Jara is a catchy song built around romantic devotion, loyalty, committed love and extra love/effort. “Jara” roughly translates to bonus or extra in Pidgin.
There are nods to lines like “come be my Caesar, take my gold, ‘cos when things scatter you dey come through” and “If na Mission Impossible I go Tom Cruise am.” It also references Ojuelegba (a suburb in Lagos) turning to Rome as an infinite timeline for staying together.
Uptibaba revealed Jara began as an attempt to win back an ex-girlfriend, with the plan to have her as a featured artist on the song, hoping the process would create an opportunity to reconnect and possibly fix things. Sadly, things never went as planned, so work on the song paused. However, he later met someone else who became the new inspiration behind the record.
