Background
The song uses vocal samples by Eric Thomas, whose vocals were also sampled on the songs "Intro" and "When a Fire Starts to Burn", which feature on the duo's debut studio album Settle. In a statement, Guy and Howard Lawrence said, "When we found Eric many years ago, he was like a goldmine of inspirational quotes and motivational speeches. Even if he was speaking to a room of five it was like he was addressing a stadium. He has an immense presence and energy about him that translates so well into music – especially house music. This time we cut up various speeches to make something that makes sense. What he says is basically the whole concept for the record, that's why it became the title track."[2]
