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.
