Speaking about the single, she says, “I chose to release a song called Jo because I wanted to celebrate the sensuality and joy that comes with dancing, especially in Nigerian culture. The word "Jo" means dance in Yoruba, and dancing is an integral part of Nigerian culture. It's a way of expressing joy, connecting with others, and letting loose. The song is about following your desires and enjoying yourself, as we Nigerians love to do. I wanted to create a track that would make people want to move their bodies and let go of their inhibitions. The lyrics invite listeners to lose themselves in the music and dance until dawn, experiencing the freedom and pleasure that comes with moving to the rhythm. Ultimately, I hope that "Jo" inspires people to let go of their worries and embrace the joy of dancing.”
