The new song from the 'Mama I Made It' hitmaker features DJ Superior and is called ‘The Arms’. The song was inspired by a road show Jarrad performed where the focus was bringing awareness to gender-based violence and serves as a message to anyone who has experienced GBV to know that all the heartache and pain will come to an end, and that they will find a love that conquers all.

Jarrad connected with DJ Superior (who is Jozi based) via social media to make this single happen.
