Och Aye the G'nu was first mentioned by producer Anthony Field in the Wiggles' 25th anniversary feature interview in May 2016.

After working on the project, Field said; "The songs on Och Aye the G'nu are absolutely beautiful, they come from Jimmy's heart.

[citation needed] Upon release, Barnes said "It has been such an honour and a pleasure to work with my old friends... 'Och Aye the G'nu' was written for my grandchildren, especially my cheeky little red headed Scot.

Glasgow holds a special place in my heart and it was also inspired by my love of Scotland.
