Lyrics below:
Static tone on the phone, are we breaking again?
Must be something better, babe
All the names that you called out in bed seem to fade
To sometime never but
I won′t cry for all the hunger in my heart, no
I won't cry because I′ve made it through this far
Just 'cause you're raising the bet and call the shots now for me, ooh
It really doesn′t faze me how you spend your time, ooh
Just ′cause you're raising the bet and call the shots now on me, ooh
It really doesn′t faze me how you spend your time, ooh
Out of the fire that burns inside me
A phoenix is rising
If you don't feel that you can love me
I won′t shoot you down
And I won't cry for all the hunger in my heart, no
No, I won′t cry because I've stumbled through this far
Just 'cause you′re raising the bet and call the shots now for me, ooh
It really doesn′t faze me how you spend your time, ooh
Just 'cause you′re raising the bet and call the shots now on me, ooh
It really doesn't faze me how you spend your time, ooh
I′ve seen life burn bright, seen it shimmer (seen it shimmer)
Then fade like starlight to a glimmer (to a glimmer) oh, no
I've seen life flow by like a river (like a river)
So full of twilight, dreams that glitter (dreams that glitter)
Just ′cause you're raising the bet and call the shots now for me, ooh
It really doesn't faze me how you spend your time, ooh
Just ′cause you′re raising the bet and call the shots now on me, ooh
It really doesn't faze me how you spend your time, ooh
Just ′cause you're raising the bet and call the shots now for me, ooh
It really doesn′t faze me how you spend your time, ooh
Just 'cause you′re raising the bet and call the shots now...

One of their best songs. RIP Sarah Harding.
Don't get me wrong. I am not the biggest Girls Aloud fan in the world. But this is a fantastic pop song. One of the best ever. There is no lead-in, no intro. It starts at a hundred miles an hour & the beat never lets up. Should have been their biggest hit.

Nadine and Sarah are the best vocalists. Nicola is one of the weakest, which is why she rarely starts a song or leads on the chorus.
One of my favourite songs. I love Girls Aloud. Poor beautiful Sarah, RIP 🌹
i'm old - born in the mid 60's - broke my teeth on punk and metal in the late 70's early 80's and still pretty much listen to the same noisy stuff today but i love this song - keep it quiet tho,,,,,😋
The fact that Sara appears at the end of the video with that iconic sight looking at the camera, and then a star fades in the sky, makes so much sense now. She will be truly missed... RIP.

I personally met Sarah harding a few years ago she stopped took the time to give me an autograph, I had a photo with her, I can honestly say she was the nicest most pleasant woman you could ever wish to meet, and she's so attractive, she actually spent a couple of minutes chatting it was great meeting her I hope she pulls through god bless her xx

Call The Shots has one of the most beautiful bridges ever written and sung for a pop song; Nicola’s phrasing is exquisite. It’s so easy to diss a girl group that was put together on a tv show, but out of nowhere, they became a platform for glittering, cutting-edge, pure pop.

This is the best song they ever done. Bless sacral harding hope she's smiling down from heaven xx
Praying for Sarah Harding 🙏❤️
Cheryl looks absolutely stunning
I always get excited to hear Sarah’s parts in their songs
As a 66 year old UK Geordie working class man I might now be the obvious fan for this band but whoever picks their songs knows what they are doing, all the songs are great and the girls are beautiful
Love Nadine shes got such a strong voice. And can outsing pretty much anyone
Nadine is absolutely world class - stunning vocalist
Watching this in 4K! WOW!
Pop perfection I miss this time in music R.I.P Sarah and thanks for the wonderful nostalgia your songs bring and for giving us some of the best pop hits growing up. 🕊
' it really doesn't faze me how you spend your time ' ! when we die, we take nothing from here, but memories .
This was my favourite video and song. Sarah looked soo glamorous in this video.
This is my favourite Girls Aloud song. ✨🩷
You just forget or didn’t realise just how great each one these girls were. Absolutely amazing voices and harmonised so well
One of the greatest songs ever created. There is something magical about this.
Beautiful song

It still boggles my mind how, Girls Aloud didn't see the brilliance of this track. They should have released it world wide. It's a shame it wasn't a number one in the Uk, as it's obviously one of the most mature, beautiful and distinct songs ever recorded by a girl group. It's perfection.

RIP Sarah, your light burned bright and will shine throughout eternity. Safe flight home Angel. x
I always thought they were singing "just cuz ur raising the bets and call the shots now I won't bleed" in the chorus😂anyway, this song is timeless, after all these years still a banger and had me at the 1st listen
Girls Aloud really were amazing. They weren't just a "pop group" - they were a musical force. Amazing songs.
Girls Aloud were the soundtrack to my teenage years from 2002-2009
Bless her Herts go out family and wat love her voice she had rip my darling gone to soon xxc
The end of the video gives me chills, with Sarah (that part in the album version belongs to Cheryl) and then the view of the sky with the shooting stars ... we will miss you dear Sarah!
I find it sad listening to their songs since Sarah's passing. She was always my favourite member. Beautiful woman. This is a fantastic song - a great slice of British pop from Xenomania and the girls voices enhance this much more.
Just seen them in Sheffield. Amazing concert and the tributes to Sarah (RIP taken too young) were amazing. Love all of the girls
Sarah's illness echoed my mum's 10 years ago. Breast cancer which spread to her brain. I know all too well what Sarah and her family were going through in those last few months. Knowing that there is no more suffering does ease things, but at 39, it's still very tragic and her family and friends are going to go through a lot mentally. If there's any light to this news, I hope it spurs on woman of any age to get themselves checked regularly. The idea might be daunting and scary, but it could genuinely save you life. Rest easy now Sarah. I'm not a huge girl/boy group kind of guy, but always had a soft spot for Girls Aloud, and this song in particular was their very best.

Greatest pop song of all time? Maybe so.
Girls Aloud were a pop band like no other. Perfect, catchy, often unusual pop songs. You hear a GA song, you know it’s them. They had their very own sound. There will never be another group like them!
