About Release the Pressure

"Release the Pressure" is the third single by the English electronic duo Leftfield and the first to involve Paul Daley with writing duties after he joined the group. The song was released exclusively on 12" in 1992. Unlike previous releases that had been released on the Outer Rhythm record label, Leftfield had now officially split from the Outer Rhythm record label. Major labels had offered them deals yet both members didn't want to give up creative control to any major company. They formed the Hard Hands record label with "Release the Pressure" being the label's first official release. The song featured reggae singer Earl Sixteen on vocals. It made the top 20 in the UK charts and featured at number one in the Melody Maker "Stone Free Chart of the Year". It was used in Telefónica O2 and O2 (UK) commercials during its first year.

I've got to stand and fight 
In this creation
Vanity I know
Can't guide I alone

I'm searching to find
A love that lasts all time
I've just got to find
Peace and unity

(Release the pressure)

I've got to stand and fight 
In this creation
Vanity I know
Can't guide I alone

I'm searching to find
A love that lasts all time
I've just got to find
Peace and unity 

(Bruin-dah!)

Can you feel it?
Release the pressure!
Can you hear it?
Peace and unity.

(Release the pressure)

Build's got this to keep your funky dance sway (eh-heh)
Why your laws have left me 
Out of the king and out of the rain
Transalt movement is takin' over

Am I inferior?
Wow.....you are!
