Gaz, 28, said: “Most of my songs are social commentary and a reflection on society.

"The inspiration behind this song is more of an up and at them tune. It is about mob mentality and the air of invincibility when out with friends.

"I’m really excited to get the song out there. The lyrics are very honest and blunt, but it has still got everything that makes a Gaz Price tune.”
