Dave and Central Cee dropped "Sprinter" on 1 June 2023 through Neighbourhood and Live Yours, and four days later it landed on their joint EP, Split Decision. The beat is guitar-led drill kept low and subtle, with a Latin lilt running underneath.
It entered the UK Singles Chart at number one, Dave's third chart-topper and Central Cee's first, and stayed there for 10 weeks, longer than any rap song before it in Britain. It also went to number one in Australia, Ireland, Luxembourg, New Zealand and Switzerland, finished 2023 as the most-streamed song on Spotify in the UK, and by April 2024 had become the most-streamed UK rap song ever. The Ivor Novello Awards followed that May, handing it the PRS for Music Most Performed Work prize.
