In an exclusive, Duma shared to musivv the process behind the song. "Initially I had the beat and melody in my head. I was trying out different ways to approach the song. I decided to contact a fellow artist who was a close friend of mine and was making similar music. I wanted to collaborate with him as well. I finished the song in my dorm room overnight. I had a simple studio setup. After recording the vocals, I sent it to my producer for mastering," he says.

As for what line of the song strikes him the most, he says, "Can’t you see I’m worth your time". Adding that every time I hear this line, it gets to me because when I like someone, I’m ready to do everything. My favorite part of the process has to be the recording because we stayed up all night trying to piece the song together, working on the back-to-back vocals. The fun part was experimenting with different tones, tempos, and melodies. In addition to that, the setup was authentic, making the experience more relaxing as an artist because there was no time limit. I was on an unrestricted budget. The room was full of good vibes, comfortable for recording."

Duma goes candid when he shares the message he wants his listeners to take away: "Smile while you still have teeth."‍

'Smile' is now available on all digital music streaming and downloading platforms.
