Jake Edwin Kennedy is an English singer songwriter who records under the name of Jake Bugg. He grew up in the Clifton area of Nottingham and started playing guitar at the age of 12. Five years later, Bugg was signed by Mercury Records after being chosen by the BBC to appear on their "Introducing" stage at the 2011 Glastonbury Festival. This song finds him singing of scheming and growing up on the streets of Clifton.
Bugg's eponymous debut album has a vintage sound to it. He told The Sun that it was his original demo version that was used. "It was recorded as a demo," Bugg explained. " I wanted to go back in to the studio and perfect it. But the label were like, 'This demo sounds great so let's put it out like this.' I trusted the label and I was really happy with it in the end."
This song was Bugg's first to enter the UK top 75 singles chart.
