[@TonyRedEyes]

This is the best song she recorded.

[@PuggiTheGreat]

Just seen Nichola Roberts on Breakfast TV (BBC) where this song was just previewed so thought I would come here & see full version. Well, one hell of a song, music & lyrics with meaning instead of silly "generic concepts" Her words in quotes. And I agree, nice song, powerful too, & I`m no teeny, I`m 50, but this is a good song !!! Well done lass !

[@Lov3syeon]

still one of the most beautiful songs of all time

[@pikachudansen]

wow, that really hit home, couldnt help but cry. Nicola is absolutely amazing

[@Wildzippy]

The prettiest and most talented of Girls Aloud

[@lomaaz]

I had tears in my eyes! It's just so horrible how the media had the nerve to call an innocent 17 year old girl ugly! Didn't people have a heart or any morality?! Absolutely disgraceful! Well done Nicola, all the best!!! xxxx

[@rubywelch3079]

this song speaks volumes.

[@SPICEITUP08]

This doesn't just relate to beauty. This is anthem for the outcasts. Everyone can relate to this song, and lets thank Nicola for releasing such an incredible song, go out and buy Cinderella's Eyes because we are #TEAM GINGE.

[@jjgjjjgjjjgjjgjjg]

the more i learn about her, the more i find her absolutely inspiring. i don't understand why a lot of people disliked her music videos. like Beat of My Drum and Lucky Day have a ton of dislikes. she's such an amazing of person. truly inspiring. sad how so many people don't see it. i hope more people hear this song. it's seriously so deep and inspiring and raw. and her intentions for writing this song are to help people.. she's so amazing.

[@kerkie]

I've heard this song multiple times now but I still get emotional when I hear it; it still makes me cry. It amazes me how much people put her down. No, she was never A-Crowd pretty but she's a Fashion Beauty, the kind of beautiful that not everyone gets. She looks so very happy now and I'm so very happy for her. it's been a joy to watch the transformation.

[@DJH000]

WOW! Nicola one of your best songs that you've ever done, your just signing and reflecting my childhood, Nicola this is an outstanding song! Well Done!

[@zer0fearo]

I can honestly say I haven't been touched by a song like this in ages. Nicola, by exposing your hurt, your echoing back the pain that each and every outsider has ever felt. Whether bullied for the way you look, the way you act, who you love; it makes no difference. We can all find something true in this beautiful track. Thank you, Nicola. You're a hero.

[@HeadUpGorgeous]

Just heard this for the first time and i'm actually crying! So beautiful and haunting and raw, if this doesnt get released its a damn shame, its so powerful and true.

[@PandaBoosh]

I hope this song is the third single. I want to see an Adele-at-the-Brit-award moment for her. Let the whole nation feel what 72,184 viewers have felt. Love it.

[@stroud93]

Saw the BBC interview and it bought out the Mum in me. I have 3 daughters similar age to you and I couldn't bear to think of them being hurt. I wanted to give you a big hug. Good luck for the future. Stay happy xx

[@amazingsallyrocks]

This song brought me to tears. Sang so honestly and beautifully. Awesome song.

[@mexicanjerry]

in love with this song... the same, it reminds me when i was in junior high and being bullied for my homosexuality, one teacher once told me "don't change for them, don't try to fit in with the other, because you're special, so be who you are, cuz you're great"... it's being 12 years now, and i still thank that teacher for take a moment and tells me those words...

[@ellykatexo]

This song is so relatable to thousands of people out there, the lyrics are heartbreaking yet so moving. Not only does it reflect upon how the stress of the nusic industry had an impact on Nicola,but how society has made so many people feel. This song is one of pure beauty and it's times like these I'm so thankful that Nicola branched out on her own and wrote one of the most powerful songs of this year.

[@ahillmann]

Wow! I can see her sing this live to small audience, only accompanied by a grand piano. I'm buying her album, I've already known it for a few months now! I rarely buy music, but I'm happy to put my money on an artist like this. Nic deserves our support (and money).

[@BrendaC4]

Love this song, especially the lyrics. They're so truthful and touching. These are stuff that unfortunately many pass through, and have to go through, however a song like these, makes you realise that you're not alone. Out there in the world there are many others who are passing through the same kind of taunting and labeling - bullying. The best thing to do is to take these lyrics to heart and listen to the advice. "Don't surrender! Don't you change!" hands up for nicola!

[@SimiPagh]

''I'd rather be alone in my world, I'd rather be the girl that gets hurt. So take your shot. I don't want them to see they're making it hard for me, at home I cry. '' Desccribes exactly how I'm feeling right now. Beautiful song.

