"Moves" is a song performed by English singer Olly Murs, featuring vocals from American rapper and record producer Snoop Dogg. The song was released as a digital download on 28 September 2018 as the lead single from his sixth studio album You Know I Know.[1] The song also features on the Johnny English Strikes Again OST. It was written by Ed Sheeran, Steve Mac, Ammar Malik and Snoop Dogg.

Background

[edit]

The song is similar to "Feels", by Calvin Harris.[2][3]

This is the second time that Ed Sheeran has written a song for Murs. The first was "Love Shine Down", a track on Murs' self-titled debut album.

Critical reception

[edit]

Michael Cragg of The Guardian derided the track, joking that "it's dominated by two things: Ed Sheeran, who co-wrote it, likely demoed it and then emailed it over as willthisdo.mp3; and Snoop Dogg, who was no one's first choice and has literally no idea what's going on".[2]

Music video

[edit]

A music video to accompany the release of "Moves" was first released onto YouTube on 17 October 2018. It features Murs sneaking into a nightclub with friends while competing in a dance battle.

Rowan Atkinson appears as a bartender serving Murs energy drinks. Snoop Dogg is heard but not seen as he was unable to attend the filming of the video.[4]

Elsie Hewitt an English Supermodel / Actress is also in the said music video.
