He continues, “I knew myself. I was like, ‘this is not Davido’. My career has always been on fire at all times, [‘till then] there was never a time that I didn’t have a hit out, and that time I didn’t have a hit.

So I called Sony up, and I told them look, you have to let me do what I want to do. That’s what inspired Back to Basics.”
