The track served as the album’s closer.In a press statement, Yard Act’s James Smith revealed how the collaboration came to be: “Elton John saw our stuff and he started telling the press he thought we were good and then we chatted on the phone and after a few calls I said ‘Elton, do you want to come to the studio and play piano on a tune?’ because, fuck it, it doesn’t matter if he says no.

He added: “I can’t do it but I love it and I wonder how they do it.”Yard Act released a stripped-back cover of ‘Tiny Dancer’ in January and finally got the chance to speak to Elton John on his Apple Music 1 show, Rocket Hour to promote their newly released album.“As you probably know, I’m a big fan and have been since I first heard your first record,” John said to Yard Act. “I like the fact that young acts are actually writing about what we’ve become, what the world is like now, how unjust it is, how awful it is.”Elton added: “I would love to catch up with you and see you in person, buy you dinner, come to a show.
