Infobox

 * How do you know the B-side?
 * ✅ Check the track listing; I fixed it. Carbrera (talk) 05:45, 31 July 2016 (UTC)


 * How do you know when it was recorded?

Lead

 * Flawless.
 * ✅ Thanks so much!

Background and composition

 * "Written by Jimmy Harry and Nanna Øland Fabricius, Dave McCracken served as the song's executive producer" → It was Written by Jimmy Harry and Nanna Øland Fabricius, while Dave McCracken served as the song's executive producer.


 * "Lyrically, the song depicts a relationship by comparing it to the sun's orbit" → perhaps wrong reference? Can't see to find that information in the link provided.
 * ✅ Yes! Thanks for that; the correct source was the MTV source. Carbrera (talk) 04:08, 3 August 2016 (UTC)


 * "for a promotional appearance" → Does the source back this up?


 * let it go." → let it go".


 * "and guitars" → guitars


 * The quote box could be included in the paragraphs or in a third one, no need to be separated. You already have said something similar in the text.

Critical reception

 * "In his album review, John Calvert" → On the other hand, in his album review, John Calvert...

Chart performance

 * peaking on several record charts worldwide. → entering on some record charts. (seems bias)


 * However, it was a sleeper hit, peaking in the majority of its countries in 2012, over a year after its original release. → reference ad it doesn't seem like a sleeper hit?
 * ✅ No reference actually states that it was a sleeper hit, but I found it to be since it didn't peak on any countries' main chart until March 2012, which was a considerable amount of time when you look at its initial release. I reworded it so I hope that helps.


 * Add Germany and since it had the most success in the US describe its chart course as well as in Denmark since it was the most successful chart in Europe.
 * ✅ Added additional information here.

Music video

 * Not sure if you need the frame of the video. I can have an idea of it without it.
 * Should I remove it? Carbrera (talk) 05:45, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 19:10, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
 * ✅ Removed.


 * A music video for "Sun of a Gun", directed by ThirtyTwo, was first released onto YouTube on 19 October 2010 → You say YouTube but you have a Vevo reference.


 * "The video opens with the dark side of Oh Land, wearing a black dress and extensive eye makeup. She performs the song's choreography atop a cloud-like stage, surrounded by blinking lights. As the track's chorus begins, the light side of Oh Land appears, in a skin-colored dress and longer hair, in front of a screen displaying the sun. The second verse finds her wearing a different black dress, and singing the song by many mirrors; simultaneously, visuals of Oh Land on the ground dancing appear. The following chorus shows the same scenario, but in the same skin-colored dress from earlier. In the song's bridge, both versions of the singer pull a shawl over their head, allowing it to move with the wind. The video concludes with Oh Land closing her eyes as the screen cuts to black." → Marvelous, just lacks references.
 * Based on my knowledge, plot summaries are not required to contain references if what is being described can be backed up completely in the video itself.
 * Ok, then. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 19:10, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

Live performances

 * Fine

Track listings and formats

 * These need to be included in the release history along with prose.
 * ✅ I couldn't find any source(s) that revealed the release date for the various CDs and vinyl release, so I didn't include any of that information, but I surely mentioned them. Carbrera (talk) 04:55, 3 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Use.

Credits and personnel

 * Use.


 * In the "Personnel" section use two columns.

Charts

 * Fine.

Release history

 * Needs prose.
 * I do not believe I am following what you mean here. Could you further clarify? Carbrera (talk) 05:45, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
 * You need to write a small summary like "The was sent to American contemporary hit radio on August 1, 2016". MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 18:48, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
