For the singer who’d stated that the song which felt the most like himself was in I’m A Mess, Omah Lay’s songwriting process is varied.
He said it may take anywhere from an hour to a year to write a song. Additionally, the album’s recording took him 18 months.
Omah Lay also answered the subject of Burna Boy, to which he had earlier said that the singer would not be included on the project because he had taken him off.
