The song NON was not supposed to be sung by Madilu System, Luambo Makiadi Franco had anticipated the song, to be sung by his TPOK JAZZ crème de la crème vocalists, like Josky Kiambukuta & Ntesa Dalienst. But since Josky Kiambukuta and Ntesa were among the vocalists who were arrested for singing HELLENI & JACKY in 1978. They did not want to be on the wrong side of the law once again. They refused to sing this song because the song "NON" attacks "UGLY WOMEN". They feared that someone could file a complain for them to be sent to jail again.

Madilu was new in OK JAZZ, he had joined on 8th April 1980. And since things were not favoring him, because Luambo Franco was harsh towards him. He was planning to flee to Swiss with his friends. He accidentally met Luambo as he was about to step out, then Luambo asked him to follow him upstairs, there was a melody of a song that he wanted Madilu to save for him in a cassette tape. They went upstairs and practiced as they recorded their voices. Then Luambo played that tape, in their car while running errands in the city of Brussels, with his late wife Madam ANNIE MBULI. Madam ANNIE MBULI liked the vocals and convinced Franco to do a recording with Madilu System in studio. This is the song that raised Madilu System's star in OK JAZZ.
