Songfacts®:

  • Here, Nathan Dawe teams up with fellow Midlander Bru-C for this dance-rap hybrid. Drawing from his experience in UK rap, grime, and bassline, Bru-C delivers dynamic verses where he flexes about his fashion sense and flows.
  • Up-and-coming talent bshp also contributes vocals about a girl who desires a "rude boy," not someone who is polite.
  • Singer-songwriter Issey Cross croons the chorus, where she expresses her longing for her love interest, warning him of potential competition. She'll be into him if he has what she desires. Cross also provided the vocals for Wilkinson's 2022 drum and bass hit "Used To This."
  • Nathan Dawe samples the "Oh Baby" lyric from Julio Bashmore's 2012 house classic "Au Seve."
