Critical reception
Lewis Corner of 'Digital Spy' gave the song a mixed review stating:
"I wanna party 'til my last breath/ 'Til there ain't no air in my lungs left," Rascal declares over speaker-jolting drum 'n' bass beats before the chorus bursts into a disco-come-dubstep raveathon with more heart-palpitating energy than a can of Red Bull. Just like the fizzy beverage, it's a track that most will prefer when mixed with a boozy tipple whilst bopping along at a Balearic Island resort. .[http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/singlesreviews/a384650/dj-fresh-ft-dizzee-rascal-the-power-single-review.html DJ Fresh ft.
