Written by the singer herself along with Vince Kidd and Jonny Parry, the lyrical sentiment of the song is said to be centred around a “sexually-confident woman” who is unabashed and unafraid to test her suitor’s stamina on and off the dance floor.

Speaking to HUNGER about this next chapter in her already groundbreaking career, the singer said: “My music has always been driven by club culture. You can hear bits of house and drum ‘n’ bass across my catalogue – I love dance music. There are more tracks to come from the EP, I’m so excited to finally get them out there!”
