Infobox

• How do you know the B-side?

•  Done Check the track listing; I fixed it. Carbrera (talk) 05:45, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

• How do you know when it was recorded?

Lead

• Flawless.

•  Done Thanks so much!

Background and composition

• "Written by Jimmy Harry and Nanna Øland Fabricius, Dave McCracken served as the song's executive producer" → It was Written by Jimmy Harry and Nanna Øland Fabricius, while Dave McCracken served as the song's executive producer.

•  Done

• "Lyrically, the song depicts a relationship by comparing it to the sun's orbit" → perhaps wrong reference? Can't see to find that information in the link provided.

•  Done Yes! Thanks for that; the correct source was the MTV source. Carbrera (talk) 04:08, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

• "for a promotional appearance" → Does the source back this up?

•  Done

• let it go." → let it go".

•  Done

• "and guitars" → guitars

•  Done

• The quote box could be included in the paragraphs or in a third one, no need to be separated. You already have said something similar in the text.

•  Done

Critical reception

• "In his album review, John Calvert" → On the other hand, in his album review, John Calvert...

•  Done

Chart performance

• peaking on several record charts worldwide. → entering on some record charts. (seems bias)

•  Done

• However, it was a sleeper hit, peaking in the majority of its countries in 2012, over a year after its original release. → reference ad it doesn't seem like a sleeper hit?

•  Done No reference actually states that it was a sleeper hit, but I found it to be since it didn't peak on any countries' main chart until March 2012, which was a considerable amount of time when you look at its initial release. I reworded it so I hope that helps.

• Add Germany and since it had the most success in the US describe its chart course as well as in Denmark since it was the most successful chart in Europe.

•  Done Added additional information here.

Music video

• Not sure if you need the frame of the video. I can have an idea of it without it.

• Should I remove it? Carbrera (talk) 05:45, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

Yes. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 19:10, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

•  Done Removed.

• A music video for "Sun of a Gun", directed by ThirtyTwo, was first released onto YouTube on 19 October 2010 → You say YouTube but you have a Vevo reference.

•  Done

• "The video opens with the dark side of Oh Land, wearing a black dress and extensive eye makeup. She performs the song's choreography atop a cloud-like stage, surrounded by blinking lights. As the track's chorus begins, the light side of Oh Land appears, in a skin-colored dress and longer hair, in front of a screen displaying the sun. The second verse finds her wearing a different black dress, and singing the song by many mirrors; simultaneously, visuals of Oh Land on the ground dancing appear. The following chorus shows the same scenario, but in the same skin-colored dress from earlier. In the song's bridge, both versions of the singer pull a shawl over their head, allowing it to move with the wind. The video concludes with Oh Land closing her eyes as the screen cuts to black." → Marvelous, just lacks references.

• Based on my knowledge, plot summaries are not required to contain references if what is being described can be backed up completely in the video itself.

Ok, then. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 19:10, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

Live performances

• Fine

•  Done

Track listings and formats

• These need to be included in the release history along with prose.

•  Done I couldn't find any source(s) that revealed the release date for the various CDs and vinyl release, so I didn't include any of that information, but I surely mentioned them. Carbrera (talk) 04:55, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

Release history

• I do not believe I am following what you mean here. Could you further clarify? Carbrera (talk) 05:45, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

You need to write a small summary like "The was sent to American contemporary hit radio on August 1, 2016". MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 18:48, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

External links

• Fine.
