Songfacts®:

  • The Manchester based DJ and producer Ben Pearce is the co-founder with Chris Farnworth of the record label/DJ agency Purp & Soul. This slinky, Deep House music tune was his debut single. It was released on March 26 2013 by Universal Music Group, under exclusive license from Under the Shade Records.
  • The song samples the bluesy vocals from the Anthony Hamilton song "Cornbread, Fish & Collard Greens." Pearce told Beatport the tune was a long time in the making, and he spent months tweaking it. "It's probably the longest I've ever spent on a track because I usually work very quickly," he said. "I'm glad I procrastinated because the end result has been worth it. The arrangement was pretty much always the same. I added the higher pad quite late on, and when I had the base of the track, my girlfriend suggested the vocal. I threw it over and it just worked."
