TikTok user and DJ @djzayy posted his remix of Nigerian singer Tems's song "Free Mind" in January 2022. The song comes from her 2020 album For Broken Ears. Per Spotify, Tems's music "brings an urban sound" that embodies a "fusion of alternative R'n'B and Neo soul genres."
The first verse includes lyrics like "The fear in my mind is a warning / Praying to the one you rely in / I've been wandering all day / I try to be fine but I can't be"; meanwhile the chorus repeats the lyrics "I rеally need, I really need time now / I really need, I need a free mind now."
The song sees the singer attempt to free herself from the prison of her mind.
