The titleI Against I presumably refers to the commonRastafarian phraseI and I, which is used in place of the first-person plural (i.e.we) to signify the union of the speaker, audience, andJah (God) in love and peace.

At the producer's suggestion, the vocals to "Sacred Love" were recorded over the phone from the prison where H.R. was serving time on a marijuana distribution charge.
