The single produced by TYMG is a seamless blend of Afro-R&B and traditional Nigerian rhythms elevated by live instruments, intentional songwriting, and powerful vocal delivery.

The single highlights the social ills of tribalism, corruption, poverty, and unemployment that have pervaded the society. The song also serves as a reminder for Nigerians to step up and root out the bad leaders who have retained power for decades.

Speaking about the single Nkiru says:

"I recorded 'suffer' in 2020 after the Lekki tollgate massacre. I felt like we weren't being heard by the government and as a creative, I decided to record a song about it and get it off my chest."
