In 2020, his critically acclaimed, Grammy-nominated album Made in Lagos garnered over a billion streams to its name and received a prestigious gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

In 2021, the deluxe version of Made in Lagos would feature pop heavyweight Justin Bieber, who would join Wizkid and Tems on the remix of "Essence." The record peaked at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 and won a 2022 BET Award for "Best Collaboration." Earlier this year, the song also won an NAACP Image Award for "Outstanding International Song."

Before the trio collaborated on the remix, the song had already become a global smash hit and gained commercial success with a two-time platinum record to its name and a high playability rate on the radio.
