Speaking about the inspiration behind the album, Moonchild told TshisaLIVE the album documented the lockdown experience that was a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.“What inspired my album is definitely everything we were all going through during lockdown, but not necessarily the same thing.

The first side of the album is a journey through the different moods and aspects of her personality. The second side leads into a clubbier amapiano space.“My music is about the liberation of women in the bedroom, in the boardroom, knowing your power. I need to be heard by a lot of people. “With this album, I’ve managed to piece all the different parts of me together because I’m known for different things in different parts of the world. I think you get to know me better with Phases — all the different sides of me.”
