Speaking about the song, R3HAB said,

'Rebellion' is where three sounds collide - my electronic energy, Shaggy's reggae vibes, and Michael Patrick Kelly's soulful rock vocals. We've fused our styles into a feel-good anthem about taking on the world together. It's a testament to how music transcends genres, and we can't wait for fans to hear it.

Michael Patrick Kelly added,

'Rebellion' is about the rebellion of love in the midst of a world full of hatred and violence. The song is about two rebels, a portrait of the Bonnie & Clyde of love, opposing all the hate and violence in the world by celebrating what they feel for each other. Calling out for a revolution of love, for a rebellion of lovers. The power is in the people who celebrate love and life with music and tear down the works of destruction in this world.

Shaggy said,

Making music Is rebellion. What better way to express that than singing a song called 'Rebellion.'
