Speaking of the song, Bensoul revealed that, initially the record was meant to be on Bien Aime’s album but was rejected.
“
Extra Pressure featuring Bien is the oldest song in my new album. We wrote the song three years ago. It was meant to be on Bien’s album (
Alusa Why are You Topless), but his team rejected it because there were so many things he had planned for his first album (as a solo artiste) and they felt
Extra Pressure didn’t fit in. So when they rejected it, I told Bien, please give me back my song,” Bensoul says.
The record written by Bensoul and performed by both, him and Bien is track number three of Bensoul’s second studio album and first album as an independent artist, titled T
he Party & The After Party. The album contains 15 tracks.
