"Kickstarts" was the third single from Won't Go Quietly, the second album by Example, the London singer born Elliot Gleave, arriving as a download on 13 June 2010 and in the shops a day later on Data Records. He wrote it with the British drum and bass producer Sub Focus, who produced it alongside the Scottish DJ Calvin Harris.
Following up the breakthrough of the "Won't Go Quietly" single earlier that year, Example said he was gunning for serious radio play, and he credited Sub Focus with giving a lyrically poppy single a hardcore club edge. Digital Spy's Robert Copsey agreed, praising the club-ready beats and squiggly synth riff wrapped around its lovestruck lines.
