As a born and bred Aussie...well I dont give a fuck, about people saying about rapping in an Aussie accent...Illy is australian..err what do knockers want..him to fake an American accent, he is stayng true to who he is ...2...this song is a masterpiece..Veras vocals and the way it is mixed in is awesome,the lyrics are brill, and the film clip, with Illy expressing himself then it switching to Vera doing her thing with the lighting on her hair...this song rocks and the more you listen to it the more it drags you in..absolutely love it.

[@adamknight5089]

Nice point James. I think many people still can't handle the Aussie accent among American accents. Or Aussie singers or rappers. Unfortunately most Aussie actors working in USA put on American accents, and it's only by Googling them do we find otherwise. I love when Aussie singers/rappers keep their accents. I like it and people need to get used to it.

[@maninspace2021]

Why do people not like his Aussie accent? Just because most famous rappers are American, doesn't really mean that all rappers should have American accents. This song is a-mazing... been hearing it on the radio 24/7. Don't really understand why it hasn't blown up in views yet.

[@hpmoody]

Akram Khan Sounds weird in rap form. Though I do like the song.

[@blazedafirecat]

I love the lyrics of this song! Holy crap these aren't generic lyrics. Am I the only one that feels that? You don't usually hear songs about relationships like the one described here. I love Illy's voice (maybe I don't find his accent strange 'cos I'm also Australian, but whatever), the beat is good, Vera Blue's voice just adds a new layer and just lifts this amazing song more. I dislike rap, but not this. Good job!

[@thili126]

these is soooooo relatable it’s uncanny.. almost feels that i should be getting some of them royalties.

I love how Aussie his voice is. And for those complaining about it, most of the rest of the world think that the Aussie accent is one of the sexiest in the world, just like Aussie people are. Hemsworth brothers and Margot Robbie anyone?

you understand that he has acknowledged that this is not a rap/hip-hop song but more of a pop song. If you are regarding his rapping from songs where he does rap (opening night, YoYo, Swear jar ect.)
