Songfacts®:

• James Blake is a British electronic composer who was raised in an "arty" family in Enfield, North London. He creates imaginative electronic urban music by spicing R&B Hip-Hop samples with his keyboard playing. This song, the first single from his debut self-titled album, was recorded and produced from the bedroom of his London flat.
• The song is a soulful cover of Feist and Chilly Gonzales's ballad of the same title, which was originally released on Feist's 2007 album The Reminder.
• Blake told The Daily Telegraph: "It's a physical track, with the sub at a frequency that rattles you. I made it to be devastating in a club, on a huge sound system. You get a completely different experience if you listen to it on any other medium. But that's great. If all the elements are in place, you should get 80% of what a song has to offer no matter how you hear it, whether on headphones or on the radio."
• Q magazine asked Feist if she'd spoken to James Blake about his cover. She replied: "I tried to send a message giving him maximum respect for how he reinvented it to make it his own. I haven't heard back yet but I don't take it personally because I'm sure there's like 50 middle men between he and I."
