Sarz, Lojay, Chris B...
It was a seamless process because he (Sarz) is not the kind of producer that tries to get in your face. He wants you as an artist to do your thing.
If anything, it’s almost like he’s just trying to get the best out of the artist by letting them be themselves and not trying to distract their
process with his own ideas. It was really fun. When the EP (LV N ATTN) dropped, Monalisa (from the EP) just started popping on its own. The song
just came from nowhere and started doing its thing. As that was happening, we were like yeah, a remix would be nice and by the end of last year
(2021), we were already thinking of doing a remix. We basically just sent it out to different people that we had in mind that we would want on the
remix. Chris Brown was one of them because he just floated so effortlessly on Afrobeats and we just felt like he was one of the people who could
take it to a whole new place and still maintain the same essence. There was an air of uncertainty until that happened and then all of a sudden it
was time to go.

Titanium, we recorded this in Malibu. I and Chris Brown, it’s not even about music, he just comes to hang out, we talk about
everything. Like we sleep off on the couch together, smoking, chilling. As he came, obviously we had the studio set up and he
listened to the album. He picked the Victoria Monét song, he was like “yo, that gotta be there”. He loved 10 Kilo, he likes
Anything, then he liked Titanium so we got him on Titanium. I went to his house, obviously he has a studio there. That’s where he
recorded his part, in LA.

Initially, when I made “Somebody Like You”, the intention was to create something different, compared to what was already out in
the market for Afrobeats. I just was sifting through different like beats with SARZ, just trying to find something that I felt was
kind of unique in a sense. Then he played the beat for Somebody Like You, and I instantly just gravitated towards it. It just felt
very nostalgic. I think the lyrics kind of just followed in that same direction. Once I started singing to it, the first thing
that just came out of my mouth was; “summertime in Abuja… reliving the simpler days”. I just kind of built the idea from there. It
actually took a while to finish because after I created the first verse, I had other ideas for a chorus and everything. I
revisited the song sometime after, and when I did, it just felt like everything I needed to say in the song had just come. So I
kind of scrapped everything and started with just the first verse and just entered into a new vibe with the song. The song kind of
made itself in a way, because over time, I think it was just a reflection of all the things I was feeling based on the nostalgia
the instrumentals was giving me and everything. I just felt like I knew what and who I wanted to talk about with that song. And
that (person) was my first love. It all ended up being Somebody Like You.
