About their\u00a0collaboration, Netsky says; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve wanted to work with Rita since I heard \u2018RIP\u2019, so it was really special to get her and Stargate together in the studio again. We wanted to make a song that really showcased the power of her voice. The song is about the battles people go through being in love. We combined the simple beauty of pop with the power of breaks\/drum and bass. I want to make dance music that has honesty and emotion – I think this song is that.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Rita Ora\u00a0adds; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It\u2019s been amazing to work with Netsky on \u2018Barricades\u2019. It\u2019s an honour to get to work with such a talented producer, especially on a track like this. Collaborating on another Drum n Bass record a decade after my first no.1 \u2018Hot Right Now\u2019 with DJ Fresh, feels like coming home, and I\u2019m beyond excited for everyone to hear it. I hope they\u00a0love dancing to it as much as I do!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
