Background
The song was first exclusively previewed in the East London jewellers establishment Trotters Jewellers' YouTube video with Digga D in April 2021 and later teased on TikTok on 14 July.[2] The first verse of the song was later leaked on the internet, which grew the demand of the single. On 11 August, Digga announced the single and revealed that Brighton rapper ArrDee would be featured.[3]
Music and lyrics
"Wasted" was produced by Jacob Manson & Finn Wigan. The song samples T2 and Jodie Aysha's 2007 Bassline hit "Heartbroken".[4] The instrumental has been described as "jumpy garage production". The lyrics were described as Digga D having "a cruddy approach" while ArrDee rapped with a "bullish" and "Geezer" narrative.[5][6]
Controversy
In the song, Digga D shouts out fellow Ladbroke Grove rapper AJ Tracey for using his flow, leading to fans wanting him featured on the song instead of ArrDee.[7] In October 2021, Digga D's Instagram direct messages got leaked on the internet, with some CGM rappers saying they didn't like ArrDee's verse.[8] Digga D later publicly apologized to ArrDee on stage at a live show saying "some things got out there that shouldn't have been out there, the song wouldn't be where it is without you." ArrDee responded to this in an interview saying "me and Digga are cool, I never felt no way" about the leaked DM's.[9]
