It is the lead single from his debut studio album ''Disc-Overy'' (2010) and his debut single on Parlophone. The song was a digital-only release and was available to download in the United Kingdom on 17 November 2009. Producer and writer Labrinth provides vocals on the song's hook, but is uncredited. A remix featuring Snoop Dogg was released in the United States on 16 November 2010 for digital download. In 2011, Labrinth revealed that Tinie would be releasing "Pass Out" in the US. It was re-serviced to radio stations in the United States as the third single from ''Disc-Overy'' in October 2011. "Pass Out" won Best British Single at the 2011 BRIT Awards and Best Contemporary Song at the 2011 Ivor Novello Awards. The song is featured on the ''Madden NFL 12'' soundtrack. ==Background== After signing to Parlophone, Tinie Tempah was put together with producer Labrinth and the collaboration resulted in the first two singles for the label, "Frisky" and "Pass Out". Parlophone president Miles Leonard said the label was adamant that "Pass Out" would be the first single, saying: "It set new precedents for British urban music from what had been happening the year before. And it was a new sound; it sounded fresh, and like it came from the clubs. Both "Pass Out" & "Frisky" were mixed by London's up and coming mix engineer Mr Jones @ Detox Audio."〔 However, the label thought the song may have had too much of "an edge" for daytime mainstream radio to take a risk in playing it, and so planned it as a low-key "set up single" that was instead made available to specialist radio stations. The song ended up getting such an enthusiastic reaction from specialist radio audiences that it was crossed over onto daytime mainstream rotation.〔 Tempah explained to ''The Sun'' that the song is about "getting so out of it that you pass out". The song also mentions Heidi Montag and Audrina Patridge of ''The Hills'', fame and action star Jean-Claude Van Damme and Prince Charles. BBC Radio 1 coverage includes plays from Zane Lowe, Jo Whiley, MistaJam (who gave the song its first radio play on 12 December 2009), Ras Kwame, Tim Westwood (who gave the record its premiere on BBC Radio 1Xtra on 7 December 2009), Trevor Nelson, Fearne Cotton and Nick Grimshaw. "Pass Out" received early playlist support from BBC Radio 1Xtra and Kiss along with strong spot plays on BBC Radio 1, including a "Record of the Week" with Nick Grimshaw. The song is also available as a free download on the game ''Tap Tap Revenge 3''. "Pass Out" features in the UK commercial for ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood''. It was also briefly featured in a scene in the 2011 remake of the film ''Arthur''. American alternative hip hop group Chiddy Bang have also issued a remix of the song. McFly also did a cover of "Pass Out" at Towneley Festival 2011. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pass Out (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
