Calvin Harris · 2007
Recording

It was recorded and produced in Calvin Harris’s home setup, Calvinharrisbeats Studio in Dumfries, Scotland, using an Amiga computer and OctaMED. Calvin Harris is credited as the producer. It was Calvin Harris’s debut single and his first UK chart entry, turning his early bedroom-produced sound into a Top 10 hit. The single peaked at number 10 on the UK Singles Chart and helped establish his debut album era. The track remains one of Harris’s signature early records and has been referenced, sampled, and covered by later acts, including Duran Duran and the Northern Boys. Its chorus and hook have kept it circulating well beyond its original release.
