 * "Unwritten" is not a US Pop #1 hit. The "Pop 100" is not the US's main "pop chart", despite the name. That chart is the Hot 100, whose current number-one is Temperature by Sean Paul. --FuriousFreddy 02:22, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The song, however, did reach number one on the Pop 100 for the week published April 8, 2006. &mdash;Eternal Equinox | talk 21:33, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I know. Hence my above comment. --FuriousFreddy 02:29, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, I understand what you had meant to intrepert. &mdash;Eternal Equinox | talk 03:23, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Wording change for North American and Spanish version video description
In the North American and Spanish version description for the video, the word "lift" is used, which I accurately changed to "elevator" since it's the name for that particular machine in North American English ("lift" being BRITISH English)--Marceki111 (talk) 13:07, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Wet warbly sound?
"The song has a wet warbly sound at the end due to her allowing saliva to collect in her mouth for the entire duration of the song." .. this is a joke, right? Coop 08:06, 8 January 2007 (UTC)


 * No, it has been noted that this is the only song where she allows saliva to collect in her mouth throughout the song (probably due to there not being enough time to swallow saliva during "breathing" parts), this is probably the case since there is a wet, slightly warbly sound in parts at the end. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.72.202.222 (talk) 20:01, 20 January 2007 (UTC).
 * Thanks for replying, but I'd still want to see a citation on this. To me it doesn't make any sense since the vocals are multi-tracked and likely made in several takes. The transition from the gospelly bit near the end demonstrates some sort of switch. Coop 14:33, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll admit the "wet, warbly sound" is absent in all studio recordings, but in all live performances she barely has the time to breathe and she has to keep her head tilted back towards the end to apparently avoid saliva spilling out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.162.62.254 (talk • contribs)

No-one seems to have mentioned that the song is tedious, dull and a waste of everyone's time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.87.74.230 (talk) 06:11, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The song's DING DING-DING DING DING-DING beat gives me a headache, especially when I'm on the fuckin' highway stuck in traffic in 90 degree heat goin' home... 129.171.180.64 (talk) 16:48, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

That's because this is Wikipedia. You can post that on Uncyclopedia or Encyclopedia Dramatica, but their rule is to make it funny not stupid. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.162.63.206 (talk) 05:12, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Song written by whom?
Under song history, the song's author is accurately identified as former child star Danielle Brisebois.

However, further down in the text it states that Bedingfield wrote the song (for her youngest brother, Joshua).

Who wrote the song? It is a fact that Brisebois, herself a songwriter and producer, wrote the song Unwritten. She also co-write another Bedingfield hit, Pocketful Of Sunshine. All of this can be verified from Brisebois's website.

So, where did the claim that Bedingfield wrote Unwritten come from?

"Kiss Them For Me" sound-a-like?
This song's instrumentation is very reminiscent of "Kiss Them For Me" by Siouxsie and the Banshees. The similarity is almost too close. Is there any documentation of this that can be added to the article? --98.70.128.248 (talk) 00:14, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Information about song
I can't help but notice that this article contains next to no information about the song itself. Its chart performance, the writing process, its music videos... but not so much as even a description of, e.g., the music or lyrics of the song that the article is ostensibly about.
