Background

In an interview with American magazine Rolling Stone, Tempah talked about Wiz Khalifa's contribution to the song: "I feel like we're in the same kind of situation, but in reverse. He's really huge out here now and I have a lot of presence in the Europe and U.K., and vice versa, so if there was ever a time to collaborate, now would be the time."^[3] Tempah performed the song live at The Box in New York City on 23 May 2011. He also performed the song on the Late Show with David Letterman in the same week.^[4] The video for the song was released on YouTube on 30 June 2011 and serves both the British and American markets.^[5]

The video was filmed in the Hollywood Hills Area and Downtown Los Angeles.
