Speaking about bringing Adekunle Gold on for this remix, Shay explains: “I have been a huge, passionate fan of Adekunle Gold for a long time and it was an honour to work with him on this remix. He was my dream collaboration for this. It’s not often that your dream becomes reality so I’m very grateful! I’m on a journey with my sound so having great minds around me is so necessary.”

She continues, “I feel connected to Adekunle Gold as an artist because we share a love for an effortless melody. I also think his mind, his leadership and business acumen is impressive. I’m so proud to say he has contributed to my story now - he added so much personality to the song and deepened the Afro elements. I wanted to do a remix for ‘Irrational’ because the response to the original has been incredible. I think people loved the warmth of the song, so I didn’t want to change it too much. Michael Brun had created such a unique experience already!”
