"Big City Life"
Song

"Big City Life" is a single from Mattafix's debut album, Signs of a Struggle, released in 2005. The chorus is sung in Jamaican Creole.

The single topped the charts in Germany, Poland, Austria, Italy, Switzerland and New Zealand. The song also peaked at number 2 on the European Singles Chart.

Although the band is British, the song was much more successful internationally than in their home country. However, the song did peak at number 15 in the United Kingdom.

On 1 September 2006 "Big City Life" was the winner of the 43rd Sopot International Song Festival in Poland. The song also appeared as an EA Trax song on the video game 2006 FIFA World Cup.
