Releasing the worst track on their album (inevitably a slushy ballad cover) around this time of year seems to be a bit of an annual tradition with Girls Aloud - first 2004's woeful I'll Stand By You, and now this uninspiring cover of Dee C Lee's See The Day. To be fair, it's not too shabby as girl band ballads go, but coming so hot on the heels of the still-charting Biology and taken from an album chock-full of corking tracks, it seems more than a little cynical. Still, the Girls have arranged themselves for your delight into a festive star formation on the cover, so this deserves a place on the wall if not in your CD player.
