About this song
"Rather Be" is the fourth single from Clean Bandit's album New Eyes, written by the band together with songwriter Jimmy Napes. The band chose Jess Glynne for the vocals after Grace Chatto heard her on "My Love" and felt her voice suited the song. The track debuted at number one on the UK charts and was the highest and fastest selling single of January 2014.
