The Guardian [3]

Ben Beaumont-Thomas of The Guardian called it the "song of the summer" and wrote, "this ode to the joy of dancing shows how masterful each MC is at moving with a beat". Beaumont-Thomas also felt that the " Afrobeats rhythm by producer P2J is nimble and fleet of foot", characterising the song as being "about the very pleasure of dancing, in particular dancing close to someone hot". [3] Eric Brain of Hypebeast felt that the "track pulls heavily from J Hus' afroswing sounds, something the Stratford, London-born-and-bred rapper has pioneered". [1] Tomás Mier also described the track as a "sweet summery Afroswing bop". [2]

Commercial performance

The song debuted at number two in the UK Singles Chart on 16 June 2023, becoming J Hus's highest-charting single to date. It was kept off the top spot by Dave and Central Cee's " Sprinter". [9] However it reached number one on the UK Afrobeats Singles Chart
