Background
Labrinth first revealed the radio-edit of "Earthquake" on his official YouTube channel, on 16 September 2011.[1] Remixes by Benny Benassi, Noisia, Eyes, Gareth Wyn and Street Policy were uploaded to Labrinth's SoundCloud account on the same day. Labrinth explained the song's meaning to MTV UK: "For me, the track is about making an earthquake and having people look my way because of how much noise I'm making. Sometimes, the one that shouts the loudest is the one that gets heard so, earthquake is shouting as high as it can." Both the royal trumpets and the operatic monk chorus part were last minute additions to the record. Labrinth inserted the bridge after a friend dared him to put it in.[2]
The full explicit version of "Earthquake" was uploaded to Labrinth's SoundCloud account on 23 September 2011.[3]
Labrinth and Tinie Tempah performed an acoustic version of "Earthquake" with an orchestra and choir in BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge on 20 October 2011.[4]
On 1 January 2012, "Earthquake" was used for the New Year's Eve in London celebrations, during the fireworks display at the London Eye.[5]
The "All-Stars" remix featuring rappers Kano, Wretch 32 and Busta Rhymes and new verses by Labrinth and Tinie Tempah was included on the bonus edition of his debut album. The official remix with only the Busta Rhymes verse was also released as a single in the US through iTunes on 21 February 2012[6][7] and was included on Now That's What I Call Music! 42 as a "Now What's Next" bonus track.
The song is in the key of C minor.
