Ive been a big fan of the Lucozade adverts from when I was young, Ive always found them really iconic and eye grabbing.

It was a privilege to work with Travis and from the energy in the room I knew the track and ad were going to be a bit special." said Tinie in an interview on how the advert came together and working with Travis Barker.[http://www.gigwise.com/features/62298/Tinie-Tempah-Interview Tinie Tempah: Interview] by Holly Frith on April 4, 2011.
