Jason Derulo: 'In My Head'
Here on British shores, the gents have been getting battered by a tidal wave of electropop ladies, but it's been a different story Stateside. The likes of Iyaz, Owl City and our very own Jay Sean have all held residence at the top of the US charts, while 22-year-old newcomer Jason Derulo recently made a four-month climb to the summit with 'Whatcha Say', shifting two million units along the way.

That track's success was somewhat buoyed by its zappy Imogen Heap sample, but this follow-up shows Derulo is well capable of holding his own. An uptempo R&B number built around jagged guitar riffs on the verses and a bouncy, Taio Cruz-style Europop hook, 'In My Head' finds Derulo opening up about exactly what's on his mind: "In my head, I see you all over me, in my head, you fulfill my fantasy." Exciting, slightly naughty and hot enough to see out the Big Freeze, the young contender's made it two crackers in a row here.

It was just as good as the last one but Dingo is right it did sound similar to Just Dance by Lady Gaga

In My Head isn't a bad song by all means but after Whatcha Say it just feels like a let down. The lyrics are corny and the video looks like it had the budget of a teenagers daily school dinners. Sorry, Jason derulo. It's not happening for me.

I liked "Whatcha say" but this song, despite the fact it is catchy, has immoral lyrics. A one night stand!!! Its a shame that its not just a love or break up song, if it was, i would buy it!

Heard this yesterday and I think it's great. It has all the catchyness of Whatcha Say, but it's more exciting, I love the rockier sound too, and at least people can't say he's ripped off anyone this time (although some probably will anyway). An impressive follow-up, Derulo won't be a one-hit wonder with songs like this.
