Speaking at the launch of Ghana’s fundraising campaign for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the award-winning artiste suggested that his musical contribution had a meaningful impact during the election period.

He remarked, before briefly singing a portion of the track;

When we speak about contributions, I believe mine was quite significant in helping the NDC win power; I say this because people have heard the song

Stonebwoy explained that the song was released at a critical moment, noting that it was intended to ease tensions during a highly charged political atmosphere. He also referenced the NDC’s “reset” agenda, stating that the theme influenced his decision.

He said;

I created the song because I genuinely believe in a reset. In my view, I ensured it was released at a time when the system needed some calm, as tensions were high, and that was my way of contributing

He further disclosed that the production process was both swift and costly, drawing a parallel with another of the party’s flagship ideas.
