Ddumba was inspired by the Ugandan nursery rhymes and songs she heard when she was a child. She also grew up listening to the hip hop and R&B of the late 1990s. As her family was religious, the gospel music she heard in church on Sundays has also greatly influenced her musical style. Her time with the Tensta Gospel Choir strengthened the influence that gospel music has had on her work.

Everything feels brand new
Whenever I'm here with you
I don't wanna be nowhere else
But I guess you can already tell
It's feeling just like one love

I'm always gonna roll with you
Cause we float like the river, oh
Bring sweet to the bitter, oh
If we fall then we get up, oh
We don't even try
Cause through it all

So effortless

We don't even try, not at all
Not at all, so effortless, yeah
I'm gonna invest in us
I'm feeling like you're good luck
Like a, like a billion dollar trust
That's just about to open up
We're glowing like bright sunlight
Cause happines just abides
As long as we keep this tide
It's gonna be an easy ride
