The production immediately sets the tone: Djy Bless and Tkcreedlion build a sound that is moody yet captivating, defined by mellow log drums, shimmering pads, and understated piano chords.

As the song progresses, there’s a subtle shift from despair to determination. The beat evolves, the melodies become more uplifting, and the emotional tone shifts toward hope.

At its core, Back To Being Broke is about authenticity — stripping away pretense and reconnecting with the raw emotions that drive personal growth. The synergy between the producers and Brodie.Bro’s performance gives the track a cinematic quality, where every note feels intentional and every lyric resonates.
