The London-born MC, real name Jermain Scott, entered at number two on the midweek chart with the track, which samples the Stone Roses classic 'Fools Gold'.
"I was totally prepared for a slating. I imagined loads of Stone Roses fans telling me I'd messed up a classic," he told the Daily Star.
"People criticise before they congratulate, so it was surreal when I started getting positive feedback. Ian Brown giving it the thumbs-up was amazing. I loved 'Fools Gold' so much when I was growing up. It has a real sunny vibe."
Speaking about his recently-announced UK headline tour, he stated: "I can't wait. Playing live is the chance to show people what I'm about properly."
