Songfacts®:

This was released as the first single from British electronic musician Sub Focus' second studio album Torus. It was made available on December 14, 2011, as a free digital download through RAM Records and Mercury Records. The track was re-released half a year later as an EP alongside remixes from Nick Thayer, xKore and Sub Focus himself.
The song features soulful vocals from Boston-born and London-raised singer-songwriter Kenzie May.
Sub Focus told the story of the song to MusicRadar.com: "This tune began with the synth chords in the breakdown. This was originally something that I wrote for the track that I did with Chase & Status on their last album called 'Flashing Lights.' I really loved the part, but we decided that it didn't fit, so it was left over. This tune stemmed from there."

No More DramaMary J. Blige

The Mary J. Blige song "No More Drama" samples the theme to the appropriately dramatic soap opera The Young And The Restless.

TimberPitbull

Rihanna was Pitbull's first choice to sing on "Timber," but she wasn't available at the time so he enlisted his RCA labelmate Kesha instead.

Uncle John's BandGrateful Dead

There's a lot of Americana in "Uncle John's Band" by the Grateful Dead, including references to "Buckdancer's Choice" (an Appalachian folk song) and "Fire And Ice," a Robert Frost poem.

Everything ZenBush

References to David Bowie, Tom Waits and Allan Ginsburg are peppered into the Bush song "Everything Zen."

Where Did Our Love GoThe Supremes

The Motown team of Holland-Dozier-Holland wrote "Where Did Our Love Go" with The Marvelettes in mind, but they turned it down. When The Supremes recorded the tune, Diana Ross was forced to sing in a lower, breathier style than she was used to because it wasn't written for her.

RoyalsLorde

16-tear-old Lorde wrote the lyrics to "Royals" at home in just half an hour. She was inspired by the "ridiculous, unrelatable, unattainable opulence" that runs through such albums as Kanye West and Jay-Z's Watch the Throne and Lana Del Rey's Born To Die.
