Background
"We started this song when Mr Eazi came through London and did a session with us," the group told
Clash Music. "We ended up changing the key and got Anne-Marie to the studio, which took the song to a whole new level. We then ended up sending it to our friends Major Lazer who flew to London to work with us on it. After that, we heard
Ladysmith Black Mambazo were in town and they ended up recording the BVs in the middle eight. Again this track sums up the theme of the album - we have West African, South African, British and American influences on it. It's so much fun to play this one live!"[2]
