Songfacts®:

  • This song finds Rudimental stepping back in the lab as they team up with drum and bass don Skepsis, British singer-songwriter Charlotte Plank and London-based MC Riko Dan. They released "Green & Gold" as a single on February 23, 2024.
  • "Green & Gold" is a full-throttle drum and bass assault, the bassline a pulsating beast that burrows straight into your chest. Plank urges the listener to cast off the shackles of the week and surrender to the pulsating energy of the dancefloor. Riko Dan, true to his grime roots, drops a confident verse that reflects the energetic nature of the environment.
  • This isn't the first time Rudimental and Plank have joined forces. Their 2023 smash "Dancing Is Healing" reached the UK Top 5. However, "Green & Gold" marks their debut collaborations with both Skepsis and Riko Dan. According to Rudimental, the grime veteran "walked in and laid down his verse in one take."
