Okay, because this song is featuring someone, it'll have to be split into two parts. First: N-Dubz. This group is from Camden town and is made up of three members. They all went by stage names, which should be obvious considering the stage names were Dappy, Tulisa and Fazer. The were active for eleven years before going on hiatus in 2011, and in that time period they released four albums and had eight top 40 hits. Originally they were call Little Rikers Crew, but wanted to change the name to Hakuna Matata. Well Disney copyright wouldn't let then, so they changed to No Worries...except another group had that name. So they changed to N.W....but kept getting confused with another group called NWA. So then they became NW1, and eventually N-Dubz. Their first album wasn't released until they were with their second label, and even then seven of the songs from it were released as singles first. This band really loved their singles. This song comes from their third studio album released through yet another new label, but this song was first released for the soundtrack for Street Dance, which is where I heard it.
On the flip side we have Bodyrox, the duo of Jon Pearn and Nick Bridges. They've been together since 2005, and have fans in the UK, Netherlands, Finland, Ireland, New Zealand and Australia. They earned most of their following from the tracks they collaborated on with Luciana (another British artist.) Their stuff has been used in both movies and video games. They wasn't a lot of information on the collab with N-Dubz...it seems more like both groups were contracted to do songs from the Street Dance movie and circumstances worked out that this song was the final product. Fun Fact: The vocals in the song are actually done by Luciana and Nick Clow, but these two group wrote and produced it. It's a pretty great song and was written perfectly to go with the movie, so you should check it out.
Peace.
