The new single features vocals from British singer-songwriter Kyla and rising dancehall star Popcaan.
Naughty Boy was one of the judges on this year's Mercury Prize panel.
Did it ever really go away? Not in our hearts. Anyway here's one for all you 90s kids and Britpop-enthusiasts...
What do The Bluetones. Space and Dodgy all have in common?
Well apart from all being much-loved indie bands from a by-gone era, they are all about to join forces for a touring festival next year.
Also on the bill at Star Shaped festival will be My Life Story, Salad and another as-yet mystery band and they'll head off to Birmingham, Glasgow, London and Manchester next July/August.

Justin Bieber shared his theological musings with a UK audience earlier this week, telling them he won't revive his Instagram account as he's "90% sure" its "hell".
He shared his feelings about the social network during a show at London's O2 on Tuesday night.
The singer deleted his account in August after he and his then-girlfriend, Sofia Richie, started being abused.
"Instagram is for the devil. I think hell is Instagram. I'm 90 percent sure," he said.
Sound of 2017 nominees play live session for Radio 1
If you haven't heard them then then this is a perfect opportunity to check out Manchester noise monsters Cabbage.

The Voice supergroup performs Jolene
Dolly Parton, Mily Cyrus and a capella group Pentatonix performed Parton's 1973 country classic Jolene on the US version of The Voice.
Following the performance, Miley sent her regards to Dolly and her thoughts to the singer over the wildfires currently raging in Tennessee and threatening her Dollywood resort.
For us The White Stripes live version of the song remains one of THE great covers of the, well, century so far, frankly. There, we've said it. See which one you prefer.
Speaking of Dolly, she has today announced she'll donate $1,000 (£797) a month to families affected by the fires.
The singer said she would provide help "until they get back up on their feet".
Ed Sheeran has cracked a joke about his cool new Action Man style facial scar at a charity gig in London.
During his first official performance of 2016 at the Natural History Museum, he said: "It's nice to be back. I've had a whole year off.
"I went to Japan for about a month and hung out with Japanese people. Got my face cut open, anyone read about that?"
According to reports, Ed was accidentally cut on the face by Princess Beatrice during a party prank in which she pretended to knight Jame Blunt - you couldn't make this up.
The singer was playing to 350 guests at the East Anglia's Children's Hospices (EACH) gala dinner.

The latest on the never-ending Bob Dylan Nobel prize non-story now.
The 75-year-old singer, who received the Nobel Prize for Literature a few months back, was a notable absentee from a White House event celebrating recipients of the gong yesterday.
President Barack Obama hosted four of America's other 2016 Nobel Laureates but Bob, who was invited, was nowhere to be seen.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest said:
Quote Message: Unfortunately, Bob Dylan will not be at the White House today. So everyone can relax."
Unfortunately, Bob Dylan will not be at the White House today. So everyone can relax."
The Brit Awards statuette designed by the late architect Dame Zaha Hadid has been unveiled.
The British-Iraqi architect - who's designs include the London Olympic Aquatics Centre - started work on the project three months before she died of a heart attack in March.

The depiction of Britannia with her hips to one side will be handed out to winners at the February ceremony.

Some bloke called Drake has topped Spotify's year end list
APCopyright: AP
Nope us neither.
But apparently an actor-turned rapper from Canada is the most streamed artist on Spotify in 2016 with his single One Dance the site's biggest song of the year.
The Canadian star racked up 4.7 billion streams this year, more than half of which were for his album Views.
Too put that in perspective, there are 7.4 billion people on this planet so its like nearly two thirds of them streaming one of his songs.
One Dance alone was streamed 960 million times. Played consecutively, that would take more than 5,200 years.
Or a great morning if you're that man, Drake. He'll wake up today as Spotify's most-streamed artist of 2016.
Just look how happy he is.
Even better news for Kanye West as he comes out of hospital in LA and Muse are set to headline Reading and Leeds. So good news all round then!
Later on we'll see what you lot out there in the world make of Dame Zaha Hadid's newly-unveiled Brit Awards statuette.
For now, get yourself a hot drink, slowly get your head around the fact that it is now officially December (advent calendar chocolate anyone?) and check out yesterday's Music News LIVE - to learn all about the 'unknown' Rolling Stone, Dolly Parton's heartache over deadly wildfires and heart-warming charitable deeds from Katy Perry, a Beastie Boy and more.

The latest on the never-ending Bob Dylan Nobel prize non-story now.
The 75-year-old singer, who received the Nobel Prize for Literature a few months back, was a notable absentee from a White House event celebrating recipients of the gong yesterday.
President Barack Obama hosted four of America's other 2016 Nobel Laureates but Bob, who was invited, was nowhere to be seen.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest said:
Dylan has already confirmed to the academy that he will not travel to Sweden to receive his award in person at the ceremony in December "due to pre-existing commitments" but is still required to give a Nobel lecture between now and next June.
Poor old Bob, he didn't ask for any of this did he? We're reminded of these lyrics from one of his epic musical poems from 1965:
"Right now, I can't read too good, don't send me no more letters no
Not unless you mail them from Desolation Row."
Take heed everybody.
Kanye West released from hospital

Get well soon Kanye. Whether you like his music or not, Music News LIVE is just not the same without him is it?
