About ‘Bullet’

The ostensibly upbeat and buoyant feel of Bullet masks a moving and poignant tribute to one of the UK’s most highly esteemed songwriters, Amy Winehouse. The song touches upon her struggles with substance abuse, mental health issues, relationships and finally her passing at the young age of 27. An interesting piece of trivia for FiF fans is that Bullet was almost completely rewritten for In-flight Entertainment as the original version was considered too disparate and diffuse for the tight, neat pop sound that the album demanded. The original version still exists online, recorded semi-live at the band’s coastal retreat in Folkstone, buried deep in the YouTube algorithms - happy hunting! Recorded at Rockfield Studios under the watchful eye of engineer and producer Laurence ‘Loz’ Anslow, ‘Bullet’ is the ninth single to be released from Fortnight in Florida’s debut album ‘In-flight Entertainment’

“Inspired by the documentary ‘Amy’, Bullet is a tale of recovery and redemption in a world filled with vice and temptation.” - Simon Middleton

The single was recorded at the renowned Rockfield Studios in Monmouthshire, Wales. The studio has a rich recording history and has hosted recording sessions for many iconic artists, including Queen, Oasis, Stone Roses, and Coldplay.

Laurence 'Loz' Anslow, who has worked with artists such as Paul McCartney, Mumford & Sons, Muse, and Coldplay, produced, engineered, and mixed the single.
