The album is most notable for Fassie's acclaimed single "Mama". In the song, Fassie paid tribute to her mother Sarah Fassie, who died earlier that year. The album also has the hit single "Ama-Gents", which is a diss track directed at Senyaka. Senyaka first dissed Fassie on his song "Uzonda Magents" because she was publicly dating a woman. [1]
