The first chorus of "Suddenly". |
"Suddenly" is a song by American country music artist LeAnn Rimes, released as the third and final single from her fifth studio album Twisted Angel (2002) on February 24, 2003. The song was written by Desmond Child and Andreas Carlsson and produced by the former along with Peter Amato and Gregg Pagani. The song was included in the soundtrack for the 2003 box-office bomb View from the Top.
It was a commercial failure, only peaking within the top forty in New Zealand and Scotland. In the US, the song peaked at number 43 on the US Hot Country Songs chart. Two music videos were filmed for the song, both of which were directed by Cameron Casey. [1]
In the United Kingdom, "Suddenly" debuted at number 47 on the UK Singles Chart the week of March 8, 2003. It would only spend one other week before falling off entirely. [2] The song performed slightly better in Scotland, debuting at number 33 on the Scottish Singles Chart. The song did not perform well across the rest of Europe. The song debuted and peaked at number 90 on the German Singles Chart on March 3, 2003, being her last single to chart there to date. [3] The only other country the song charted in was in the Netherlands, where it debuted at number 93 on the Single Top 100 chart and spent only three weeks in total.
"Suddenly" debuted and peaked at number 53 on the ARIA Singles Chart. In neighboring New Zealand, "Suddenly" debuted at number 46 on the New Zealand Singles Chart on May 11, 2003. It spent ten weeks in total and peaked at number 24, becoming Rimes's third entry after " Can't Fight the Moonlight" and " Life Goes On".
In the United States, "Suddenly" was only released to country radio on March 10, 2003; it was the album's only release to the format after "Life Goes On" was pulled. [4] It debuted on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart (then titled "Hot Country Singles & Tracks") the week of March 8, 2003 at number 54. [5] It reached a peak of number 43 on the chart the week of May 3, 2003, spending 15 weeks in total; this resulted in Twisted Angel becoming Rimes's first studio album to not spawn any top forty hits on the chart.
Cameron Casey directed the music video for the song. Two videos were created for the song. Both feature Rimes at a party; one version uses cut scenes of its parent film View from the Top while the other replaces the movie scenes with regular shots. The video premiered to CMT on March 17, 2003. [6]
