Heart Vacancy

Critical reception

Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave the song three out of five stars and described it as "a slushy, string-laden slowie about longing for a girl, but with the BPM turned up a notch and a stomping rhythm – too fast for waving lighters but slow enough for hands-in-the-air time – 'Heart Vacancy' treads on the slightly more manly side of sentimental."

Chart performance

"Heart Vacancy" debuted at number two on the UK Singles Chart with first-week sales of 66,394, second only to the Bruno Mars song "Just the Way You Are". In Ireland, the song debuted at peaked at number eighteen. It was re-released as the band's second single in America in April 2012 but did not chart.
