Songfacts®:

  • Becky Hill is stuck in a rut and needs to unwind at the club. If she can "disconnect" from her current thoughts and feelings there, she will be reenergized for all that lies ahead.
  • Hill teamed up with British electronic music duo Chase & Status for this high energy drum 'n' bass track. "It's a true dance floor record that tows the line between the rave and the radio," said Hill. "To be working with the likes of Chase & Status, who I have dreamed of working with since I was a teenager, is a real moment for me."
  • "Disconnect" is Becky Hill's second foray into drum 'n' bass waters following her 2013 collaboration with Wilkinson, "Afterglow."
  • Hill wrote "Disconnect" alongside longtime collaborator Karen Poole (Hill's "Remember," "Side Effects") and drum 'n' bass artist Emily Makis. Chase & Status co-produced the song with Kieron McIntosh (Chase & Status' "All Goes Wrong," Barns Courtney's "Fire").
  • Hill debuted the song live at Creamfields South on May 26, 2023. She released it as a single on July 14, 2023.
  • Becky Hill released the Tiësto remix of "Disconnect" on August 4, 2023. The Dutch producer's overhaul trades in the moody atmospherics of the drum 'n' bass original for revved-up house beats that leap from the speakers.
  • Becky Hill dropped an orchestral acoustic version of "Disconnect" on September 10, 2023. She filmed the accompanying performance video at Hilton's Canopy, London City.
