The project features only 3 guest acts: Skepta, James Fauntleroy, and Taves. Fauntleroy has co-written records for Beyoncé and Miguel, making this a prestige collaboration. Skepta appears in what many listeners call his most romantic and tender performance to date.

Tiwa recorded the album across 4 cities: Nashville, London, San Francisco, and Lagos. The opener “I’m Done” is a stripped piano ballad.
