Hidden Agenda (Craig David song)

"Hidden Agenda" is a song recorded by English singer Craig David. It was released on 20 January 2003 as the second single from his second studio album Slicker Than Your Average (2002). The song became his eighth top ten hit in the United Kingdom (including his Artful Dodger collaborations), peaking at number ten and spending six weeks inside the UK top 75. After the change in sound between his debut album Born to Do It and "What's Your Flava?", the lead single from Slicker Than Your Average, "Hidden Agenda" returned David to the sound for which he was known for in his worldwide hits such as "7 Days" and "Walking Away" and re-united him with Artful Dodger record producer Mark Hill. The instrumental part of the song was compared to that of O-Town's We Fit Together.
