I made this record in 2018. This was during my first major trip back to Nigeria. I vividly remember promoting another

song “Contagious,” which brought me to Lagos at the time. LeriQ produced “Drown” but it’s one of those records that I

actually mixed, and I felt good about it because I didn’t want a perfect mix. It’s just as raw as it was when I recorded

it. It was inspired by a love interest. I think I was having a lot of sex at that time, and to be honest, this was just

the way I was feeling. Being in the studio and reminiscing about a moment that I had over and over again with that

special somebody inspired the lyrics of the record. Also, being in Nigeria, that’s where some of the language came from.

I tapped into my pidgin and my Nigerian essence on there. A lot of people wonder why I never made visuals for “Drown.” I

was in the middle of so many things when I released (the project) “Love Is Contagious”. At the time, “Blow My Mind” was

happening; there were a lot of distractions, and the fact that I was changing teams, changing labels, and all those

different things kind of prevented a cohesive energy around me to really push the song the way I really wanted to. It's

quite unfortunate, but these things happen a lot in the industry. It is one of those records that people still fell in

love with beyond my expectations, even without a video. It’s a blessing. Part of the plan was to make a video for it but

changing teams and labels happened after the project dropped. It kind of put a dent into the marketing and the energy of

the project, and I ended up going into (another project) “I Love Girls With Trobul” right after that, so everything was

overlapping. “Blow My Mind” was happening, “Sweet In The Middle” was happening, and everything else took off, but it’s

still such a special record. I get so many people telling me that it’s one of their all-time favourite songs from me

from different parts of the world.
