The songwriter said his latest track simply encouraged people to be considerate and patient with one another, especially those in love affairs, saying every relationship had challenges that must be addressed gently.<\/p>\n<p>The track, produced by PJ BW at Mantswitswidi Production studios in Gaborone comes at a time when most are looking forward to celebrating Valentines day on February 14, and it is also intended to embrace and appreciate the support he receives from his fans.<\/p>\n<p>He said just like his previous songs which helped those with challenges to heal and bounce back to life, Pepetetsa encouraged people to cherish and nurture love.<\/p>\n<p>The Mahalapye native said he began working on the single last December and that a few days before its official release, he shared a snippet of it on his official Facebook page to gauge public reaction and it was well received.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost of my previous songs are all about breakups.
