The song marks Keane's collaboration with Somali-Canadian rapper, K'naan.[2] The single was released on 5 April 2010 in the United Kingdom and on 11 April 2010 in the United States.[3] The song is featured on the soundtrack of Pro Evolution Soccer 2011.[4]
Music video
The video begins with shots of a London streetscape (looks to be in the Aldgate or Whitechapel area of London),[1] before entering an upscale pub. Keane frontman Tom Chaplin and K'naan are shown singing in the bar while surrounded by patrons enjoying their night, a contrast to some of the song's lyrics.[1]
