This song was one of the major fusion of hiplife and highlife in Ghana and meant a successful career for both musicians.
In 2006, Daasebre was imprisoned in the United Kingdom for possession of drugs and was later acquitted of the offence.

The song became a hit on Ghanaian radio charts with the popular songs ‘Seetei’, ‘Wafom’, ‘Ahuofe’.
