“Pound Signs” is Tottenham, North London artist Headie One’s first single since the release of “Siberia” featuring Burna Boy in February 2021 from the Deluxe edition of his debut album EDNA. The song, a more traditional drill track as opposed to “Sibera”’s Afrobeats style, talks about how Headie’s riches have changed him.

Headie first teased the single through social media on the 14th of May 2021. Dropping his highly anticipated Daily Duppy on the 23rd of May, it was a surprise to all that it was just 1:35. This was confirmed to just be the prelude for this single as a message at the end of the video said:

I know that was short, right?
£££ coming soon

A month later, on the 14th of June, he put out the instrumental, which featured the artwork, and launched the TikTok Remix Competition. The full track was released on June 24.
