It also serves as the first single from his debut studio album ''Traffic''. The song's production was handled by Mensa himself and Stefan Ponce, with additional writing from Jasmine Zepaida. "Down On My Luck" has since peaked at number 37 on the UK Singles Chart. == Critical reception == ''Complex'' named "Down On My Luck" the fifteenth best song of the first-half of 2014. Their writer Insanul Ahmed said, "Bolstered by it's Groundhog's Day-style music video, the song might feel like a blatant attempt by a rappity rapper to make a dance song to get on the charts. But when you consider Vic's Chicago roots, the house beat makes a lot more sense. Plus, as fans of Vic's ''INNANETAPE'' know, he's all about mixing and merging sounds and styles. So even if "Down on My Luck" doesn't feature much rapping, it still somehow plays into Vic's strengths." Renato Pagnani of Pitchfork Media stated, "it's the restlessness of last year's ''Innanetape'' that helps contextualize "Down on My Luck" as a natural extension of Mensa's omnivorous musical appetite rather than a hard—and cynical—left turn. It also doesn't hurt that the track nails the propulsive throb of deep house and comes equipped with an earworm of a hook that suggests Mensa might have a career in him as a dance vocalist if this rapping thing doesn't pan out."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Down On My Luck」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
