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.
