Background
In a conversation with Pulse Nigeria music author, Motolani Alake, Pheelz said, "I was hanging out in the studio with a newly signed producer, Miichkel (MikeGoCrazy) when he played the beat. So, I added the melody, lyrics, and layers to the chorus. The final sound was so good I had to share a snippet on TikTok and other social media platforms that same night." He added, "Buju (now. Bnxn) hit me up after seeing the video on TikTok, so I asked him for a verse and he came through!"[8]
