"Shame" is the second single off Scottish/Liberian/Nigerian trio Young Fathers' upcoming White Men Are Black Men Too LP, the follow-up to their Mercury Prize-winning album Dead. The new single blends a trotting beat, grumbling bass, and vocals from Scotland's Leith Congregational Choir into an off-kilter, discordant pop jam. In a cryptic press statement about the new track, Young Fathers write, "...what does it take to feel better? When will you be happy again? Who cares. Keep moving and then, a moment and you realise, hey I’m happy, just now, right now and it comes home and you feel no shame. No. Shame."
