No Man Stands Alone marks a radical change in BANTU's album production style as most of it was recorded, mixed and produced in Nigeria. The tracks "Dem Dey Lie" & "Lost My Faith" where mixed by Rub Nuca & Hopetone Blazze in Cologne, Germany while "Travel & Sea" was mixed by Panji Arnoff in Accra, Ghana. The album production credits cite various studios across Lagos and an array of established and emerging producers from Nigeria like composer & songwriter Del B ("Marching To Aso") who would later go on to produce a string of hits for local & international pop acts. The album theme's center around Nigerian politics with songs like "Marching To Aso", "Dem Dey Lie" and "Show Them Love" addressing political instability, the Jos crises, child abuse, militancy and social injustices.[3] According to music critic Will Witney of Okay Africa "No Man Stands Alone features a mixture of sounds, including several songs which weave together the increasingly popular mixture of hip-hop with live African instrumentation, synthesizers and programmed drums"[4]
