The singer mentioned how he would often stay up late to catch the likes of Elton John and Celine Dion on the radio, adding that they influenced the brand of afrobeat music he makes.

On his massively successful hit single, Peru, Fireboy maintained that everything he recounted in the track happened.

According to him, he arrived in San Francisco and a team member suggested touching down at the studio just to say hi before they returned the next day for a proper session.

Fireboy, however, heard a beat from ace producer, Shizzi, and he decided to get into the recording booth.

According to him, he wasn’t entirely in a good place mentally at the time as he hadn’t released any song since 2020. He added that fans were already expecting something new.
