Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Willing & Able. By Songfacts®.

This five-minute-long R&B jam features the deep voice and sultry lyrics of Kwabs. The British singer is best known for his European hit single "Walk." "It's for people to dance to with their boyfriend or girlfriend," Disclosure's Howard Lawrence told MTV News.

The Lawrence brothers pushed Kwabs to the maximum on the song's chorus. Howard Lawrence told Spin: "He was really uncomfortable at some of it. He was like, 'I really don't want to sing this high,' and we were like, 'DO IT.'" Guy Lawrence added: "I think if you're only doing one song with someone, you try and give it everything. With Kwabs it was such a chill vibe, but it just needed that life in the chorus, and he does keep himself around that range of the baritone voice, but he can belt it. When he does you get this really nice, raspy sound coming out."

Asked by HMV.com how the collaboration came about, Kwabs replied: "I didn't know them personally, I met them for the first time in the studio, management reached out and asked if I wanted to write with them. I went to the studio with them and I loved it, I'm so proud of the song."
