Wow nobody said anything about this track yet? I freaking love it. I never expected electronic and Arabic elements to go along so well. Malika's voice is flawless, even though I can't tell what she's saying. Amy's back vocals are a nice fit and they together made an amazing masterpiece. Amy, those instrumentals just slay me.

This is my current favourite song from Aftermath, even more so than Lockdown and Push the Button. I agree the electronica and Arabic elements go together absolutely brilliantly. It's such a wonderfully chaotic song

I love this song, possibly my second after Lockdown. Parts of it reminds me of Tsubasa Chronicles
Amy should collaborate with Malika again in the future..this time for a song "song".

I agree, Amy's background vocals make this song even better. I love Malika's vocals in this song.

When Amy first mentioned this song and that arabic elements, I immediately thought of New Way to Bleed. But I was wrong. Lol. This song is even better.

This song actually reminds me of MIA more than anything else. Also I feel like I don't like Amy's vocals. As someone who grew up listening to Middle Eastern music I feel like she is appropriating the sound here.It makes the song sound so busy.

Does Amy actually sing those lyrics in the song? If not, I will be devastated. Those lyrics are perfection

The singer is Malika, who is actually an Arabic singer (specifically Moroccan Arabic singer).

Don't mean to sound negative, but I love the song and I'm impressed she built the song from some sampled vocals and instruments.

Literally speechless... This is unlike anything I would've ever expected and I love it SO much. I knew Amy had stuff like this in her, but I didn't know it would be THIS amazing.
