Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Civilization. By Songfacts®.

This is the first single from the French electronic duo Justice's sophomore album. It was released on Ed Banger/Because Records on April 4, 2011.

The song featured as the soundtrack to an Adidas advertising campaign spearheaded by French director Romain Gavras (M.I.A.'s "Born Free" video), with whom Justice has worked in the past. The ad featured various sports stars, including soccer player David Beckham and Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls. B.o.B and Katy Perry, who have appeared in past Adidas commercials, also made brief cameos.

The song features vocals from Ali Love (real name Alexander Williams), who is a British singer. Williams' first claim to fame was providing vocals for The Chemical Brothers' 2007 hit, "Do It Again." Justice's Xavier De Rosnay told NME they weren't aware of Love's contribution to the Chemical Brothers track. "It's funny, we didn't know he was the guy singing on the track until he told us," he said. "We discovered him when we listened to the demo of his album, Love Harder, and we hadn't made the connection."