[@peterfrend5360]

Nicola, you are a stunning natural beauty. I thought that from the start. You also have an amazing voice. Stand tall because you are amazing. x

[@joannetroy7649]

nicola is one of the best singers ever she writes her own songs that alot of people can relate to she is beautiful i love her soo much

[@rosscaw82]

Nicola Roberts is so talented. I wish this song was released I think it would a big hit.

[@millyroseexo4991]

my teacher in year 5 used to play this song in most assembly's as we left and I heard it so many times I just remembered all the lyrics, such a strong song

[@alundo]

Without turning this into an autobiography...brings back some rather...tainted memories for me. Thankyou for the beautiful song Nicola, it means as much to you as it does for the rest of us. So much hate, not enough love. I'm waiting for my pre ordered album. :)

[@hottieviper420]

I absolutely love her! This song is so deep and meaningful. I literally cried! That's not the norm for me to cry during a song but this one hit hard! Come to america Nicola. We'd appreciate your talent alot more! Making this album as huge as it deserves to be!

[@Wrinklemina]

Amazing song. Nicola has nothing to worry about she is beautiful inside and out!! I bet it took a lot for her to write this song and i praise her for it. Can't wait to meet her in Liverpool, I think she is such a wonderful person xx

[@TheGossipJunkie]

Thumbs up for this one please, guys. Nicola is a talent that should be celebrated! Unfortunately Beat Of My Drum and Lucky Day failed to light up the charts despite both tracks being critically acclaimed. She writes her own songs and I for one think she deserves all the success in the world! Let us all please get this track straight up the charts to number 1 where it belongs. Not only does it highlight the very real and important issue of anti bullying but it is also a beautiful song! x

[@jonas984]

Team Ginge Forever ♥♥♥... Amazing song, full of that truth that a lot of us have to lived or we're living, but at the same time very inspiring... Go Nicola ♥!

[@Lorna.Bowman]

Incredible song! Cant believe it doesn't have more recognition!

[@BREVSTARBOI]

Thankyou for making an absolutley beautiful song. This song means so much to me, i think me and everyone else whos been bullied can relate to this song. Thank you Nicola. I've bought the album just to listen to this song over n over again although I love ur other songs, you have a beautiful voice. The lyrics are so meaningful in this song and ur voice is angelic, keep up the work. this is the honest side we didnt see when you wer in Girls Aloud and this is what real music is.

[@spazzman90]

Dearest Nicola, You've always been my favorite from GA. I always like your distinctive voice and looks. Forget the singles you've released so far. THIS is what fans (or at least me) really want. This sounds so personal, like you are the only one who could sing it. I love the inflection in your voice, I would love to so you sing it live some day. You're the best!

[@xMel93x]

Goosebumps and tears when I listened to this! Seriously Nicola, this is such an inspirational song, and it will help so many people. You should be so proud! You are amazing, and i'm so proud! Love youuu! xxxx

[@MariaTweedy]

This song left me speechless!! It's extremely beautiful, emotional and heartbreaking! Nicola you are incredible!! You're so B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L and don't ever forget that!! I admire you a lot!! Thank you for making such a beautiful music!! ♥

[@rebeccawalters8685]

This song gives me goose bumps every time, it's sooooo emotional and relatable. Thank you Nicola

[@jojogirl1000]

Wow. This is actually done really beautifully and artfully. There are so many 'sob story' songs out there, but this one rings true, I think her unique voice translates so well. Love it.

[@rickytleg]

Nicola has turned out to be the most beautiful girl in the band AND also the best natural singer - a beautiful voice. I just watched an interview on BBC and she is also very intelligent and astute. Cheryl doesn't have half of the nous that Nicola has. Or half the voice! What a great song this is. Good on ya Nicola!

[@SpencerCSR]

Every time i hear the bridge, I get shivers

[@JackLauraGhostSeries]

Anyone who has ever been made fun or bullied can relate to this song. It makes us all know we're not alone. Love you Nicola.

[@AndreKuijpersMusic]

This is really touching. Always thought/hoped Nicola could make a great soloalbum if she followed her heart. Already liked the first couple of tunes I heard, but nothing could prepare me for this gem of a song. I believe this 200 %. nope: loads more. That's probably the best compliment I can come up with right now. Go Team Ginge! Y'all should be very very proud to be a part of this.

[@nathangraham3818]

Pure talent!! So underrated!! Just wow!!

