This article is about... a song recorded by American singer Gwen Stefani and featuring vocals by Pharrell Williams for the 2014 film Paddington. It has recently gone through the GA review and passed and I believe it has all the qualities for a FA. Thank you in advance for your comments and suggestions.

- Who is Pharrell Williams? - provide context to the uninformed reader.
Done
- Too many instances with the word "song" in the lead and the article body.
Done Replaced a few instances; let me know if more needs to replaced.
- "Stefani later praised the song's lyrics" - how so? what changed her mind, just the viewing of the film? If so, which particular scene?
- According to the sources, she changed her mind just by the viewing of the film with her children. She did not pick out a particular scene when talking about it. Aoba47 (talk) 05:00, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- When was "Happy" and "Spark the Fire" released?
Done I originally had the dates next to all the songs, but I was advised to removed them during the GAN as the reviewer called them "filler".
- Since we don't have an article on Herbert Chappell, can you explain who he is/was?
Done
- Who are The Cranberries?
Done
- There is a difference between reggae and reggae pop.
Done Thank you for this catch! I can't believe I overlooked something as obvious as this ><

- Thank you for your comments! Let me know if there is anything else that needs to be improved. Aoba47 (talk) 05:00, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- The infobox says reggae pop but the lead says reggae.
Done
- Herbert is a composer, got it but what's his nationality? Which era of music was he in?
Done Let me know if this part needs to be clarified more. Aoba47 (talk) 02:28, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Still too many instances with the word "song" in the article body (try track, it, recording, etc).
Done Thank you for the suggestion; I couldn't think of alternatives for some reason. Aoba47 (talk) 02:28, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - The prose is not of FA standard and the article needs copyediting throughout. I am not going to list all the problems, because this is FAC and not peer review, except for one: "but some criticized the it for being weaker". Graham Beards (talk) 20:49, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- @Graham Beards: Thank you for your comment. I have revised the part you have pointed out, but I honestly can't see any other errors in the prose. Just for your knowledge was c/e by the GOCE, but I will submit it for peer review if this fails. Aoba47 (talk) 21:03, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to withdraw this nomination. I have put this article up for peer review to improve it to the FA standard if possible. I would like to thank both of the people who commented. Aoba47 (talk) 19:56, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
