This is actually a not badly produced song (I gingerly pick out the words to describe it in fear of being flamed before my thread is even read and the subject heading sentences me to a state of toast). They were playing it in JC penny today. But maybe it sounded good only in comparison to the REALLY bad stuff they were playing before, i.e. endless, infinite arpeggios on some synthesized piano with a yucky chord progression that drips with more sap than a maple tree in season. Who knows. The point is I want to know who produced it, and all I already know it's not Max Martin. (Duh).
