Chance shared that he connected with Ghanian-American artist Moses Sumney and Naïla Opiangah to work on the track and even put a spotlight on Naila‘s artwork for the performance on the show.

“The piece itself is an embodiment of Blackness. It’s a lot of black bodies in the piece, and not only is it a multitude of them, but they’re all women,” Chance explained. “The fact that we exist, that we survive in the world that we live in is a testament to the fact that we are the children of god.”
