A música “Shutdown” foi lançada como segundo single do álbum *Konnichiwa* em 26 de abril de 2015, distribuído pela gravadora Boy Better Know.
A produção contou com a colaboração de Ragz Originale, que co-produziu junto com Skepta, reforçando o som britânico de grime.
Curiosamente, a composição do rap foi creditada não apenas a Skepta, mas também a atores Idris Elba e Daniel Mukungu, evidenciando a influência de personalidades de outras áreas na criação da faixa.
Como segundo single, “Shutdown” manteve o ritmo de lançamento que caracterizou o álbum *Konnichiwa*, que já havia trazido o hit “Shutdown” a uma ampla audiência antes da sua primeira aparição em 2014.
Embora não haja registros de premiações específicas para esta faixa no texto, o fato de ser produzida em colaboração com Ragz Originale destaca a parceria recorrente entre Skepta e o produtor na consolidação do seu som.
