It was written and produced by Mos-B with final productions by Panash of Shockwave Music in Zimbabwe and seeks to encourage people to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
“I encourage Africans and the rest of the world to vaccinate,” Mos-B told Music In Africa. “The inspiration came from a British friend behind the Spratley Charity Foundation and a call from a Sierra Leonean radio broadcaster who called me to suggest that I do a song encouraging Sierra Leoneans and Africans to vaccinate. The song style I chose this time is funk and there is a little touch of African sounds.” Durinf lockdown he also released a song titled "THE BELL OF FREEDOM"

Mos-B noted that he was unhappy with the rollout of vaccines in Africa. “I feel like Africans are not taking the vaccination too serious,” he said.
“In 2020 I released the coronavirus song because I knew Africans were in denial or did not believe it's real. After the release, BBC interviewed me and I received a lot of feedback from Africans thanking me for the brilliant message.”