[@ld4743]

This is amazing... Never really been a fan before but this, this has blown my mind!!! Vocally brilliant, Lyrically excellent and the whole production is Gorgeous!!! She's such a sweet girl too!!!! Good on you Nicola xx

[@LaylaGAFan]

I Actually cried at this, Words do not describe how much i Love Nicola...OMGG this song is Just 'adjasghsjigfjsahfsfhsf' im in love with it!! Her voice is just ahhhhhhhhh..LOVE♥LOVE♥LOVE♥♥♥

[@ISI694]

How is Nicola not more recognised she's amazing. Her lyrics are so emotional and deep!

[@canter661]

Just goes to show you the power of pop. This song flattens the landscape! In a perfect world this would be a single.

[@koetaro1]

she needs to be listened all around the world ... let's make her famous and replay all her videos :3

[@rhyspanniers]

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!! this song is so powerful!! actually have goosebumps all over!! i really hope the album gets so well =) love you nic xx

[@lallybearx]

i listen to the song over and over nearly everyday. This is such an inspiration song, Nicola should be extremely proud of her new album. The songs really show of the strong vocals she has. This song, just gets me everytime. A huge lump in my throat.

[@SPICEITUP08]

Is she even human, how can someone be so freekin perfect. First Beat of My Drum then Lucky Day now this, the album is bout to explode!

[@EduardoFariasM]

Come back please.

[@laurencejackbrown]

The way she sings "so take your shhhoOOTT!" UH-mazing!

[@WillsParsons]

Nicola is amazing, i have loved her since Popstars the rivals - gutted when she didnt make it in the house, then by fate she got a second chance which she deserved. I knew from that point she was special, Years of supporting her in GA even when it was negative. Hoping she would release solo material. Beat of my drum - Amazing. Lucky day - out of this world. B sides that should be singles. And now Sticks and stones. Nicola is a true talent - the album so long awaited. She deserves success/respect

[@Emmadyas]

MOST beautiful song ever written, i cry every time, its so lovely. Nicola Roberts has put so much emotion and love and so many feelings into this, shes took the words right out f my mouth. i just want to say THANKYOU so much Nicola for such a beautiful , heart whelming song, im so so inspired. and you are just amazing. To much love for this song.

[@SuperFlashDelirium]

Wow. Nicola was writing from the heart with this one. I remember she used to get called ugly all the time by the press when she was young. Think this is the most open I've seen her mention it.

[@AmyLoveAmyLove]

This song is beautiful! after all the crap she had to go through in Girls Aloud, her star now shines the brightest!! she has a story worth telling! she is by far the most attractive one out of all of them...inside and out! xx

[@WELLSIANA62]

This song is amazing! For me Nicola Roberts is the best thing to come out GA... Brilliant! Good luck Nicola!!!!!

[@HaiItsAmyy]

Thank you for this song.

[@TheButtur123]

God for some reason I can't get enough of this song, it's just amazing!

[@faerie191]

I'm so shocked this song only has 77k views! It deserves the millions that all the top songs do because it's so amazing!

[@malwinakrajniak8296]

the best songs on bad days ❤️

[@neoscencez]

Ugh. Beautiful.

[@Maat-obabaa]

the words are so beautiful that they've made me cry..... Nicola's such an inspiration. She will always represent that someone who finds the inner strength to come out of their shell and be who they were born to be. There's a nicola roberts in all of us- believe in yourself and with that belief you can change the world :)

[@MessyLittleRaindop]

this is a song that actually means so much to so many people, you should be so proud Nic! Breathtaking!

[@markmoraes]

5 years of this gem.

[@Mrs0sweetiepie]

Love this song, it hits the nail on the head about what a cold hard society we are bringing our kids up in

[@quicktimebug]

so finally nice to hear a song thats true. i get called so many names at school, and people laugh at the worst things i think about myself, even my friends. these lyrics are incredible and nicola is my hero. x

[@wadeito]

You have always been my favourite! There was not a moment you didnt stand out of the group! Your voice is beautiful! shine! shine! shine! this is your time. good luck- tickets! tickets!

[@luvgalsaloud]

I can't believe a song like this could come from someone as beautiful as Nicola?? or maybe im missing the point! I think she stunning! x

[@Jacksl1985]

No words can describe of Nic this is exactly why she is my idol - i look up to her - i can relate to the lyrics in this so much!

[@SCRSN16]

a small crowd .. a piano.. nicola.. this song... omfg imagine !

[@crazyismynickname]

The bridge part literally had me in tears. I love you so much Nicola.

[@CamilloLouvise]

I'm absolutely touched by her history! Her early years in girls aloud was so sad... I'm so happy that she grow strong and beautiful! Words can't hurt you no more Nicola, now you have all the good spot on you =D Congrats! You'll be always my idol!

[@walkingthewaypodcast]

I know so many young people being bullied. I am absolutely blown away by this. It broke my heart.

