said; "Blow my mind, DJ, blow my mind," The Saturdays member Vanessa [White] demands in a hazy and heavily synthesised fashion on the intro of the new The Saturdays single. Opening with what feels as if we've caught her in the middle of a boozy night out, it not only makes a change from her usual ad-libbing duties, but marks a sizable shift for a group whose image relied on being squeaky clean... until now, that is. We make the party super naughty," Rochelle [Wiseman] teases before strutting her stuff on the bar, while serial good-girl Mollie [King] unleashes her inner animal as she chants "getcha claws out" over a thumping Xenomania
-helmed beat. Meanwhile, Frankie [Sandford] finds herself on "the edge of desire" in a quiet corner with her fella and Una [Healy] urges hers not to forget her anytime soon. Given the result is handbag house-pop at its very best, we can't see that being much of a problem." Overall, Digital Spy decided upon the reward the band a four out of 5 stars. Gigulate said; "Their fun, girlish vibe and unabashed pop sensibility has been traded for a cookie-cutter electro-pop sound."

turned down an opportunity to collaborate with the band and later went onto "slag" their music off. He went onto label the band as just "miming back-up dancers" the band re-acted to the rapper's claims and said he should "grow a pair" and say it to their faces instead of saying it to the paparazzi. They also called him a "silly, silly boy" as the band have to play at a number of festivals with him, and are planning on confronting him. The members of the band wanted to meet with the rapper to have it out with him, however there was no said that this happened.
Not all reviews were positive for "All Fired Up", Grant Howitt from FHM
said; "It’s about having a good old dance. Fair enough. It’s a fine topic for a pop song, being as it is number three on a list of three possible pop topics (“I fancy you, which is a good thing” and “You don’t fancy me, which is a bad thing” are the other two), and we can imagine having a good old boogie to it ourselves. After a few, obviously, it’s not something we’d go into sober." However, Cool FM
said the girls continue to blow them away as their signature pop vocals are played over a synth dance beat creating this anthemic dance banger. OK! Magazine said they love The Saturdays
new song, and that ever since they first heard the track that they could not get the song out their heads.
" did fantastically well and we’d be delighted to get into the top ten again. "All Fired Up" has had fantastic feedback from the fans on Facebook
and Twitter
so we’re confident but at the same time we’d never say that if it doesn’t get to number one then it’s not a hit because we have lots of songs that’s people love that didn’t get to the top." According to the midweek charts, Lott is due to be at number one on Sunday, however; it is said that The Saturdays could take over as they are only 1,000 copies behind Lott. It was later said that Lott was up 1,200 more than the band. Upon on release, the single entered the Irish Singles Charts at number-six becoming the band's fifth top ten hit in Ireland
. It was predicted during the midweek charts that "All Fired Up" would debut at number-two on the UK Singles Chart
, behind Pixie Lott. However it was revealed that "All Fired Up" had debuted at number-three on the official charts; behind Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera's "Move Like Jagger" [number-two] and Pixie Lott [number one].

’ brand new video for "All Fired Up" has landed on our desks and we're finding it hard to continue the rest of our day after experiencing horrid flashbacks of the girls looking fitter than we'll ever be. The magazine went onto say that plus the band are looking ever so glamorous for what appears to be just flooding an empty (and very posh) parking lot. They went onto says that "the girls wow in a series of ensembles and seem switch from black and white silver to gold outfits just by flipping their hair."
