Information
"Ride It" was originally planned to be released in the United Kingdom on the 5 November 2007 followed by the album My Own Way on 3 December 2007. However, music channels were unwilling to play it at the time and eventually reached an agreement to play it extensively from December onwards, consequently Jay pushed back the single's release date as well as the album's release date.
The song produced by Alan Sampson became Song of the Week on London's Kiss 100 on 10 December 2007 and was also playlisted on Capital 95.8FM, Choice FM, Galaxy, BBC 1Xtra, and being featured on BBC Radio 1's B-list. It reached the number 1 spot on MTV's The Base Chart Show. Later, a Hindi version of the song was added to YouTube.
Sean said of this song: "It started off with me in the studio with a rap, jumping around like a joker. It's all about the games people play across the dancefloor on a night out - how you can catch someone's eye and accept a challenge that lasts the rest of the evening."
The intro and the epic melody background was based on the Hero soundtrack by Tan Dun. Some of the scenes in the video were shot in Manhattan.

Famous quotes containing the word information:
“In the information age, you don’t teach philosophy as they did after feudalism. You perform it. If Aristotle were alive today he’d have a talk show.”
—Timothy Leary (b. 1920)
“We hear a great deal of lamentation these days about writers having all taken themselves to the colleges and universities where they live decorously instead of going out and getting firsthand information about life. The fact is that anybody who has survived his childhood has enough information about life to last him the rest of his days.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
“Phenomenal nature shadows him wherever he goes. Clouds in the staring sky transmit to one another, by means of slow signs, incredibly detailed information regarding him. His inmost thoughts are discussed at nightfall, in manual alphabet, by darkly gesticulating trees. Pebbles or stains or sunflecks form patterns representing in some awful way messages which he must intercept. Everything is a cipher and of everything he is the theme.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
