Background and composition
The track was originally made back in 2007 when Professor Green was signed to The Beats. The song was composed and produced by Semothy Jones and, at the time, featured Neon Hitch on the chorus. Though when The Beats folded the track was put on hold.
In 2009, Professor Green stated that the collaboration between him and Allen started after a conversation on Facebook:
"We got chatting on Facebook and I mentioned the track, which turned out to be one of her favourite songs. She suggested her singing the chorus. I didn't take much persuading! Lily's wicked. She's straightforward and honest, you always know where you're at with her."[4]

Critical reception
Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave the song three out of five stars, stating "[Green's] rhymes aren't as ear-snagging as they were last time out, but Allen certainly does justice to that melody".[5]
Music video
