A remixed dancehall version of the song, to which additional vocals from British-Ghanaian Afrobeats artist Fuse ODG were added, was included on a re-released version of Peace Is the Mission and released as the album's third single overall on November 5, 2015.[1]

The song attained international success in Europe and Oceania. It also marks Nyla's and ODG's highest-charting single to date. On the Billboard Hot 100 the song debuted at 98 and has peaked at number 73, marking Nyla's and ODG's first entry on the chart.

Music video

Method Studios design team created the film that opened the 2016 AICP Show, developing the concept of a character that embodied creativity; dancing avatars created with procedural art. Artists developed 50 texture effects and custom algorithms to execute them and a CG environment with lighting and camera setups and textures. The film was then re-cut to a new track, Major Lazer's “Light it Up” and posted online, where it garnered 100M+ views, drove downloads of the song and views for the artists, and went on to be recognized with awards, significant media coverage and re-posting worldwide.[3]
