Ife went for specific songs like 'Dorcas' and 'Ferrari' trying to find out the stories behind them and Yemi Alade didn't hesitate to defend her position. On 'Ferrari' she said, “My male counterparts, Wizkid, Davido... 'are always talking about the girl being 'very voluptuous' 'but some get, some no get' so 'it's high time we told them too that all we need is Ferrari in the backyard, salary in the hand” .

Rexx expressed his
appreciation for the album's music direction and the fact the producers
held their own especially Selebobo bringing out Yemi Alade's playful
side. Then he went in, and asked if 'Ferrari’ was not a tad bit portraying African women as materialistic'. She answered by saying, “I'm
not a vain person, I like the simple things of life...It's not about
being materialistic, it's about saying what you want when you want it.”
Rexx proposed that since Yemi said there was a second part to the
album, it should reflect 'problems African women are facing'.
