Chase & Status and Stormzy had been road-testing "Backbone" for months before EMI Records put it out on 8 August 2024. The British electronic duo first unveiled it during their Coachella set that April, ran it out again at Ushuaïa in Ibiza in June and kept teasing it through a string of summer festival dates, so the song arrived with a running start.
Somehow it was the first time the two acts had shared a record, and the fit is obvious: the duo's high-octane beats lay down a runway, and Stormzy takes it with the commanding presence of someone who knows the room is his. Chase & Status said they had always wanted to pull his energy into their world. It went in at number one on the UK Singles Chart and made the top 10 in New Zealand.
