Not Letting Go

Story of Song

Tinie Tempah spoke about the collaboration with Glynne to MTV, he said: “Tinie said: “I’ve been a fan of Jess since I heard her song ‘Home’. We met properly at the BRITs last year and spoke about doing something together. We both had crazy summers and kept bumping into each other at festivals. We eventually set a date for studio with Bless Beats who produced the track and it just kind of happened. Both being Londoners, I wanted to make a song that captured that London summertime feeling which is always the best time of the year for me and the time where I’ve had my most romantic experience. So it’s an ode to a girl I met and our experiences in this amazing city we call home, London!”
