## Background
Sean Tizzle, born Oluwaseun Morihanfen, was first affiliated with Sound Sultan's Naija Ninjas outfit, but later left and signed with Difference Entertainment, a label founded by producer D'Tunes after his departure from Made Men Music Group. Sean Tizzle had rose to prominence in 2013 with the single "Sho Lee", which became one of the year's most popular songs. D'Tunes, who had become one of Nigeria's most in-demand producers in 2012 and 2013, established Difference Entertainment and made Sean Tizzle its first signing. Within a year of "Sho Lee"'s release, Sean Tizzle had won a Headies award and begun preparing *The Journey*, a 17-track album intended to build on his early success.

## Composition
The Journey opens with "Perfect Gentleman", a wedding-themed song built on Yoruba highlife instrumentation with talking drums and layered melodies, in which Sean Tizzle presents himself as an ideal partner. "Baby O" follows as an afrobeats-inspired track centered on a romantic plea, while "Take It" carries similar lyrical themes with a chorus built around the refrain "Take it, receive it".

On "Could This Be Love", Tizzle delivers a ballad reminiscent of 2Face Idibia, singing emotionally over orchestration driven by strings. "All the Way", assisted by Kcee, incorporates Igbo lyrics over an eastern highlife arrangement. "Komagbon" draws from the live instrumental feel of earlier tracks, often compared to Davido's "Skelewu", and "Igi Orombo", which features Tiwa Savage, combines contemporary highlife with saxophone lines and vocal riffs. "Duro", produced by Prince Boom, who he has worked with in the past on songs like "Your Body", diverges from D'Tunes' style with a faster-paced afropop production built on synths. Tizzle also includes celebratory tracks such as "Komole", described as an owambe party anthem, and "Mama Eh", which incorporates tribal rhythms into a club-oriented sound. Toward the end of the album, "Momayan" continues in a similar sonic direction to "Komole" and "Igi Orombo", while "Dem No Be God" closes the project with Sean Tizzle reflecting on critics and acknowledging his blessings over a near-spiritual production.
