Producer

I've noticed a couple of different users changing the producer from Diplo to Spike Stent. The following sources credit Diplo with the production:

These are considered reliable so I'm leaving it at Diplo until someone can provide proof otherwise from a reliable source. Scarce2 (talk) 13:18, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Chart performance

The single didn't land Belgian's main chart (Ultratop 50) but landed 18th in another less important chart (the Ultratip 100) Ziyalistix (talk) 10:03, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Cartoon network freak, and here's my review to your GAN:

Lead

a song by -> a song recorded by
Spike Stent, it was -> Spike Stent, the track was; you've already used "it"
2012 by -> 2012 through
Remove "Latin and Caribbean-tinged beats" -> it is no genre and it doesn't fit togethr with the other content
Lyrically, the song -> Lyrically, "Settle Down"; you've already used "song"
about confidence and about feeling good, adjusting yourself to unfamiliar circumstances -> about confidence and feeling good, with one of its subtopics being familiar circumstances
other songs -> other recordings; you've already used "song"
Some critics -> Some reviewers; you've already used "critics"
fifth album Rock Steady, -> fifth studio album, Rock Steady (2001),
Remove "particularly"
Santigold songs -> the works of Santigold
July 16, 2012. In it, -> July 16, 2012, which portrays
convoy, which -> convoy that
to perform the song -> to perform "Settle Down"
It received -> The clip received
praising the -> praising its
lights and -> lights, and
to do -> to shoot

Background and release

album Rock Steady -> album, Rock Steady
hiatus to take a break to -> hiatus, in order to
add year of the compilation in "()"
The main reason to go into hiatus was that, in early 2003, their lead singer Gwen Stefani started work on her 1980s-inspired new wave/dance-pop music side project, under which she has released two solo albums — Love. Angel. Music. Baby. on November 23, 2004 and The Sweet Escape on December 5, 2006 ->The main reason the band took a break from their music career was of Gwen Stefani's solo work; she had released two albums — Love. Angel. Music. Baby. (2004) and The Sweet Escape (2006).
Remove "successful"; fancruft
began initial work -> commenced work
2008, after Gwen Stefani wrapped the tour behind her second solo album, The Sweet Escape. -> 2008, following Stefani's promotional tour of her second solo record.
This section is too excesively about the album; try to short it out

Outcome

I've reviewed a select few sections, but as you can see, there are a substantial amount of basic errors. However, I think the first step would be to request the article be copy-edited, and then even request someone to help you improve the article (however, I'd discourage asking me as I'd quite like to re-review this when it's been worked on, and if I've worked on it, I can't review it!)
