　　PCD主唱Nicole Scherzinger前幾天又送了一支新單曲給電台，這支名為Happily Never After的新單曲是Nicole個人單飛專輯"Her Name Is Nicole"截至目前為止的第五支專輯先行單曲，由Neyo製作，Neyo也在歌曲中擔任合音，曲調非常舒服的一首歌，歌詞以說故事的方式描述戀情結束後雨過天晴的心情。

　　Nicole前幾天在官網證實她的個人專輯無限期延後，因為她想要確定每首歌都是最完美的才發行。我覺得Nicole真的有紅的本錢，最新這首Happily Never After可以聽出她的歌聲表情是可以很多變的，從Whatever U Like、Puakenikeni的性感挑逗，Baby Love的甜美，到Happily Never After的溫柔，其實她真的很有實力也有紅的本錢，希望她的單飛生涯可以順利囉！我還蠻喜歡Happily Never After這首歌的。

　　而參與這張專輯的大牌製作人作品也陸續流出了，從黑眼豆豆團長Will I Am到Akon，一直到Happily Never After的Neyo，這張專輯真的網羅了各大製作人，我想由Timbaland製作的單曲應該會晚一點流出，當成是秘密武器吧！

　　記得Beyonce曾說，有歌迷告訴她，聽過她的Irreplaceable才恍然大悟，原來在一段戀情當中自己才是最重要的，要記得也要懂得多愛自己一點。

　　前幾天聽到一位好友也面臨戀情結束後的情傷，而在熱戀中每一句甜言蜜語，在事後也都成為讓自己深深重傷的利刃。正如Sex And The City中Carrie所說的，結束一段感情是很痛苦，但也很私密的，分手這件事無關於兩個人本身的個性如何。或許只要無愧於自己和對方，就可以不必去在意其他人的眼光了。

　　Nicole的新單曲就像Irreplaceable的溫和版，也許Irreplaceable那種強勢的作風只有像Beyonce這種黑人女孩或女強人才可以體會，那麼Happily Never After就是為了每個在愛情中受傷的平凡人所打造的歌曲，雖然不鼓勵自私的行為，不過如果戀情平和結束了，那麼就記得多愛自己一點吧！



Happily Never After

"I don't think I want this anymore, "
As she drops the ring to the floor.
She says to herself, "You've left before, "
"This time you will stay gone, that's for sure."

And he shattered something else
To drag her suitcase down the path,
To the driveway.
She had never gone that far.

Normally this would be
The time that she
Would let him talk her out of leaving,
But this time, without crying,
As she got into her car, she said,

"No
'Happily Never After'
That just ain't for me.
Because finally,
I know
I deserve better, after all
I'll never let another teardrop fall."

As she drove away she starts to smile,
Realized she hadn't for a while.
No destination, she drove for miles
Wondering why she stayed in such denial.

She was laughing about the way he shattered something else
To drag her suitcase down the path,
To the driveway
She had never gone that far
Normally this would be, the time that she
Would let him talk her out of leaving, but this time, without crying,
As she got into her car, she said,

"No
'Happily Never After'
That just ain't for me
Because finally,
I know I deserve better
After all
I'll never let another teardrop fall."

I'm done, I'm done, said I'm so done,
I'm free, I'm free, so free
Free to feel the way I feel, yeah.

She inhales a breath she'd never breathed before
Don't want no drama no more.

'Cause she says " No
'Happily Never After'
That just ain't for me"

"I know
I deserve, better after all
I know I'll never let another teardrop fall"
"No
'Happily Never After'
That just ain't for me"
Because finally,
I know (I'm done, I'm done) I deserve better (so done), after all
(I'm free, I'm free)
I'll never let another teardrop fall"

("I'm done, "I'm done" "I'm done",
"I'm done, so done, so done")

Said I'm done, I'm done, I'm done
