"Satellite Business 2.0" is a song by the British musicians Sampha and Little Simz, which was released on 16 July 2024 as the first single from the deluxe edition of Sampha's Lahai album. It is a reworking of the Lahai track "Satellite Business", and was first performed with Little Simz at Sampha's sold-out Alexandra Palace shows last year.
Speaking about the collaboration with Simz, Sampha said "Satellite Business was one of the last tracks to be recorded for Lahai and I'd always imagined a guest verse to expand on it. Simz's music has been close to my heart and ears for sometime now which makes her being on this song that more special. She’s one of my favourite artists."{{cite web |last=Campbell |first=Joel |date=17 July 2024 |title=Simz adds a flourish to 'Satellite Business' |url=https://www.voice-online.co.uk/entertainment/2024/07/17/simz-adds-a-flourish-to-satellite-business/ |access-date=23 July 2024 |website=The Voice (British newspaper)}}
Little Simz added that she was "so honoured to be a part of this record with Sampha", labeling him "one of the most important voices in music today". She added: "We have great musical chemistry and respect of each other;s process. Glad I got to stand alongside him on this."{{cite magazine |last=Reilly |first=Nick |date=19 July 2024 |title=Sampha teams up with Little Simz on 'Satellite Business' |url=https://www.rollingstone.co.uk/music/news/sampha-teams-up-with-little-simz-on-satellite-business-41658/ |access-date=23 July 2024 |magazine=Rolling Stone}}
