The track features a blend of traditional African instrumentation and modern production:

A mother standing on the "tarmac of an airport in London or Atlanta," watching her son leave for war.

This track bridged the gap between African Reggae and American R&B/Hip-Hop . At the time, Akon was at the height of his global fame, helping bring Fakoly's message of social justice to a mainstream Western audience.

The song references "American soldiers," "British soldiers," and "soldiers of the favelas," making the plea for peace universal across borders and races. 🛠️ Musical Production
