Released at the start of 2010 'Parachute' is the third single from Cheryl Cole's UK multi-platinum debut '3 Words'. A definite departure from both of her previous solo singles and her extensive body of work with Girls Aloud, 'Parachute' has something of a Latin feel about it thanks to the use of a military-like drum beat and striking string sections – provided by American hit maker Syience. For the track's video, Cheryl teamed up with ‘Dancing With The Stars' Derek Hough and created a heated and passionate paso doble dance routine that won the pair considerable acclaim. Lyrically, 'Parachute' sees Cheryl exploring the idea of the confidence you can have in a lover, despite the faith that others may lack. A standout track from '3 Words', ‘Parachute’ was a wise choice for the album's third single. ~ John Rowley ~ Copyright (c) Shazam Entertainment Limited 2010. All rights reserved
