Craig David ‘7 Days’ | The Making Of A UK Classic

Craig David shares the story behind his undeniable UK classic, ‘7 Days’.

Released in July 2000 — when Craig was still just a teenager — he tells the story behind his UK chart-topping hit 25 years after its release. Written in Craig’s family home in Southampton, and co-produced with the Artful Dodger’s Mark Hill, it debuted in the charts at number one after selling 100,000 copies in its first week.

David discusses how he handled the sudden fame, the meaning behind the lyrics and the story behind its ‘ahead-of-its-time’ music video.

A quarter of a century on from his first album release, ‘Born To Do It’, David has just released his latest album, ‘Commitment’, which features Tiwa Savage and JoJo.
