This is Tinchy Stryder's first top five single since 2009.
Critical reception
Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song three stars out of five, stating that Stryder "and the Grime music trio's frontman/serial "Dappy hat's" offender Dappy split rhymes that reminisce on how far they've come in the biz [...] over a watery stew of club beats and pulsating synths that lack any real oomph or lyrical resonance. Not to worry, Tinch, there's always that rainy day fund, right?"{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/singlesreviews/a323403/tinchy-stryder-ft-dappy-spaceship.html|website=Digital Spy|author=Lewis Corner|title=Tinchy Stryder ft.
