When we came together to create ‘Paradise,’ the session was effortless,” explained Shot By Deth of DethWrld Records.
He added that the track offers something fresh for listeners. “It's different. It's its own wave - something alternative for the space. If you're into alternative music, this just might be the project for you.”

There was no better time than now. He came to the studio for a session one day, I made the beat on the spot, and ‘Paradise’ was born.”
Witty said the response to the single has been encouraging, particularly from international audiences. “The reception has been very good, especially from listeners outside of Jamaica. Collaborating with Shotty gave me the opportunity to blend dancehall with the alternative sound I've been working towards.”
