Songfacts®:

  • The second single from the English singer-songwriter Olly Murs' sophomore album In Case You Didn't Know finds him returning to an early '70s funk-pop sound. Murs first came to the public's attention, when he performed Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" in his first audition on the sixth series of X-Factor.
  • Murs co-wrote the song with English hitmaker Steve Robson ("Shine") and American songwriter Claude Kelly ("My Life Would Suck Without You"). The trio also wrote Murs's debut single "Please Don't Let Me Go."
  • The song's music video finds Olly in trouble with the law after throwing a street party for his girl. The clip was Marcus Lundin's UK directorial debut following his "monkey boy" promo for Adam Tensta's "Like A Punk" back home in his native Sweden.
