Speaking on his love for this genre Cassper said “With this album following up from ‘Any Minute Now,’ I decided to switch up the sound because I felt like the world was catching up to amapiano. And me being a big voice in the continent, I felt like I should use it to put more shine on the genre. And also I was just enjoying making music that’s authentically South African. And I was just in a good mood and I wanted to dance, so I decided to make a fully piano album and just give my take on how it would sound if I had to do it.“

Cassper Nyovest on why ‘Siyathandana’ was released after pressure from fans
It was actually chosen as a single by the public. It wasn’t supposed to be a single. People heard a snippet of it and then everyone started to demand that we release the song and I had to stress the label to change plans and it just took over, man. And that’s what’s beautiful about music. Sometimes you might think that a song is going to do wonders and then a song that nobody’s looking at just takes over. So it’s one of those songs that are just a blessing.
