Produced by Daseca Productions, When U Feel Lonely is included on Mavado's EP titled Invisible, which was released in November 2012. Other songs featured on the EP are Invisible, Believe U, Aktion Pak and Gyal Wine. The song was previously featured on the Greensleeves Records compilation The Biggest Ragga Dancehall Anthems of 2011. While he has never charted on the UK Singles chart, Mavado has had two entries on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Weh Dem a Do (produced by Delly Ranx) and featured on the Redbull & Guinness rhythm, rose to #27 in 2007, and #20 on the Hot Rap Songs chart. So Special stalled at #52 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart in late 2008.
