"Colours" first turned up on Grouplove's self-titled 2010 EP, and it was strong enough to make the trip onto their debut album, Never Trust a Happy Song, where it became the first single in July 2011. Ryan Rabin produced it and the band wrote it together, and it sounds like a campfire singalong that somebody spiked, with lead singer Christian Zucconi hollering as if the night might never end.

It traveled, too. Foster the People put out a remix through RCRD LBL in 2011, and a Captain Cuts remix ended up on the FIFA 12 soundtrack.
