I don’t let my troubles get the best of me. I was always in the studio channeling positive energy
into my music. Two weeks before my U.S tour, I went to Del-B’s (the producer) house and in the
studio there we made the idea, the drums, the percussions of the song. Del-B worked on the main part
of the beat and I did the flute. Most times, I play a part (of the beat) and record on it. It’s
always easier for me to record on a part than on the actual (complete) beat. I started with the
melodies first then wrote the lyrics. Then T-Spize (additional producer) played the guitar. In the
beat, we were looking at something between Highlife and R&B. It has Ghana Highlife percussions with
R&B pads and strings on it. So it has this soul to it. Everyone wants to know what I was saying in a
part (intro chant: whine for the ****). That might be the juju (charm) in the song so if I tell you
what it means, you might stop liking the song… so just whine for anything. I wanted something deep,
in Naija we call it “wash” (translated as “mesmerize”). I had to put a lot of wash in the song so
any girl that hears it, the wash would work very well.
