Opening with ‘Kata W’ani Te’, the plea of a lover asking her packed away, the songs on the album are all typical Nana Acheampong style.

Nana is full of praise for African Women in general and Ghanaian women in particular as he sings ‘Obibini Mu Obibini’. He admires her features and qualities with all the positive words that one can think of. He quickens the pace in ‘Se Eye Wode’, the title track, making it extremely danceable.

He outlines the characteristics of the gossip and how harmful she can be to society. A variety of themes run through the songs. In ‘Nipa’ for instance, Nana outlines how ungrateful some people can be to the extent that people may just decide not to show kindness to others again.‘Sanbra Fie’ is another one that calls on a lover to come back home, Nana sings of how lonely he is without the woman in his life and pleads with her return home because he misses her so much.
