Craig David and MNEK have released their new collaboration Who You Are.
The pair have teamed up for the track, which is set to feature on the garage star’s forthcoming album 22.
Speaking about the single, which features lyrics about supporting someone to live authentically, the 7 Days hitmaker says: “I always feel like you need to be more real-time and present in the now.
“It will live in the world this song. It feels so authentic, it has intention. Put on ‘Who You Are’ to try and talk to someone that needs help.”
MNEK admitted it was a “bucket list” moment getting to work with Craig, adding: “I’ve worked with Craig many times over the past several years and have obviously looked up to him for FOREVER, one of my childhood heroes easily and such a pioneer for black men in R&B & dance music … So, now we have this collaboration Who You Are.
“I love this song more every time I listen to it, it’s so beautiful – and there’s just something about it. I wrote the hook, he wrote the verses, he really wanted me to stay on it with him and like… who’s actually gonna say no to Craig David?
“He’s the best ‘to do it’! This is absolutely a tick off the bucket list for me and I hope it touches the people who hear it.”
‘22′, due May 13, is available to pre-order on standard and deluxe CD.
