As producer Rick Rubin was given an exclusive first listen of the album, Stormzy said of one of the tracks: “This song is really melodic, soulful and vulnerable, and I never really knew if it was the intro.

“It’s a song about my ex-girlfriend and, at the time I made it, she was the most pressing matter in my heart. As soon as I went to touch the mic, this was what came out of me.”

Song ‘Fire + Water’ also apparently sees the star rapping about ‘memories of a relationship’ and ‘the regrets’ according to the magazine’s reporter.
