…the feeling you get when you meet a girl you like in a room filled with other beautiful women – and how she stands out from the rest and makes you want to chase after her.”
When asked to recount the collaboration, Nonso stated
“I HAD AN INSTANT MUSICAL CHEMISTRY WHEN I FIRST MET MAJID & JORDAN TO WORK ON SONGS. I FOUND THAT EVERY LINE I WROTE, THEY WOULD PUSH ME TO GO EVEN FURTHER WITH IT AND BE MORE DESCRIPTIVE IN MY WORDS SO AS TO PAINT A CLEAR PICTURE TO THE LISTENER. TILL THIS DATE I TRY TO APPLY THIS MOVIE-SCRIPT-LIKE METHOD ON EVERY SONG. THIS WAS THE CASE WITH “DIFFERENT” AND OTHER SONGS WE WORKED ON.”
