According to the American producers “To us ‘Simple Things’ sort of feels like the ultimate DJDS song because it sounds like what we’ve done and where we’re going all at once. You hear the sample chops and that’s old school DJDS but the collaborations represent the future. The work we put in with Burna Boy directly lead us to linking with Rema, and Tory is somebody we’ve been waiting years to get in the studio with. These guys are upper echelon so we really had to draw upon all our experience to give them something that felt undeniable.”

When asked about his production he shared; ‘Organic that is one-word men, music is a feeling for me if am not feeling it no matter how excited people around me is I don’t work on it making music for me I see it as a blank canvass to paint on like I’m about to make a piece so there’s no format like starting with a kick or a trumpet I have had productions that I tell the artist you have an idea of the vocals right? I just record the idea no piano nothing. It takes months sometimes so when they call to ask what’s up I tell them “it has not come to me” it has to tell me something you know it’s very easy for me to just pull up Alkaida clap and put kongas to make a beat in 10 minutes but for everything to stand out to get the best of me the song has to appeal to me one, the vibe has to come to me naturally’…
