According to Nzimande, AKA kept saying during his studio sessions that he was trying to do "something that has never been done before" with the album.

“Him adding Last Time and making it the first song on the album speaks volumes. It’s been a two-year process working on this album, from him giving us the vision and telling us what exactly he wanted to do. The first big camp we did for it, we went and recorded at a house in Mooi River.”
