The themes of the songs tackle many important concepts: creativity, nature, animal love, music, freedom, farming, sailing, overcoming the fear of war, the alphabet, the days of the week, in addition to two lullabies.

Tania Saleh released her album to address the challenges faced by Lebanese and Levantine families who have immigrated worldwide due to ongoing instability in the region. Many children of the diaspora struggle with speaking Arabic fluently and are increasingly disconnected from the cultural values their parents grew up with. Even children still living in Lebanon often speak different languages based on the schools they attend. Saleh's goal was to unite these children through original content in their common dialect, making it engaging and relatable. By doing so, she aims to help preserve their mother tongue and cultural heritage.
