The song "Rapture" was written by Debbie Harry and Chris Stein of the American rock band Blondie. It was released as part of their 1980 album Autoamerican and became notable as the first number-one single in the United States to feature rap vocals. The song combines new wave, disco, and hip hop elements, and the rap section was inspired by the hip-hop scene in the Bronx. The song was produced by Mike Chapman.
