Adding some details about the track, Mogul explains​: ​“I was listening to a lot of organic music these past months and became super inspired. I realised I wanted to incorporate more live elements in my music and give it an analog and warm touch. That’s why I started the production with piano, guitar and strings and finally added some brass and horn sections on top. I loved the feeling these gave me on the “Mixed Messages” composition as they further improved on the impact of the hook. When I first heard Ehmji’s verses, I was immediately inspired to change parts of the arrangement and add some extras here and there. After I sent Ehmji the new version he felt the need to re-record his verses to match the new vibe. And when Javeon’s vocals arrived, everything came together perfectly!”​.

While Maryland-based lyricist and gifted rapper ​Ehmji ​skillfully showcases his flirting skills in his verses, Brighton-based singer ​Javeon ​brings the swagger in the hook and bridge: just sensuality, determination and a convincing, sultry performance.
