"Bongsibon" was written in October of 2000 by Peiderezek, and was originally written under the title ''Sho Cele 'Pesele Lu'' (She Was Lovin' Me). "Bongsibon" was the only track not recorded at Dekyenu Studios, instead being recorded and produced in March of 2001, whilst Peiderezek was battling the Azkali plague, in his home. Despite being one of the comparatively lesser commercially successful singles from the album, "Bongsibon" was still praised, with critics particularly praising its R&B influence and synthesizer work. It charted at #6 on the ''Ukilen Music'' Top 100 Singles for nineteen weeks.

The last track recorded on the album, "Epeselo Hu Le Sozhedele Sode" was written, recorded, and produced in fourty minutes on the 19th of August 2001. It was written after Peiderezek impulsively decided to include a "classical" track on the album. Dsim protested, but relented after Peiderezek threatened to quit the project altogether and abandon the album. Based off of a musical sketch he had composed weeks prior, Peiderezek wrote a piano part for Dsim to play, and sang improvised — the final version on the album was recorded in one take. On LPs and CDs, "Epeselo Hu Le Sozhedele Sode" was included as a hidden track thirty seconds after "Dedeyo" finished. Despite not being released as a single, "Epeselo Hu Le Sozhedele Sode" was praised by critics and became one of Peiderezek's most frequently played and covered songs. Baphian critic Jezang Begaja praised the track for " it's charming relief from the angst and languish filled tracks of the second half of [''Mujekesi Soyandoze''] [...] it provides a good relief; it feels like a warm hug". "Epeselo Hu Le Sozhedele Sode" would become a staple of Peiderezek's career, later being re-recorded on his album ''Kele Sinceyudefonu Tezhetsogewe'', re-recorded as a duet with singer [xyz] on his ''Ele'', re-recorded with funk and R&B influences on his album ''sozhe,'' re-recorded with hard rock influence on his mixtape ''Shile Biyefonu'', and re-recorded with hip-hop, jazz, and quiet storm influence on his mixtape ''Dazhenabi''.
