Jidenna said that he intends to push his brand in Nigeria by collaborating with Nigerian artists from different genres of music because he is versatile. “I can decide to do a record with Burna Boy, Wizkid or Davido,” he said.

The singer also said that his music, lyrics, sounds and collaborations are all geared towards building a bridge between people, races and nations. He further explained that it is the reason his songs have a blend of different cultural sounds especially the high-life blend with Hip-hop so that all can relate to it.

To record the album, he had to become a hermit, spending 30 days alone, without company or human interaction to properly find inspiration and document it for the project.
