According to her, the album was dedicated to the late Athaji Sankung Sillah and Son, a trend setting Gambian- born entrepreneur. She said, "I dedicated the album to the late Athaji Sankung Sillah because he was someone who helped transform the lives of many Gambians through providing employment opportunities for them. We will never ever forget him in the history of The Gambia." She said the album contains six tracks and it was sponsored by Africell.
