The story of this song starts with the story of how I met Omah Lay in the first place. I found Omah Lay on YouTube... I stumbled on a song in 2019 and I started looking for
him all over the place. This was before we went into lockdown (COVID-19). It was before I left Nigeria for my tour in 2019. Anyway, finally I connected with somebody and they
introduced me to Omah Lay. When we met at the studio, he came late and I was one hour late to my flight. So I was like, damn I really like this guy, but this international
flight is not a joke. You know what, damn If I miss the flight, I miss it. I would wait for this guy. Long story short, Omah Lay walked in and said, “ah boss, you know, I’ve
been trying to reach you. I've been sending you DMs.” So we started talking, you know and I said to him, I have a question for you, who are you? Why are you so talented? Tell
me your story. He told me all of his plans, you know, we chopped it off. Great guy. Then we left. Thankfully I didn’t miss my flight, it was delayed. When I got to the USA, I
was on tour but we kept sending ideas. Then the lockdown happened. That was how we made a song, “Tonight”. That was one of the first songs he ever released, around when he
put out his first tape. After the lockdown, we tried to work on different records. There was a time me, Fireboy and Omah Lay made a record. For some reason that record never
came out. Then Omah Lay and I worked again and made “One Call”. After we made One Call, something just kept tickling me. I felt someone else needs to join us on this song. I
think what tickled me was the fact that the song with Omah Lay and Fireboy never dropped. That song is a hit! I don't even know how to explain it. We were going to get back
to the studio to finish it but it just didn’t happen. After we made One Call, I kept thinking, who would be right to join us on this song? Then I remembered Tyla. I tried to
feature Tyla in 2021 on a song with Lucky Daye but we never put it out. I’ve always seen Tyla as a special pop voice. I had already submitted the song for release, just the
version with Omah Lay. I called my team a week later as said let’s withdraw. Then we finally put Tyla on the song. She also liked the record, it's easy when an artist is also
a fan of the record. Omah Lay had a great reaction to it because they have a good vocal synergy. If you look at the vocal combinations of Omah and Tyla, their voices fit each
other. I'm grateful for the reception on the song. It’s one of those records that stands on it's own for the sake of music forever.
