During an exclusive interview with Briefly News journalist Mbali Tebele, Langa Mavuso opened up about his recent ex on one of his songs titled Forest. He shared with the publication that the song reflects him being open about his feelings and emotions.

"The song is only one about my recent ex, and it really was me sitting in the studio being bare, you know, and that's why I said in the song 'if I'm being very honest' because I felt like I was playing strong, healed, and wanting to be on the other side already but not having reached that truthfully and so for me in that song it was really more about expressing those feelings and the frustrations of that the person (Ex) I love, I can't be with them at the end."

Langa further opened up about his mother's support and how he frequently went home after being out of touch with both his family and himself. He also mentioned that this album is about him and a collection of letters he wrote to himself.
