Giving a culturally rich (literally and metaphorically, as the opening scene shows a hand adorned with gold) and modern portrayal of the West-African country, Jae5 gives fans a glimpse into its colourful and ornate heritage, customs and vast landscapes.

Also proving to be a tale of two halves, the visuals offer a modern portrayal of Africa – it’s rise as a hub for creativity and self-expression of its youth, whilst holding on to traditional values and norms by showing elders in customary wear and women donning regional hairstyles.

Infused with Jae5’s signature afro-infused melody, the track is further enriched by Rema’s smooth vocals in the chorus, “the place where I come from be another dimension/nobody be look my face when I'm there on my own”, and Skepta’s effortless flow – where he provides two powerful verses."

Speaking on the track Jae5 states:

“For my first single, I wanted to pull off something that represented me well. It had to be heavily influenced by Afrobeats and the UK urban scene. Skepta & Rema are the perfect combinations. Dimension is a meaningful track with a vibe! Skepta as always delivers the maddest verse and Rema on the hook - that guy just isn't normal! I hope everyone enjoys the track.”
