Songfacts®:

• Dizzee recorded this song specifically for the London 2012 Olympics, one of five official tracks that soundtracked the Games. The British rapper had previously performed the track a handful of times since debuting it in full at the 2011 V Festival.
• Rascal recorded this song with his protégée Pepper. The rapper originally signed Katie Pepper to his Dirtee Skank record label after he found the Manchester songstress on Sky1's Must Be The Music, where he served as a judge. Katie had teamed up with her college friend, pianist Emma Alkazraji, as the duo Pepper and Piano for the Sky singing talent show. The program was the UK's first talent TV show to make its music available for download immediately and the duo's original song, "You Took My Heart," landed at #7 on the UK singles chart.
• This wasn't Dizzee Rascal's first recording that tied in with a sporting event. His chart-topping collaboration with James Corden, "Shout For England," was recorded for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
