“’Let’s Stick Around’ is the world’s first sustainable banger,” Cocker said of the song, with Riton adding: I’m really excited this track is coming out during COP26. Jarv has been one of the most influential and distinctive artists to come from the UK, it’s wicked to work with him.

“We all need to be more conscious of the carbon emissions we create in our lives and I hope ‘Let’s Stick Around’ can help raise awareness.”
