Songfacts®:

  • On "Ten," Fred Again teams up with Memphis-born singer-songwriter Jozzy, who's got some impressive credentials. She's been mentored by Timbaland and Missy Elliott, was Diddy's Love Records' first signing, and co-wrote Billy Ray Cyrus' remix of Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road." Jozzy's songwriting skills also shine on tracks like Internet Money's "Lemonade," Beyonce's "Virgo's Groove," and SZA's "Low."
  • The track itself is a smooth, laid-back jam, hitting you right in the feels. Jozzy's been away in a foreign land, missing her special someone for 10 long days. The easy-going beat and production give it a sunny vibe, hinting at the impending reunion.
  • That's South London rapper/producer Jim Legxacy on the refrain. His most notable other credit is co-producing Drake and Central Cee's "Sprinter."
  • Fred Again, Jozzy and Jim Legxacy wrote the song about missing home.

    "Jozzy and Jim are both f---in g's and great friends from different sides of the world which I kinda love because it feels like one voice is coming from LA and another from London," Fred Again said.

    "But yeh for real I wanna thank them for making this song with me and also just for being my mates," he added. "Cos I guess that's the thing that makes being away from home better? It's always the people innit."
  • Fred Again released "Ten" on October 13, 2023, through Warner Music UK and Atlantic. He chose it as the follow-up single to "Adore U" because Timbaland told him it's "got the Timbo bounce."
