“This has inspired me to keep my focus in music, because nothing is too late, and once I produce good music and people appreciate it , I should continue working hard,” she said.
She added that “to sing with the legends like Chaka Demus and Pliers is as if I am featured in the Bible, which is forever going to be recorded.”

The track was produced by Chaka Demus, Bright Star Production, and Yard Slippaz Ent, with the new riddim created by, Kirk “Kirkledove” Bennett.
