Songfacts®:

  • The first single from Tulisa's sophomore album, this song was produced by STL, the same team behind the singer's UK #1 hit "Young." The production duo was founded by Tulisa's former boyfriend and N-Dubz bandmate Richard Rawson.
  • The song was Tulisa's first single release since "Sight Of You" in 2012. She explained to Digital Spy why she decided to kick off her musical comeback with this tune. "It's a good starting point of the new sound that I'm going to come with, going down the whole dance-y, house route," said the former N Dubz singer. "And with the video as well, I could portray what I wanted to, image-wise."

    "The second I heard it, I'm obviously not a musician, but I just kind of knew," Tulisa added. "When I heard that song I was like, 'This is what I'm going with. This is everything that I want'. I always do the thing of playing a record over and over again in my car, and the trick is, if you don't get bored of the record by the tenth play, then you know it's a hit."
