Sing for Me

About Sing for Me

"Sing for Me" is a song recorded by American recording artist Christina Aguilera for her seventh studio album, Lotus (2012). It was written by Ginny Blackmore, Aguilera and producer Aeon "Step" Manahan. Described by Aguilera as being one of the more emotional tracks on Lotus, the song was inspired by the music of Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Etta James, to which she had frequently listened while growing up. "Sing for Me" received positive reviews from music critics, many of whom praised Aguilera's vocal performance. One critic described the song as a new version of "Beautiful" (2002), while many felt that the song was produced in response to the commercial failure of her sixth studio album, Bionic (2010). Upon the release of Lotus, the song debuted on the South Korea international singles chart at number 125 with digital download sales of 2,306. more »
