Background
PdotO revealed that the idea to work on the album was inspired by the works of Damien Rice in 2004. He went on to add a part of Damien Rice’s Cold Water at the end of his Idols to Idols featuring Zubz. Explaining his album: "Cold Waters is an idea I have had since 2004. It’s been at the back of my mind since I heard the song Cold Water by one of my favorite artists ‘Damien Rice in 2004. It sparked everything. I knew I wanted to use that idea, I even wrote a screenplay under that name eventually it morphed into the album. So it’s been in my head since then, and most of my concepts have been in my head for years, but roughly it took six months to put the album together."

Singles
"Kingdom Come" is the second song that was released on 10 May 2019 and featured singer Thokozile.

The last song "Dear God" contained overt spiritual connotations. The music video of the song was recorded by Fine Pictures and released on 24 January 2020. The visuals were black and white and the scenery of the shot was mainly focused on the rapper singing and expressing his feelings to God.
