The album has eight tracks.

Mr Jaiva, who is best known for sungura music, told Southern Eye Lifestyle that this is his second album and it would be launched at Club Royal.

“This Saturday l will have a double launch of my album and DVD titled Ndatorwa Mwoyo at the same time. Ndatorwa Mwoyo is a song that talks about what happens in society everyday. It looks at what happens before one gets married when a lover would have taken one’s heart. During the launch, we will have Ndebele, who would be the guest of honour,” Nyathi said.
