"Heart Skipped a Beat" comes from xx, the debut the xx released through Young Turks on 14 August 2009, the only album they made as a four-piece. Romy Madley Croft and Oliver Sim wrote the words, and the music is credited to all four: Croft, Sim, Baria Qureshi and Jamie xx. Croft plays guitar, Sim bass and Qureshi keyboards, all three sing, and Jamie xx produced it and runs the drum machine.
The album was made in London between December 2008 and February 2009 at the label's own studio, and Jamie xx mixed it with engineer Rodaidh McDonald, chasing the close, bare feel of the band's first demos. It sounds like a conversation held at 3 a.m. with the lights off. Qureshi was let go soon after the album came out, and the record went on to win the Mercury Prize in 2010.
