Tanya Stephens's song "Intro" is an intriguing and captivating opening track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The first line of the song addresses the listener directly and expresses a desire to take them on a journey through time. This journey is not only figurative, but it also serves as a journey into Stephens's artistry and personal life.
The line "I hope you're in the mood to travel right now" may indicate that the listener needs to be mentally prepared to take on whatever the song brings, to let go of all reservations and preconceptions to open their minds wholly to the experience. Additionally, the use of "Ladies and Gentlemen" in the opening line suggests that Stephens is addressing a particular audience. She may be referring to her fans or people interested in her music genre.
The line, "we're going back in time," takes listeners on a journey, possibly back to the origins of Jamaica's music, reggae. It also may suggest that the album may have a retro vibe, given that it is a dancehall/reggae album. This opening track sets the tone for the rest of the songs on the album and exemplifies Stephens' unique ability to captivate a listener with her storytelling.
