Before Sizza Man wrote for her Ice Cream which was released in 2014 and became her first album, they had collaborated on Automatic.&nbsp;

Automatic, which was also written by Sizza Man – was her second song after Kunyenyeza, which was written by Cindy.

When Automatic became a hit, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xksmGr5yL6U">Sheebah said in an interview</a>, she believed Sizza was the right man for the job and pursued him for several months to convince him to write for her another song.

"Maybe this guy is my good luck charm, so I kept on looking for him. Please, write for me one more song, and he wrote it and it worked," she said.

However, the song didn’t immediately become a hit, as people were trashing its title.

"... that's why I told you this chic can't sing; who sings about ice cream?" people who listened to the song said.&nbsp;

Sheebah had intentionally refused to release the video of the song because she had an idea that she couldn’t immediately fund.

Then she got lucky and convinced the organiser of Miss Uganda South Africa to take her to curtain-raise for Bebe Cool who was to perform there. She was willing to perform for any amount as long as she got on that flight so she could buy the items to use in the video.

When she came back, she talked to Brenda Nambi whom she had worked with under Obsessions to help her design the costumes she had bought and Nambi agreed.

When the video was finally released, it became a hit.
