This is absolutely her best single. We're Not Gonna Sleep Tonight is the best song on her album, too. My suggestion is to buy it, if you don't have it yet!

this is an ok single really,it still sound's like the 60's and
70's music no actually more like disco.there's not really mutch
to say except be careful beacuase you might be tempted to buy
this for above 4$ when you see the front cover.

After 'What I am' (2# in UK chart),'What took you so long' (#1 in UK chart),Take my breath away (#5 in UK chart), emma realises another single from her gold album 'a girl like me'.
We're not gonna sleep tonight is a wonderful ballad, emma sings this song with intense emotions and energy.
Although the song hasn't been so lucky in uk chart, arriving in fact only at the 20th position, this single has a remarkable success in Europe and in the world, #4 in Greece, Ireland, Brazil and Malaysia, #6 in Poland, Romania, Belgium and Slovenjia, #10 in Philippines, Singapore, Moldavie, # 15 in Italy, Chile, Panama. Another great success for the wonderful emma, come on go to get it

"We're Not Gonna Sleep Tonight" is one of her best singles from her career thus far, but doesn't stack up against anything on "Free Me." This is a better pop tune off her debut album but it lacks the full vocal strength found on her follow up album. The song is good with the high strung acoustic and spanish guitars and the girls night out theme. But the lyrics are somewhat cliched and too much of vocal distortions were used on this song. Also, it seems like her vocals were digitally fixed to sound better than what may have been produced by Bunton, such as to possibly keep her sounding in tune.

Overall this is a good song, but of course this song stays well within the realm of radio-friendly pop found during the time period. Bunton's follow up album shows she had a stronger vocal presence with good vocal variations without the need of too much vocal 'help.'

This track has received a flamenco flavoured single mix which is superior to the original album version. However it is probably not the best choice to be the 4th single from her album "A Girl Like Me". Also included on the single is a dance remix which does little to enhance the track. It may sound good in a club, but I'm not convinced. I think the best track on this single is the non-album track "Let Your Baby Show You How To Move". It has a really now r'n'b feel to it. This track would have been put to better use if it was included on her album, which is also worth checking out.
