Last week, Stormzy confirmed that his second album, Heavy Is The Head, will land on Dec. 13 and with that announcement came the artwork and the tracklist. Despite its imminent arrival, it's still a surprise to learn that Stormzy's only just released the first single, "Own It", with Burna Boy and Ed Sheeran.

The video from Nathan James Tettey is a stylish affair, capturing the trio first reclining in their thrones before switching to a packed out house party. The new collaboration is Big Mikey and Teddy's second this year, after the pair teamed up on "Take Me Back To London", and third overall when you include the remix of Ed's "Shape Of You". "Own It" has all the ingredients needed to repeat their past successes (and more). Stormzy opens up with a big and bold verse, but this time it's Burna Boy who provides the silky-smooth hook before Ed comes in with a verse that's just as infectious.
