Tunji Ige's The Love Project is above all a coming-of-age story, concentrating on Tunji’s life from ages 16 to 19. It’s a meditation on him as a young, black teenager dealing with relationships, rebellion, and the pressure to be cool. "For Us" is the opening song. Tunji says, "'For Us' I feel is a critique on the social climate as well as what someone like me has to battle through, being myself, especially with where I'm at. I'm an up-and-coming artist but still a young black kid who could be a victim to the system. 'For Us' is the conscience to balance this transition: Do you let it get to your head or do you keep pushing?"
