Venbee dreamed up "Messy in Heaven" quite literally: the British singer had a dream about Jesus partying on Chatham High Street, then turned it into a song about a friend's struggle with drugs. East Midlands producer Goddard rides along as the featured artist and co-producer with Matteo Cinti and Jacob Manson, and Venbee wrote it with Goddard, Cinti and Dan Fable. Sony released it as her second single, and it also sits on her album zero experience.
The drum-and-bass revival had a genuine hit on its hands: it went to No. 3 in the UK, No. 7 in New Zealand and No. 9 in Ireland, and the Guardian counted it among the key tunes of the genre's 2020s renaissance. Plenty of critics zeroed in on its attention-grabbing opening line.
