Release and promotion
The song was released in November 2008 as a digital download only through Syco and Sony BMG. To promote the song, Jackson appeared on the 2008 series of Children in Need where he performed the song in live in front of a studio audience as BBC Television Centre in London. This is known to be the only time that Jackson performed the track on national television in order to promote the release of the single. The BBC said: "'Creative' is a sassy, rumba-rhythmed number where Leon soars above, hinting at his prowess in the boudoir, this is easily the most memorable original track here."[4]
Reception
Digital Spy wrote that the song “swings pretty nicely in a Bublé-esque fashion,” but that the album Right Now did not contain many other good songs.[5]
