Background

In the Mood is a joint release with VP Records and Ranch Entertainment. The first single from the EP is "Mood". The idea to create a soca song came after Shaggy finished writing the song "Mood" during the pandemic, and the track's feel-good vibes led him to write in a different direction. Shaggy made the EP to bring joy to people through his music, maintain a lighthearted and fun atmosphere, and explore the synergy between different genres, particularly soca.[2][3][4]

This EP is a celebration of the Caribbean,[5] portraying the vibrant and energetic spirit of the region through a fusion of genres. The track "Mood" embraces the carefree and enjoyable atmosphere of the Caribbean. "Buddy Bye" keeps the celebration going by applauding the captivating movement of the female derrière, adding to the happiness and excitement of the experience. "I Love Her" expresses admiration for a special lady who embodies the Caribbean's natural beauty. "Well Talented" portrays a cheerful and playful appreciation for the captivating dance moves that define Caribbean culture.[3]
