Nermin Niazi and Feisal Mosleh are siblings who migrated to the United Kingdom from Pakistan as children with their parents in the aftermath of the Bangladesh Liberation War.

[1] In this environment, both spent a significant amount of time in recording studios in Pakistan, remained connected to music during their parents' UK tours, and interacted with "the biggest names in Pakistani pop", such as Nazia Hassan, when they visited the country.

Influenced by both traditional South Asian music as well as British new wave acts, Roland June-60 and Yamaha DX7 synthesisers were combined with Hindustani melodic scales to produce the album's sound.

[7] Initially, the album gained some publicity in England and Pakistan, leading to Mosleh and Niazi being featured on TV and newspapers as well as conducting some performances on stage.

The Urdu lyrics and south Asian pop stylings represent the comfort and familiarity of their upbringing; the synth-driven energy signifies the allure of western culture and desire to break the mould.
