Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, Emmi Edwin shared:
“IMA was supposed to be a mainstream gospel song, at least I thought so when I wrote the chorus. With time and sitting more with it, I discovered how beautifully I kept describing love in its purest forms. IMA is my definition of love, to me, it’s THE definition of love, whether romantic, platonic or parental. IMA (LOVE) is how I view and experience love from God, and it’s also how I think we all want to be loved—safely, softly, intentionally and deeply.”
With its warm production, emotional delivery, and meaningful message, “IMA” showcases Emmi Edwin’s ability to connect with listeners through authentic storytelling and timeless music. The record blends Soul and Afro influences into a refreshing sound that is both calming and deeply relatable.
