Songfacts®:

  • On June 14, 2017, The Grenfell Tower block of public housing flats in London caught fire. The blaze caused an estimated 80 deaths and over 70 injuries. Here, Dave pays tribute to those who died in tragedy and challenges Prime Minister Theresa May's response.

    I've got a question for the new prime minister
    At Grenfell Tower, your response was ridiculous
    You hid like a coward behind your five million


    Upon the song's release, the South London-born rapper posted a message on Instagram. "I'm sorry it's taken me so long to speak on these issues but I want to say," he wrote. "We will never forget about Grenfell, we will never forget Rashan, we will never forget Edson. I feel like having a platform and a voice it's important to say that we all have questions for everyone in parliament and we need answers."
  • This won Best Contemporary Song at the 2018 Ivor Novello Awards.
