Although the main genre for these songs is Eurodance, it does have a considerable amount of Italian influence. This is especially prevalent in Dark Night Rider and It's a Rainy Day. But Think about the Way and It's a Rainy Day were so successful that many Eurodance fans still listen to them. In 1994, due to some legal issues, Ice MC separated from Roberto Zanetti and Alexia. In 1996, Ice MC struck back with a new album called The Dredatour. The hit song of the album was the pure Eurodance song Give me the Light, but the album itself wasn't particularly successful. After this, many thought that Campbell had caused irreparable damage to his career.
At the end of 2002 he decided to return to Italy and to contact Robyx (Roberto Zanetti) again. Together, they decided to realize a new project. Ice and Robyx started by writing some new material and, at the beginning of 2004, they withdrew into the studio to record a new album.

Me as a very young man growin up life wasn't easy
My mother an my father work to feed my big famliy
I go to di school to learn lessons that was no good to pq
Beca now dat me is a man mi know di really
I search inside myself to find my ability
An the ability mi find is to make people hearty
Dis a di I to the to the cio you know who me be
Mi sidong on top a di rydim an cash in mi money
Don't bother delay don't bother try play
Better go get your pay
Better you go an dig deep down
For something you can display
Money, money, money make money, money, money
Too many many people dem say
You are the only one that can
Cover your head on a rainy day
Make money hey ho hey, hear what I say
I hope you don't ignore this thing because
You have to make your way
Don't get me wrong an lose your soul
For this no sum can bring it back whole
Better get ya shit together like Mars bar
Work, rest and play
The lyrics of Ice MC's "Music for Money" speak of the struggle of earning money and making a living. The chorus, "Move move, no bother delay, Music for money, Got to get, I got to get paid" shows the urgency and importance of making money. Ice MC talks about his own struggles in his youth, with his parents working hard to provide for his large family, and how he had to search within himself to find his own abilities to make a living. He speaks of being on the rhythm, cashing in his money, and emphasizing the importance of earning money.
The following lines "Don't bother delay, don't bother try play, Better go get your pay, Better you go and dig deep down for something you can display" urges the listener to not waste time and put in effort to earn a living. Ice MC is seen as a figure of authority, advising listeners to make money as they are solely responsible for their own survival. The line "Don't get me wrong and lose your soul, For this no sum can bring it back whole, Better get ya shit together like Mars bar, Work, rest, and play" is a warning against putting money ahead of oneself and being mindful of one's own well-being.
Ice MC's "Music for Money" encourages listeners to prioritize making a living but with a caution to not lose oneself in the process.
