It was released on 17 January 2014 as the fourth single from the group's debut studio album, New Eyes (2014).{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a548576/clean-bandit-announce-debut-album-new-eyes.html|title=Clean Bandit announce debut album New Eyes|last=Copsey|first=Robert|date=3 February 2014|publisher=Digital Spy|access-date=3 February 2014|archive-date=24 September 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924160536/http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a548576/clean-bandit-announce-debut-album-new-eyes.html|url-status=live}} It also appears on the deluxe version of Glynne's debut album, I Cry When I Laugh (2015). It was co-written by band members Jack Patterson and Grace Chatto, along with Jimmy Napes and Nicole Marshall, and produced by Patterson and Chatto.

The song debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart and was the third fastest-selling single of 2014, and the highest-selling January single since "Spaceman" by Babylon Zoo in 1996.{{cite web|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/will.i.am-and-miley-cyrus-neck-and-neck-with-clean-bandit-in-singles-race-2760|title=will.i.am and Miley Cyrus neck-and-neck with Clean Bandit in singles race|work=officialcharts.com|access-date=31 January 2015|archive-date=12 March 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140312054446/http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/will.i.am-and-miley-cyrus-neck-and-neck-with-clean-bandit-in-singles-race-2760|url-status=live}} The song spent four weeks at number one, selling over one million copies since release and becoming only the seventh single to go 3× platinum.

It won the Best Dance Recording category at the 2015 Grammy Awards in the United States.{{cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/zackomalleygreenburg/2014/12/05/grammy-nominees-2015-the-full-list/2/|title=Grammy Nominees 2015: The Full List|work=Forbes|access-date=13 December 2014|archive-date=29 December 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141229093222/http://www.forbes.com/sites/zackomalleygreenburg/2014/12/05/grammy-nominees-2015-the-full-list/2/|url-status=live |last1=Greenburg |first1=Zack O'Malley }}

"Rather Be" received its first play on 4 December 2013, when it featured as BBC Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe's Hottest Record in the World.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01mvd44|title=Hottest Record: Clean Bandit - Rather Be|publisher=BBC|date=4 December 2013|access-date=22 December 2013|archive-date=11 December 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131211151711/http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01mvd44|url-status=live}} The song's digital release date was originally planned to be 19 January 2014, but was moved to 17 January. The single was issued by Warner Music, and is the third to be taken from Clean Bandit's debut studio album. Warner Music Group also released a number of official remixes released for download, with DJs such as All About She and Cash Cash.{{better source needed|currently offers no support|date=July 2018}}

The song was met with critical acclaim in the music press, with both positive reviews from contactmusic and Digital Spy, who commented, "Co-penned with Disclosure hitmaker Jimmy Napes, 'Rather Be' blends classical-inspired violin with uplifting house beats and a vocal that sounds suspiciously like Natasha Bedingfield. The result is an infectious sound that feels fresh and exciting.". The song was placed at number four on Billboard{{'}}s 10 Best Songs of 2014 list.{{cite magazine|title=The 10 Best Songs of 2014|magazine=Billboard|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/events/year-in-music-2014/6405564/10-best-songs-of-2014?facebook_20141211|date=11 December 2014|access-date=11 December 2014|archive-date=12 January 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150112075748/http://www.billboard.com/articles/events/year-in-music-2014/6405564/10-best-songs-of-2014?facebook_20141211|url-status=live}} In December 2014, the song received a nomination for Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording, which it would go on to win in early 2015.

Music video

The music video was directed by the group and was uploaded to YouTube on 5 December 2013. It has since received more than 712 million views.{{YouTube|id=m-M1AtrxztU|title="Rather Be"}} The video was filmed in Tokyo, Japan and features Haruka Abe as a Japanese fan. During the video, Abe lip-syncs to Jess Glynne's vocals.{{cite web|title=Clean Bandit website|url=http://cleanbandit.co.uk/news/|access-date=18 January 2014|archive-date=11 December 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191211093439/http://www.cleanbandit.co.uk/news/|url-status=dead}} Glynne herself also appears in the video. The band comments:

"The video is about a Japanese fan of the band who becomes delirious and has hallucinations of band members and our logo appearing unexpectedly in her daily life as a chef. Filming in Tokyo was an amazing experience: we spent almost a week there and everyone was so helpful. We made it ourselves as always, which was quite scary as we've never produced anything so far away before. We had a bit of trouble filming the scene on the train though. Turns out it's considered incredibly rude to make noise on a train so when we started dancing around to the track in the carriage with the extras, it didn't go down well! Got shouted at."[http://wjlondon.com/track-week-clean-bandit-ft-jess-glyne-rather/ Track Of The Week: Clean Bandit ft.
