Songfacts®:

  • "Catch Me If You Can" is KSI in full swagger mode. Released on May 30, 2025, this turbocharged track finds the British rapper, boxer, entrepreneur, and YouTube philosopher essentially daring the rest of the world to keep up with him... and gently mocking them when they can't.
  • The title says it all, really. It's not so much a song as it is a statement of velocity. "This track is all about leveling up, proving yourself, and staying ahead of the game," KSI explained. "'Catch Me If You Can' is my way of showing that I'm always pushing forward, whether it's in music, boxing, or life."
  • The lyric that gets the biggest grin from KSI?

    Go and ask your mum, yeah, she know who I am

    "It's such a ridiculous line, but it's factual," he told Official Charts. "Because of Britain's Got Talent and everything I've done, mums know me now. So I think it's kind of a cool thing to say."
  • KSI co-wrote the song alongside a battalion of collaborators: Billy Crabtree, Joseph Baxter, Michael Djan Jr., Ryan Ogren, Gian Stone, KBeazy, and Peter Fenn. Ryan Ogren, Gian Stone, KBeazy, and Peter Fenn also produced the track.

    Fun fact: KBeazy made music history in 2020 as the youngest producer to land a US Hot 100 #1 when 24kGoldn's "Mood" hit that mark. He was 19 at the time.
  • The original plan was for "Catch Me If You Can" to serve as KSI's ring walk song for his scheduled boxing match with Dillon Danis in March 2025. But KSI fell ill, the match was scrapped, and the song release was postponed.
  • Directed by longtime collaborator Troy Roscoe, the music video is a burst of VFX trickery, inside jokes, and KSI's brand universe expanding ever outward. It features high-octane chase sequences, nods to his famously large forehead (a fan-favorite meme), and not-so-subtle plugs for Prime (his energy drink) and Lunchly (his convenience snack empire).
