Live performances

On 24 May 2013, Dizzee Rascal surprised fans at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Ebrington Square, Derry, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland, by performing the song live with a special guest performance from Robbie Williams.[3]

Critical reception

Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave the song a mixed review stating:

"In short, the answer is an unfortunate yes. That's not to say the pair themselves aren't surprisingly well-matched – each craving the other's self-assurance and youthful charm – but musically, the effect is far less harmonious. While Rascal raps about dating models and scoring drugs in clubs, Williams admits: "I believe I'm going crazy/ I believe I'm losing my mind," the result a Frankensteinian blend of indie, grime and pop that never quite hits the spot." .[4]
