Braye
I wrote “Stuck” when I was in my sister’s apartment in Abuja, 2022. This was when I first started really playing the guitar a lot. I was just there,
playing my guitar everyday, taking walks around the estate and listening to my recordings. I had it recorded on my phone with just my voice and
guitar. When I came to Lagos August 2022, I would play it privately to people when I’m showing them my stuff. If you notice, it has the same first
chords as “Slipping out of time” (another Braye song) because those were the only chords I knew how to play on the guitar.

We were in Ghana, January 2024. The producers, DUKE said; “we made this for Tems, but she didn't use it”. When they played it,
right there, the melodies came to me. I said, know what, I’m going into the kitchen to write the song. I wrote it without
listening to the beat, all I had was that first melody in my head. Usually, I write my songs on paper, but I wrote it on my phone,
came out and said to DUKE, let’s record this. We’d had a long and stressful recording session leading to this point. During
recording, that part “all I need…” was so difficult for me to sing. When the mic was not on my mouth, I’d sing it so perfectly,
but when I have the mic, I’d get so nervous and couldn’t sing it. After a while, I finally got something. I was recording right at
the point that I was waiting for my ride to the airport. So the first part of Painless Melody, I recorded in a haste.
