• This collaboration between ArrDee and Cat Burns tells the story of a troubled relationship. In his two verses, the Brighton rapper details the pressures of juggling his busy work schedule with his personal life. Likewise, Burns' chorus finds her reflecting on her partner's grievances about not spending enough time with her, acknowledging that her intense work schedule has left no home for her heart.
• With a soft acoustic arrangement, "Home For My Heart" is a departure from Ardee's usual style. He had been wanting to make this shift for some time, no longer focused on just churning out hits, but creating something that truly resonates with listeners.
  
  In an interview with Official Charts, ArrDee shared a conversation he had with a producer who believed that the ultimate measure of success was when a man includes one of the artist's songs in a mixtape for his girlfriend, as it holds a special meaning for him.
  
  "It's 100% a change in tempo and, like you said, a change in production, a change in style," Arrdee added. "But also... I keep saying change. I don't like to label it change. It's more like a dive, an exploration into the depths of my artistry and musicality."
• Arrdee's aim was to create music that does not fit squarely into the rap genre, with a sound that stands the test of time. He wanted to include a female hook, taking inspiration from some of his favorite Eminem songs, such as "Stan" (featuring Dido) and "Love the Way You Lie" (featuring Rihanna).
  
  The first time Ardee heard Cat Burns was the drum'n'bass remix of her hit single "Go." He explored more of her material and his mum fell in love with her music. When he and Burns got together, they soon chilled and started vibing.
  
  "We didn't really have a solid idea at first, we both wanted something we could both relate to," he said. "Cat came up with the melody... and then that was it, basically."
• Ardee and Burns wrote "Home For My Heart" with Jake Gosling, AoD and the rapper's go-to producers, WhYJay and LiTek.
  
  Jake Gosling has worked on hit songs by the likes of One Direction ("Little Things"), Ed Sheeran ("Thinking Out Loud"), Shawn Mendes ("Mercy") and KSI ("Holiday").
  
  AoD's other credits include three of Stormzy's Heavy Is The Head cuts and Tion Wayne's "I Dunno." He plays the guitar on this track.
• The Najeeb Tarazi-directed video sees ArrDee and Burns perform the song in several London neighborhoods.
  
  Lebanese-American director Najeeb Tarazi got his start in film as a technical director at Pixar, where he worked on films like Toy Story 3 and Monsters University. His other video credits include Gaz Coombes' "Walk The Walk" and X Ambassadors' "Hold You Down."
