The song serves as an ode to the kind of love that defies obstacles and flies in the face of negativity, delivering a message of resilience and positivity.
Mike Nasa’s journey to create “That’s On Me” began during his time in Los Angeles, where he connected with Dexter Eliot to collaborate on a hit that would resonate with audiences. The result is a completely new direction for Mike Nasa, reflecting a sense of familiarity and organic creativity. The song delves into the duality of emotions, particularly focusing on the multifaceted nature of love and relationships.
I was in LA working with some friends and hit Eliot because I needed him to do what he does best, cook up a hit. Barely a day later, I got a link to some beats. As soon as I heard “That’s On Me” I knew this was one we needed to collab on together.
The sound we’re creating is a completely new direction for me that somehow feels familiar and organic. I like speaking about the duality of things, this song happens to speak on the duality of the girl in my life, soft yet fierce, chill yet intense. So many things that I love about her. I promised to us both that we would make it through, thick or thin. Its a deep song delivered in a light hearted one, again, duality. – Mike Nasa

My love for music started early. Having separated parents, I would go on long car journeys through the Swedish countryside with my dad who’d burn me mixtape CDs showing me all of his favourite music. We’d listen to everything from blaring techno, to Cypress Hill, Mr Oizo, to Aphex Twin to remixes by Jason Nevins, and everything in between. That’s where my love for hiphop, remix culture and electronic music began – Dexter Eliot
