"Put Your Records On" came off Corinne Bailey Rae's self-titled 2006 debut as the English singer's second single at home in February 2006, and it was the first thing North America heard from the album. She wrote it with John Beck and Steve Chrisanthou, and Chrisanthou produced and recorded it, with Jimmy Hogarth adding extra production.
It sounds like a lazy afternoon, warm and unhurried, with Bailey Rae on acoustic guitar and percussion, Joe Tatton on Hammond organ, and a little horn section of Jim Corry and Jason Rae on saxophones and Malcolm Strachan on trumpet. It went to number two on the UK singles chart, topped the UK R&B chart, became her signature tune and picked up Grammy nominations for Record of the Year and Song of the Year in 2007.
