Sprinter (song)
"Sprinter" is a song by British rappers Dave and Central Cee. The single was released 1 June 2023 through record labels Neighbourhood and Live Yours, and was included on the artist's collaborative EP Split Decision, released four days later. The song's instrumental has been characterized as a "guitar-led, subtle drill" beat with Latin influence.
Sprinter debuted at number one in the UK Singles Chart, becoming Dave's third number-one single and Central Cee's first. The single became the longest-running number-one rap song in the UK, holding the position for 10 weeks. It also topped the charts in Australia, Ireland, Luxembourg, New Zealand and Switzerland. Sprinter was ultimately the most streamed song on Spotify in the United Kingdom in 2023. By April 2024 it was the most streamed UK rap song of all time.
The work won the PRS for Music Most Performed Work Ivor Novello Award on Thursday 23 May 2024.
The song was first teased by Cee on his Instagram stories on 18 March 2023, revealing that Dave had just sent him an audio file. They were also spotted in the studio together on 10 May.
Sprinter marks only the second time the two have teamed up on a song, the last one being a remix of "Spirit Bomb" (2016) by AJ Tracey. Additionally, Dave helped produce the song "End of the Beginning" on the 23 mixtape in 2022.
'Sprinter' is in reference to a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.
"Sprinter" sees the rappers trading "laid-back" verses over a "Latin-tinged, summer-ready" beat characterised by "chopped-up acoustic guitars and wordless operatic vocals".
David Renshaw of The Fader thought the track was distinguished by "bright wordplay and good vibes", while the lyrics talk about the "age-old problem" of partying with too many girls that a whole van is needed to transport them. Robin Murray of Clash opined that the song "sits somewhere between drill and broader UK rap flavours" and allows the rappers "to do their thing".
