Chase & Status have had three number one tracks on the UK Dance Chart in 2007 with the double A-side "Hurt You"/"Sell Me Your Soul", and in 2008 with "Take Me Away"/"Judgement (Informer)". On 5 October 2008, they reached number 70 on the national singles chart and number one on the UK Dance Chart again with their single "Pieces" featuring vocals by Plan B. In 2009, they made number 45 with "Against All Odds" which featured UK rapper Kano.
Chase & Status' first album, More Than Alot, debuted in the UK album charts at number 49 on 19 October 2008 and entered the UK dance album chart at number 2.
Their album More Than Alot received the Best Album Award at the 2009 Drum and Bass awards, Birmingham, UK.

Following the success of their last album the band wanted to gain a more global success. After meeting with a long time favourite of theirs, Cloud9, they decided to move in a different direction. Together they agreed that the band should do more pop collaborations in order to achieve a more mainstream fanbase. Soon afterwards they quickly began working on the album. On 8 November 2009, the duo entered the UK Top 40 for the first time with the track "End Credits". The track was released on 2 November 2009 and featuring British musician Plan B managed to reach a peak of number 9 on the UK Singles Chart. The single was written for the movie Harry Brown, which also starred Ben Drew, aka. Plan B.

The duo then released "Let You Go" on 15 August 2010, revealing it to be the second official single to be released from their second studio album, named No More Idols according to posters outside their album launch show at the HMV Forum in Kentish Town on October 21. The single featured vocals from Mali and debuted on the UK Singles Chart at number 11; marking the duo's second consecutive Top 40 hit. "Hypest Hype" featuring Tempa T was confirmed in October 2010 to be the third single from the album and was released as a free download from their website on 8 November 2010; meaning it did not qualify to chart. The fourth single from the album is the dubstep-flavoured Blind Faith, which features Nottingham-born soul singer/songwriter Liam Bailey - it was released on 31 January 2011. The new anticipated album also contains a new single 'Heavy' with Dizzee Rascal.

They have also created a remix version of "Invaders Must Die" for The Prodigy. The remix reached 53 in the Australian Aria Singles Chart and 7 in the Aria Dance Chart. They have also produced for Bajan singer Rihanna, on her fourth album Rated R as well as for British singer Alexandra Burke's album Overcome.

Burning
Chase & Status Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Help me to see what it is
Show me that you wanna be with me
Show me all the things that you
Never showed anyone who couldn't see
A wedding day, a March 15th birthday
A young girl who's falling out of love again
The seasons never change
And we're always the same

Yeah, we're always burning
We're always burning, oh
Why don't you lay a while here
And make it all okay
A jet plane couldn't keep up with you
And it's written on your face
I still like to sometimes think that
Maybe you see a little bit of me
Inside your dreams
And in your heart I live
So don't you let it go from here
Cause it's way far past
And I'm unclear
Why don't you take a rest, lay down
I'll bring you your favorite book
And we can play around (We can play around)
Yeah, we can play around (Yeah, we can play around)
Won't you smile and look away
Like you never saw the light of day
Before in your life
(Before in your life, before in your life, before in your life, before in your life)
I still like to sometimes think
That maybe you'll find a little bit of me
Inside your dreams, and then you start to cry

So don't you let me go from here
Cause I'm way far past, and you're unclear
