Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring soaring lead vocals from Jess Glynne, this track brilliantly fused classical string arrangements with contemporary deep house and tropical dance-pop. The song became a monumental commercial hit, topping the UK Singles Chart for four weeks and winning the Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording. Its infectious, joyful melody helped pioneer the massive classical-electronic crossover trend of the mid-2010s.
