababes' second studio album, ''Angels with Dirty Faces'' (2002).〔 It is a remake of Sting's 1993 recording "Shape of My Heart"; the song's verses were changed, while the chorus that features Sting's vocals was re-recorded.〔 〕 According to Sugababes member Mutya Buena, "He felt he could do better with the chorus, so he came in to re-record it".〔 The song was engineered by Jack Guy, and programmed by Dean Barratt.〔 Additional vocal recording was completed by Ben Georgiades.〔 "Shape" is the album's fourth and final single, and was released in the United Kingdom on 10 March 2003 as a CD single and cassette tape. The B-side is a cover version of English producer Adamski's and English musician Seal's 1990 single "Killer".
"Shape" is a midtempo pop and R&B ballad with a subtle dance groove.〔 The song was composed in the key of F minor, at a moderately slow tempo of 82 beats per minute. The Sugababes' vocal range in the song spans from the higher note of F3 to the lower note of G4.〔 Its instrumentation consists of keyboards and bass guitar.〔 The chorus of the song features Sting's vocals.〔 〕 Adrian Thrills of ''Daily Mail'' described "Shape" as an "ambitious, harmonica-led reworking" of "Shape of My Heart".〔 〕
