'Matadors' was written during a period when Jōviky was watching a lot of social justice documentaries and biopics. He constantly found himself searching for clues from the past on how to conquer the systems of racism that he felt buried under. At times, this search for understanding made he feel drained and somewhat hopeless, so Jōviky turned to feel good movies to help balance out the negative emotions he was struggling with. The track 'Matadors' is an exact reflection of the turmoil in Jōviky mind wanting to fight the good fight but also wanting to escape his troubles and focus on Black Joy.
