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:
“The real, then, is that which, sooner or later, information and reasoning would finally result in, and which is therefore independent of the vagaries of me and you. Thus, the very origin of the conception of reality shows that this conception essentially involves the notion of a COMMUNITY, without definite limits, and capable of a definite increase of knowledge.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
“I believe it has been said that one copy of The Times contains more useful information than the whole of the historical works of Thucydides.”
—Richard Cobden (1804–1865)