[@thegiftofmusicgirl]

This song almost repreasents my whole first year of secondry school. She's right, you do start to think that your on your own. And it HURTS. But keeping quite and letting bullies win never really works. They'll be back. xxx

[@iepicfailgaming]

i normally hate nicola robert songs until i hear it over 10 times, but this has an expection, my life is always going down but then i realise that my life if how it is, never give up on what you believe in, you are who you are and you are what you are, never change, my life has always been bad due to some of my actions, i get bullied at school but those bullies shouldn't bother me, i know i don't normally cry due to songs, even tough my mum is here i cried, it's beautiful thank you nicola :')

[@MuffyJo]

I can't get over how sadly beautiful this song is

[@julius54321665]

For speech we had to pick a song that represented our past school year, I chose this one. It' so amazing, much love from one of your HUGE U.S. fans :)

[@catzkirstxo]

first time i listened to this i just cried and everytime i here it it really touches me, even before she starts singing!can really relate, this serously needs more views!how could anyine think she was ugly shes the prettiest and the best singer in girls aloud!massive massive fan nicola!xxx

[@rhonwenjaneparry1987]

This is the first time I've heard this song and it is amazing.

[@wozniacki15]

The bridge got real ,personal, and you can really feel what she went through when she was in Girls Aloud it almost made me tear.

[@AleexNKayeee]

omg, i can honestly say this is the first song to ever make me cry. its sooo good!

[@Zenksy]

It's nice to know that someone as successful as Nicola has had to deal with problems that we've all dealt with (no offence). People call her ugly, but I always thought she was so pretty when I first saw her on Pop Rivals..It's horrible to fully believe you're ugly and hard to fix..Love love nicola for this song! If you can't change a situation, let the situation change you.

[@SCRSN16]

80.318 views?? shame shame... deserves at least a million ! her writing skills are amazing! Love this song and 'I' on her album !

[@TheMBoy19]

My favourite part " Too young to buy my own bottle vodka (...) Your bullets I don't feel them come on and fire at me" LOOOOOOOOOOOOVEEEEEEEEEEE IT!

[@mangomadness52]

this song means a lot to me and anyone who has ever been bullied

[@walkingthewaypodcast]

I know so many young people being bullied. This really drove it home and broke my heart. Go Nicola

[@carol22222]

What a pretty song! OMG! I just cried here :') Nicola is really a strong woman!

[@GillianLovesCC]

This is absolutely stunning. It's so heart felt and actually heartbreaking. I hope the haters listen to this and look at themselves in the mirror. Nicola, you go girl. And don't let anyone bring you down. You are beautiful

[@Hawki1886]

I love this song send chills down my neck everytime i listen to it, just like Christina Aguilera's Beautiful did, Congrats on a very well made absolutely stunning song, this deserves to be a single and number 1.

[@emma.elisabeth]

I've been crying at this song since 2013

[@Dianafayyumi]

Her voice is like an angel! I've always likes Nicola's voice! At the end her GA her voice grow and become the best in my opinion :) And she REALLY cute and pretty! I can't understand how people can think otherwise.. Go Nicola! :)

[@itsjaybee90]

I've just been told that this song is about her rise to fame and the stress and controversy that came with it with it. And it's true; look at the lyrics, "I Don't want them [Girls aloud] to see that they're making it hard for me"......"You thought i'd cope with being told i'm ugly"......"17 and thought i'd won the jackpot". Such a deep and powerful song.

[@AreYouOthman]

I feel so related to this song, Nicola shows that she's stronger after all what she's been through, I've been and still being bullied and teased, this song just gives me hope that someday, all this stuffs will end and life will be better. Nicola is so insipirational, i wish her the best with love.

[@LoraahJayne]

This is my favourite song ever. Nicola is amazing and such an underrate artist. Love you Nic xx

[@ahillmann]

Usually I don't care much for lyrics. I rather listen to instrumental music instead. But this song I can't stop listening to, and it's precisely because of the lyrics!

[@ItalooPaz]

I think this song is the most honest song about being bullied since 'Beautiful' by Christina. All the generics like Born This Way, Fireworks and Fucking Perfect seems don't have the real feeling, the honesty that 'sticks & stones' has. Bravo and thank you for have made this song Nicola.

[@GracePebbles1]

I'm normally not a fan of Nicola Roberts (beautiful voice, just not my type of music) but I LOVE this song! So amazing and love the meaning!

[@ChadGillard23]

NICOLA, YOU ARE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PERSON IN THE WORLD & DON'T YOU EVER FORGET IT!!!!

[@JohnBuckley1989]

i really wish she had released this song as her 1st single. it would have gotten much more notice and i think its one that really needs to be heard.
