Here's everything you need to know about that bop, as well as Alicia's 24 other greatest hits:. Alicia didn't have to drive three hours to create this hit, but she did fly about 10 hours from Los Angeles to London. As she explains on Song Exploder , her youngest son was still a baby when she travelled across the pond to record this song with British artists Jimmy Napes and Sampha. Alicia and Sampha had never met before, but she thought they were kindred musical spirits. They quickly bonded, and though it wasn't originally planned, Sampha ended up adding his vocals to the track. It just had a whole other thing to it," Alicia says in Song Exploder.
