"Love Won't Let You Down" kicks the selection off with its upbeat rhythms and a blistering brass-driven melody that could've written for . Drewery's vocal delivery is just as sassy and sophisticated as Springfield's, enhancing the retro feel to the track, a feel that is carried over throughout the whole of the record.
