"In Your Shoes" is the second single release from British singer-songwriter Beverley Knight's sixth studio album,100%,released on 9 November 2009.[1] The radio edit was added to the BBC Radio 2 playlist on 14 October 2009 and peaked on the B-list.[2]
The song was co-written by Knight,DJ Munro,Dex Nicholson and Edwyn Collins and was produced by DJ Munro,and DC Joseph. "In Your Shoes" takes a sample from Scottish post-punk band Orange Juice's 1983 release of "Rip It Up". For the single release of "In Your Shoes",a remix was created for urban radio stations featuring British rapper Chipmunk performing over the original middle-eight section of the song. The remix version was premiered on Ronnie Herel's BBC Radio 1Xtra programme. Knight explains that "In Your Shoes" is about people who focus their envy of your progress,instead of concentrating on their own journey".[3]
Critical reception
In an early review of "100%",David Quantick of the BBC said of the song "Knight's fifth album sees the singer rip it up and start again. Literally so in the case of the splendid,must-be-a-single In Your Shoes,which doesn't so much sample Orange Juice's Rip It Up as sit on it and ride it to the market".[4]
