A Deeply Personal Project

Taking to her official X (formerly Twitter) account, Tiwa Savage revealed that the 13-track album dives into themes of pain, growth, resilience, and self-discovery. Unlike her previous projects, this album carries a more intimate Afrobeats sound, reflecting her journey over the past five years — from career transitions to motherhood and personal growth.

 “This album is my story, so I kept the features limited. I wanted you all to feel me in every song,” Savage explained during a Q&A session with fans on X.

Minimal but Impactful Collaborations

While the album remains largely solo to preserve its authenticity, it features a few carefully selected collaborations. UK rapper Skepta and rising Nigerian star Taves are the only guest artists on the project, chosen for their ability to align with Tiwa’s vision without overshadowing the personal message of the album.
