• KSI is entangled in a raw, messy romance that's as alluring as it is damaging. The love he portrays in "Dirty" is so turbulent it leaves emotional scars, yet it's impossible to resist.
  
  "I wanted 'Dirty' to capture that raw, messy emotion of being in a relationship that's as intoxicating as it is destructive," KSI explained. "It's about that push and pull - the chaos you feel when you can't let go, even though you know it's breaking you."
• Here's where it gets fascinating. The song features an uncredited Billie Eilish, whose spectral vocals add a haunting quality to the track. While the secret was kept under wraps until the song's December 2024 release, Finneas, Billie's brother and frequent collaborator, revealed that the duet had been planned well in advance. "It was Billie's idea," Finneas shared, adding, "we've always thought uncredited features were cool aesthetically."
• KSI wrote the song with:
  
  His regular collaborator Digital Farm Animals ("Don't Play," "Patience" and "Holiday").
  
  London-based singer-songwriter Andrew Jackson. His resumé includes Sean Paul's "No Lie" and Shawn Mendes' "Summer of Love."
  
  Slovakian artist Peikko.
  
  The track's producer, Matt Zara. He's co-penned several of Teddy Swims' songs, including " Bad Dreams."
• Matt Zara crafted a gritty, brooding, and hauntingly evocative soundscape that mirrors the narrative - a whirlwind of chaos and irresistible desire.
• "Dirty" doesn't seem to be tied to a specific relationship from KSI's life. It reads more as an exploration of the universal complexity of love, where attraction and self-destruction intertwine. "I love creating music that sparks conversation and connects with people on a surface or deeper level," KSI said. ""Dirty' definitely does exactly that."
