Upon reaching number one, fans asked Labrinth via social networking website Twitter about the spelling. He replied `` Can I make something clear ! this is twitter ! Not an English GCSE haha I 'll spell as BADLY as I wish awritemayte !... Oh is this about # Beneath '' YOUR '' Beautiful I love how crazy this has sent people.... It was to annoy English teachers and grammar Nazis. '' ( sic ) The song was nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Single at the 2013 BRIT Awards.
