"James and I were trying to find a sound that mashed urban drums with pop instrumentation and vocal melody," Jai says of the collaboration. "We then discovered this beat and ran with it, and ended up really digging the result." It's all about the online world and the real world colliding. Often we say things online that we wouldn't say in real life, and 'Mates' refers to a situation in which that happened to me."
