![]() Irish Evening Herald opined that the song "showcases an updated Pretenders' sound." Linda Ryan from the Gavin Report declared it as one of the album's "beautiful, heart-stopping ballads", adding that it "will be a monster hit in a variety of formats." Caroline Sullivan from The Guardian remarked its "simple vow". In addition, Hynde's singing has grown to where she can wail with the best of them, as she does here against a backdrop that increases perfectly with the rising emotion in her voice." Ken Tucker from Entertainment Weekly stated that the singer "matches form with content again and again" on the album, noting that she is "pledging solemn faithfulness to a loved one on the somber anthem". Though this song has a decidedly different tone, the feeling is as strong as ever. Fourteen years ago, what drew people to her was the conviction she sang with. Hard to believe this is the same Chrissie Hynde who, in the song " Precious", once told the world to "fuck off". Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that Chrissie Hynde "returns with a worn, but warm vocal that evokes a powerful, moving presence." Steve Baltin from Cashbox felt that "from the opening note, this song oozes "nice". Since 2010 the song has been used in an appeal advert for the NSPCC, and also the Girls Aloud version was used in an advert for Aptamil follow-on milk. On the long-running BBC program Songwriters Circle, Hynde mentions her embarrassment at having set out to write a "hit." She goes on to say that she felt better about the song after Noel Gallagher said "he wished he'd written it.". The music video for "I'll Stand by You" was released in 1994 and features Chrissie Hynde caring for an ill man. It charted higher in the UK and the US than "Night in My Veins", the album's first single. "I'll Stand by You" was released as the second single from the album Last of the Independents (1994), and it reached number 16 on the US Billboard Hot 100, number 21 on Billboard 's Modern Rock Tracks chart, and number 10 in the United Kingdom. Colombian singer Shakira performed the song for the live charity telethon Hope for Haiti Now in 2010 her cover version was released on the charity benefit album, which was also entitled Hope for Haiti Now. It also became a major hit for British girl group Girls Aloud in 2004 and American country singer Carrie Underwood in 2007, both times recorded as a charity single. Released on April 11, 1994, "I'll Stand by You" reached the top 20 in several countries, including Australia, Belgium, Canada, Iceland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The song is a ballad in which the singer pledges love and faithful assistance to a loved one in times of personal darkness. The song was written by Chrissie Hynde and the songwriting team of Tom Kelly and Billy Steinberg, and produced by Ian Stanley.
