Songfacts®:

  • This romantic House track features the voice of Laura Welsh. The Staffordshire native debuted in 2010 as Laura and the Tears, then as Hey Laura, finally releasing her recordings as Laura Welsh.

    Before teaming up with Gorgon City, Welsh had already released several solo singles, collaborating with high-profile songwriters and producers like Dev Hynes ("Unravel") and Emile Haynie ("Undiscovered"). She had also supported Ellie Goudling and London Grammar on live dates.
  • Welsh recorded her contribution in December 2013. "I went over to their studio just to write with them," she recalled to Digital Spy. "We just did one song together. We vocalled the song on that day as we were writing it. I really didn't think any more of it, and then they came back and said they wanted it to be a single."
  • Gorgon City told Q magazine about this collaboration with Laura Welsh: "We had wanted to work with Laura for a while, she's got an amazing rich vocal quality with her own unique style and not necessarily someone you'd associate with a dance record. Although it sounds like a fairly chilled track, it's one of our biggest tunes to play in our DJ sets."
