Recommendation

Should you sing it?

Sorry, Blame It On Me rewards a singer who knows the lyric well enough to focus on the lyric’s point of view. Its structure offers more changing verse text than repeated hook material, while the words have a dense lyric flow. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
