‘Twice As Tall’ is named after Burna Boy’s personal experience, mostly after his Grammy loss. Speaking about the album, Burna Boy said:

“It is a journey through a bunch of emotions and energies at different points in time. It has now morphed into something bigger than me. It serves as a bridge for mankind to show that we’re all different but still very much the same.”
