This was one of the first songs I recorded during my camp in Ghana, 2024. The camp started with some sessions for Sony
Music. We were all busy because there were sessions all day and we couldn’t do much. I had made “Slipping out of time”
with just my guitar in my sister’s apartment in Abuja as far back as 2022. So one morning in the camp, I was playing it
and the producers, DUKE were like; “What song is this? Let’s make the song”. I was already so familiar with the song and
it felt impossible for me to share it. I felt very attached to the song and I didn’t want to subject it to people’s
opinion. I didn’t usually play it to people, but I just felt like playing it that day. That’s how we made it.

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.
