"Happy music is the sign of the times, enuh. We just freeing up from the COVID lockdowns and getting back into the groove of things on the entertainment scene. So we really just want to dance, party and have some fun; it's that time again." explained Miguel Wealthy.

The song, which speaks to popular dances created by the current crop of dancers on the scene, is quickly catching on in the weekly dancehall event space.
