It includes a cameo from America's Next Top Model and Guess model Dom Benjamin, it was filmed in Los Angeles and at HM Prison Kingston in Portsmouth. The track was released on 15 January 2016. It has two official remixes.

Background

Following the release of their debut album, Stooshe took a break and parted with their record label. Group member Courtney Rumbold told a reporter for Closer that "Lock Down" was about the band having freedom, growing up and "breaking free". Karis Anderson commented, "'Lock Down' couldn't be any more personal to us, and although it's about us professionally, people can relate to it in so many different ways." They also said that the song "represents freedom and choice, a snapshot of the journey that we have been on so far, but it still stays true to us with our Motown theme running throughout". The track was written by Alexandra Buggs, Anderson, Rumbold, Nait Masuku, Tekiva Ledwige and Miss Vivianna from Funky Viva. The cover art for the single depicts Stooshe in front of a police line up wall wearing orange jumpsuits.

Rock City (duo)

Rock City, also known as R. City and Planet VI, is an American musical duo from Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, formed in 2003. The duo, composed of brothers Theron and Timothy Thomas, who use the stage names, A.I. and Uptown AP respectively, are also a songwriting and record production team. The Thomas brothers also write and produce for other artists, including Jamaican artiste, Sean Kingston ("Take You There"), American singer, Miley Cyrus ("We Can't Stop"), Trinidadian rapper Nicki Minaj ("Only") and Barbadian popstar Rihanna ("Pour It Up").

The duo has also contributed to numerous Grammy-nominated albums including Rihanna's Unapologetic (which won Best Urban Contemporary Album), Jennifer Hudson's self-titled album (which won Best R&B Album), and Ariana Grande's My Everything (which was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album).

Rock City also releases original music, having released several mixtapes since 2008. The group had previously been signed to Geffen Records and KonLive, where they released a series of mixtapes with the primary title, PTFAO (Put the F*ckin' Album Out)—a reference to the fact that their debut album Wake the Neighbors, had not been given a release date. In 2011, the duo was released from their contract with KonLive, and founded Rebelution Records, on which they intended to release their debut album. A new album, What Dreams Are Made Of, is due to be released in 2015, after being signed to Kemosabe Records and RCA Records by Dr. Luke.
