Re-Rewind (The Crowd Say Bo Selecta)

The melody in the verses was lifted from an older Craig David demo called "Last Night", which was re-recorded for his debut studio album, Born to Do It. A slightly different version of the song, simply titled "Rewind", was featured on Born to Do It and was credited solely to David. "Re-Rewind" is notable for being the first record signed by influential label Relentless Records and as such the first one to establish the imprint as a pioneering force within mainstream music.{{cite web|url=http://www.hitquarters.com/index.php3?page=intrview/opar/intrview_ShabsJobanputra.html|title=Interview With Shabs Jobanputra|publisher=HitQuarters|date=13 November 2005|access-date=22 June 2010}}

In February 2016, David revealed that, after the recording session, the song was nearly lost forever: "We finished the song and dubbed it onto a little TDK D90 cassette to go and play it in the car," he says. "It sounded good but there was a couple of little tweaks we wanted to do – and literally as [producer Mark Hill] turned the computer on, all we saw was this 'error, file number' message. The only way to get rid of it was to press OK. So we pressed OK, and it kept coming up with new error numbers. So we'd press OK, press OK, press OK. But when we looked at the session, all that we saw was the hi-hats. I was like, 'are you actually for real?' So that plastic TDK tape became gold dust. We had the whole song on there, and we had to use the recording as our reference, playing it very carefully so it didn't get chewed up, and trying to remember all the things we did. And that was 'Re-Rewind'."{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-35483863|title=Born to redo it: Craig David on his 'crazy' career revival|last=Savage|first=Mark|date=4 February 2016|work=BBC News|publisher=BBC Online|access-date=4 February 2016}}
