Matt: This is the first collaboration with another artist we've ever done, we wrote it with Mr. Benji Webb who used to be the vocalist for Dub War and was also with Skindred. We've known the guy for years; he's a Newport lad. I was in the studio doing vocals and I was just pretty much struggling, and Benjie was just hanging around in the studio, just chilling, having a laugh. So, I gave him the instrumental version of the song and said, if you don't mind, see what you come up with vocally.

When we came in the next morning, Benjie was still in the studio, he hadn't been to bed, he was just up all night buzzing on the track. It just got us sharing the vocal duties, really. He's an amazing, amazing songwriter, front man and vocalist.
