Rudimental dropped in to In:Demand Towers fresh after hitting the #1 spot with Waiting All Night to talk about how they got together, how they came to work with Emeli Sande and more. First Alex asked the guys how they formed, "I grew up on Leon's road." Piers said. "We grew up together and went to nursery together and Kesi grew up round the corner. We started making music from an early age - doing DJing and writing beats and songs, doing all sorts." When Alex asked about the huge success of Feel The Love, the guys looked back on how it came about. "Producers all over the world will tell you that they always feel their own music but they never expect it to do as well as they perceive. It was the same for Feel The Love" Leon said. "Waiting All Night is the same feeling. When we got the first demo together and we played it in the rehearsal room we went mental!" Amir said.

When Alex asked if taking their tops off was a traditional reaction to good news for the guys, they said, "If you come and see us live you'll notice that it's something that happens a lot!" Alex asked the guys how they came to work with Emeli Sande on the album, "She came down to our gig in Brixton it was completely, like everything else we do, unplanned. We didn't know she was going to be there, she came up to us afterwards and complimented us and said she wanted to work with us. We were like 'Are you sure?!' this is Emeli Sande!" they said. "We took a cab after the BRITS nominations straight to the studio all together and we ended up writing two bangers that you hear on the record, so it was an honour to work with her."
