This is one of my favorite songs.

I think it’s a track that showcases Jamiroquai’s style at full blast.

It’s got a great groove with a slightly dark vibe.

The trumpet that comes in midway adds atmosphere and sounds really cool.

It’s so groovy that your body starts moving on its own, and it really captures that Jamiroquai feel.

I think this track is especially popular.

It’s a tribute song to bassist Stuart Zender, who was a member of Jamiroquai from 1992 to 1998.
