"We Got the Power" is the second single from the band's album
Humanz and was produced by Damon Albarn, Remi Kabaka, and the album's executive producer The Twilite Tone. The song features guest vocals from Jehnny Beth, the lead singer of the British band
Savages as well as backing vocals from American rapper
D.R.A.M. and
Noel Gallagher. The song is a particular landmark for Albarn and Gallagher, after their public feud during what was dubbed by the media as "
The Battle of Britpop" in the 1990s. At one point, the song featured backing vocals from Albarn's
Blur bandmate
Graham Coxon; however, his vocals were removed from the final version of the song. In an interview with
Radio X, Albarn spoke of the song, saying "At one point this song had Graham, Noel and me on it and it was sort of heading slightly in the wrong direction. It was becoming almost retro in its sort of spirit and way too rocky for this record so I kind of stripped it right back down again. We play it slightly different live than how it is on the record. It's sort of the song that comes on during the final titles of a film. The climax. I thought Jehnny would take a bit of the testosterone off". He also spoke of working with Gallagher for the first time, which Albarn was very complimentary: "He's fantastic in the studio. It's nice when you see how someone goes about their business. He's great." ==Music video==
