George Ezra wrote "Blame It on Me" at 18, newly moved to Bristol, weighed down by student loans and suddenly surrounded by chances to play; as he told InStyle, if he didn't get busy he'd have only himself to blame. Joel Pott shares the writing credit. Columbia released it as a download on 11 August 2014, the fourth single from his debut album, Wanted on Voyage, and it went straight in at number 6 in the UK.
Cam Blackwood produced it and plays guitar, keyboards and bass synth beside Ezra's own guitar and keys, with Matthew Racher on drums and percussion and Cenzo Townshend mixing. The lyric video had Ezra perched over a dunk tank with an old TV set, tennis balls flying at the target until one finally drops him in the water.
