The Silence (song)
"The Silence" is a song by British singer Alexandra Burke from her debut studio album ''Overcome'' (2009). The song was written by Bilal Hajji and Savan Kotecha, along with the song's producer Nadir "RedOne" Khayat. The song was released as a promotional single in anticipation of the re-release of ''Overcome'' (2010). Burke stated that the song was written when her aunt told the singer about how she and her partner were experiencing troubles in their relationship, and that they were not telling each other how they felt. In response, Burke asked her aunt why he was letting the silence in their relationship do the talking instead of them discussing it. "The Silence" is an R&B and pop-influenced power ballad and instrumentation consists of a piano, a guitar and drums. The lyrics of the song feature the protagonist asking why the other person in the relationship remains silent about their difficulties instead of talking about them.
The song garnered positive reviews from music critics, who praised Burke's vocal performance. It also received comparisons to songs by Bonnie Tyler, Beyoncé Knowles and Leona Lewis. Upon the release of ''Overcome'', the song debuted at number 95 on the UK Singles Chart on the strength of digital download sales. A year later when released as a promotional single, it peaked at number 16 on the chart. It peaked inside the top thirty on the singles charts in Hungary, Ireland and Scotland, and peaked at number 66 in Switzerland. An accompanying music video was directed by Nzingha Stewart and shot in black and white. It features Burke in a variety of different stylized sets in different outfits and dresses. The singer has performed the song on ''The Paul O'Grady Show'' and ''The X Factor''. It was included on the set list of her All Night Long Tour (2011).
==Background and release==
After the release and success of the lead single "Bad Boys" from her debut album ''Overcome'' in October 2009, the singer released "Broken Heels" as the second single in January 2010, with the intention of releasing "The Silence" as the album's third single. However, a remix single version of "All Night Long" featuring Pitbull was released as the third single from the album instead in May 2010. On 25 October 2010, Burke announced via Twitter that "The Silence" would be the final song to be released from ''Overcome'', writing "Some of you might be surprised at my choice of next single and some of you guys will hopefully be really happy." The song was re-recorded with a new vocal for inclusion on the re-release of the album, entitled "The Silence (New Single Mix)".〔 In an interview with Eamonn Holmes for ''Sky News Sunrise'' in December 2010, Burke stated that "The Silence" was released as a promotional single for the re-release of ''Overcome'' and for Christmas. During an interview talking about the song for Virgin Media in December 2010, Burke stated that "The Silence" is a "very special song" and that despite it being a "very emotional song to sing", it is one of her most favourite songs on ''Overcome''.
