Background
"Two Way" was written in 2016, in L.A. with 2016 Grammy Awards nominee James Bay. Bay and Tunstall met during Jools Holland's Hootenanny. Tunstall had read in an interview that he was a fan of hers, so she chatted with him, and they decided to record a duet. Tunstall says in an interview with the UK newspaper Evening Standard that Bay is "one of the most talented new songwriters", and added "it was fantastic to work with him.”[1]
