Mr Green told him the song was a big hit in America and other places in the world and that they could do a good reggae cover of it.
“I really liked the lyrics of the song, especially as it referred to the long lasting nature of sincere love,” the man adjudged the Best Male Vocalist at the 2011 and 2013 Ghana Music Awards said.

Dean Fraser arranged and produced the instrumental backing in Jamaica and the vocals were recorded at Zapp Mallet’s Title Track Studio in Accra. Knii Lante pointed out that he listens to a wide variety of music and is not afraid to tackle work by somebody else that he likes. He did a cover version of Luther Vandross’ So Amazing for his Love and Revolution album.
