Songfacts®:

  • This song features vocals from American R&B recording artist Charlie Wilson (formerly lead singer for The Gap Band). "Being around this amazing human you would never be able to guess the struggles he has had to overcome, he is such a humble and dedicated genius," Newman said of working with Wilson. "It was honestly a mind-blowing pleasure working with such a legend (and now good friend)."
  • John Newman told The Sun: "Working with Charlie started when I was on Jools Holland's Hootenanny show with him. I thought he was so talented and he inspired me growing up. He's a genuine person and a joy to be around. To work with him was mind-blowing."
