Llona, Bella Shmurda
Generally, I’m an overthinker, and there was a point where there were a lot of slow-motion (TikTok) challenges in vogue. That’s what inspired the
line, “Got no time for no slo-mo.” It was also tied to my life because I knew I wasn’t young anymore, and I knew I had to do something different. I
was angry at life, but at the same time, there was no time to slow down. Like I said, I’m an overthinker, but I’m also aware of the effects of
overthinking, so that’s why I said, “High blood pressure if you go think am” because with everything happening around me–with all the calamities–if
I think about them, I’ll just die. For the remix, I was on my way to a concert when Bella [Shmurda] called me on Instagram and told me that he
fucked with the song. He asked me to pull up to the studio, and at that time, Bella had just lost his friend, Mohbad, so I knew where the energy was
coming from.

Blaqbonez, Ayo ...
When I made “Louder,” I was trying to shoot videos with Olu the Wave. I liked how his visuals were looking, and I just made
‘Louder’ for my “Of Many Colours” project in 2024. He was working with Ayo Maff a lot, and he kept on saying, "Omo, this is Ayo
Maff's lane." I was like, "Okay, send this to Ayo Maff and let’s see" Then Ayo Maff sent the verse, and it was so crazy. I was
like, “Oh shit, this is his lane for real.” Maybe a week or two before I would release the song, I was on a flight with Bella
Shmurda, and he was sitting right beside me. Sometimes, I think these things happen for a reason because there had to be a reason
for why we were seated together. As soon as we got to Lagos, I was like, “Bro, let's link up in the studio,” and that's how I
added Bella Shmurda to that record. While I was getting to the finishing point of this record, it was this one versus “Follow Her”
to complete the pre-release singles, but I just felt like the message on “Louder” was more profound. It felt like the better
lead-up to start the actual outro. It felt like the right song to put instead of “Follow Her” and that’s how it made it to the
project.
