About this song
The track closes Emeli Sandé's debut album, Our Version of Events, and follows Professor Green's 2011 hit single "Read All About It". Sandé first performed it at the 2012 Summer Olympics closing ceremony from the backseat of a car, and reprised it later in the ceremony. Within twelve hours of that performance, the track peaked at number eleven on UK iTunes. It has been certified 2x Platinum in Switzerland, Platinum in the UK, and 3x Gold in Germany.
What it's about
The song carries a lingering message about speaking up for oneself. Sandé has said it is her own interpretation of what the song means to her, which she developed after hearing how personal the original was to Professor Green.
