O'Donis produced another four and together they produced one. In an interview O'Donis mentioned to have worked with many African producers including South African producer SpineCracker. O'Donis commented on the writing process as "writing my own songs is extremely important to me. I feel that I've gone through so much in my life and there's no better way of showing the real you than through music. It's a way for me and my fans to connect through the same struggles. There's so much more of me that I haven't revealed and music is my way of letting people know who I am." According to O'Donis, he and Akon had recorded around forty songs for the album and "it was hard to get it down to a manageable number." O'Donis got inspirations from "girls" and "life in general, past experiences and feelings I've gone through."
