Pet Shop Boys: 'Did You See Me Coming?'

During their 25-year career, the Pet Shop Boys have become known for their sharp, thought-provoking social commentary. But for their most recent record, Yes, the duo drafted in Girls Aloud producers Xenomania to help them craft an all-out upbeat pop record. 'Did You See Me Coming?', the album's second single, is a neat illustration of its sound.

A light, no-strings-attached love song, it finds Neil Tennant delivering an unambiguous and heartwarming message over toe-tapping disco beats. "Did you see me coming, was I that obvious?" he sings joyously, "For all of a sudden, there was just the two of us." It might lack the infectious hook of 'Love etc.', but this is still a welcome offering in a renaissance year for the boys.
