Louder (Parade song)

The song received mixed to positive reviews from the music critics. Lewis Corner of Digital Spy said about Louder: 'A winning mix of insistent beats, pinches of piano and choppy synths, all topped off with a nursery rhyme-style chant of "Turn it up boy, boy, turn it up boy…", 'Louder' bubbles with modern pop fun, but does it offer anything we haven't heard before? Put it this way - The Saturdays needn't worry about eBaying off their Mulberry handbags just yet.' He awarded the song three stars.[1]

The music video shows the members of Parade having fun at a girly house party, and in the end they take the party to the streets where they are accompanied by some fireworks.[2] The video was directed by Emil Nava.

While Parade are touring, Louder was part of a set list of songs including a cover of Cee Lo Green's Forget You, a song called Rollercoaster, and an original acoustic song called Rokstar performed by the group, as well as their song Perfume, which has been confirmed as their second single.

Their first T.V. performance of Louder was on the National Lottery. Their second major T.V. performance was at the launch of the Nintendo 3DS alongside other performers including Russell Kane and Plan B.

The group debuted the track while there were supporting a number of celebrities including Alexandra Burke, Shakira, Ellie Goulding and Shayne Ward
