Has some problems...
Overall, this sounds like a professional song and I is pretty fun to listen to, but unfortunately it has its defects, and although it's a good song, these defects ruin it a little. Still, in general, you're a good producer, and the production in this just shows this talent of yours. Not a bad job :).
The melodies are one of the biggest defects of this song. The melody sung by the vocals is Basshunter's, so I can't really give you any credit for that, and the melodies you made weren't too good to be honest. They just didn't have that 'hook' to them. The one at 1:15 wasn't too catchy. Also another problem with this song is that it's very generic. It starts with the usual dance buildup, and the chord progression you used, although it isn't the usual dance chord progression, it still is pretty generic. The structure itself is generic and the vocals are slightly cheesy, but still, the vocals in general were alright, and sung very well. I liked the part at 1:44 where the piano came in, it broke up the monotony and repetitiveness of the song quite well. As for the number of alternate melodies, you could add some more synth melodies, since IMO having one synth melody wasn't enough.
The instruments themselves are, like many elements in this song, generic. Still, the fact that they're used in so many dance songs doesn't necessarily make them bad-sounding. Maybe your piano could be a bit less muddy, since at times it has so much reverb on it that it's a little hard to understand. Overall instruments were alright. As for the production, it was pristine. You seem to be really good when it comes to production, and I can't complain about the production at all. As for sound effects that you used, I liked your reverse cymbal, it provided great transitions, and I liked the sweeps you used a little after the 2 minute marker. Sound effects were good :).
The transitions are very smooth, and as I said above, your use of reverse cymbals and sweeps were effective and gave good transitions. I liked the transitions at 1:42 and 2:12, and overall the transitions were pretty well done and the song flowed very smoothly. Buildups were done well overall too, but I suppose that's almost automatic since good buildups are always key elements to a good Dance song. Good job with the transitions/buildups ^^.
The song is well structured. Too bad the structure is so generic, but still, it has synth breakdowns, it has buildups, it has solos, so yeah, the structure is fine. When it comes to the variety, as I said above, you could've added another synth melody, and also the song's lyrics got a little repetitive, even though they were well-written and well-sung. The intro was superb, even though it's similar to a lot of dance intros, and the ending was also very good. Ended on the right note and was a very satisfying ending, although maybe the last note could use a bit more of a 'boom', if you get what I mean, maybe some powerful slightly reverbed kick or crash. After all, an ending note most of the time should be more powerful and significant than any other note, at least in my opinion.
The drums overall were good. Kick was nice and powerful, clap sounded good, crash was alright, if not slightly weak, and the snare rolls throughout the song provided some great transitions and sounded nice. The hat you used in the song was too quiet, though. I think overall your cymbals should be a little louder. Still, the drums overall were pretty well done, and fit with the song pretty well. Not a bad job with the drums ^^.
This is a good submission, professionally done with fantastic production, smooth transitions, great buildups, well-sung lyrics, excellent intro/outro, decent structure, pretty good variety and OK drums, but my main gripe is that it's very generic, and it's not really new or interesting, and the melody also wasn't too special. So yeah, I think that if you apply your excellent production skills to something more original and less generic, it'd be awesome :). Not a bad job overall, sorry for the long review.
