"6 of 1 Thing" is a song by British singer Craig David, released on 17 February 2008 as the third single from his fourth studio album Trust Me . Written by David and Fraser T. Smith and produced by both Smith and Martin Terefe, the track was B-listed by both BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 2 and charted at number 39 in the UK Singles Chart after physical release.
"6 of 1 Thing" was released to most European consumers on 18 February 2008; however, it was exclusively released to UK customers via digital download and compact disc on 17 February; online digital download site 7Digital and Woolworths stores across the UK issued the CD and maxi CD single on the Sunday, [2] 24 hours prior to the official release date. The reason for this exclusive early release lies unconfirmed, although some say 7Digital and Woolworths had made "special arrangements" with Warner Music Group so that they were able to grab more of the market than any of their rival companies.
The music video for "6 of 1 Thing," directed by Phil Griffin, was premiered on 11 January 2008 on Craig David's official YouTube account. [3]
