A meditative and provoking listen, focused around the poem in "B'aj بعاج" that forms the lyrical centerpiece of the record. In this song, Abdullah is the protagonist, jumping from the eighth floor of a building in Cairo.

Carl Gari produced and mixed the record, providing a melancholic backbone for Abdullah's lyrics and melodies.
