Rudimental pulled "Free" from their debut album Home as single number six, and it hit British shops on 18 November 2013 through Asylum, with Emeli Sandé out front on vocals. The drum and bass crew wrote it with her, the credit shared between Piers Aggett, Amir Amor, Kesi Dryden and Sandé, and it slotted in between "Right Here" and "Powerless" in the band's run of singles. A second version brought in the American rapper Nas, and that one found a home in the video game WWE 2K15.
The video skipped the digital trickery altogether. Director Stu Thomson filmed the wingsuit flier Jokke Sommer knifing through the air around the Eiger in the Alps, every stunt real and no post-production needed, and it went up on YouTube on 24 October 2013, weeks before the single.
