"Sirens" is the seventh single release from British rapper Dizzee Rascal, and the lead single from his third studio album "Maths + English".

The single was playlisted on BBC Radio 1's 1-Upfront list and the music video for the single made the top thirty of that chart. Despite mediocre amounts of airplay on both television and radio, the single was a success for Dizzee Rascal, returning him to the top twenty of the UK Singles Chart after previous single "Off 2 Work" / "Graftin'" was his first to miss the top forty. The song became his fourth top twenty hit and was his first single to be released on 7" vinyl.

The song was remixed by the Drum and Bass artist DJ Hype on the Drum and Bass Arena album "Drum and Bass Arena Presents DJ Hype". It appears as track number 10, and is only 1:45 long compared to the originals 3:20.

Music Video

The video premiered in 2007. It shows him being chased by policemen and redcoats on horses chasing him through his house, then onto the streets and towards the end of the video, he is trapped down an alleyway and is seemingly killed, and his blood is put in shape of the England flags across the men's faces.
