Hey Ammar.

You need to specify the duration

transition-duration: .5s;

You can shorten your properties to one line

transition: background 5s .5s;

Writing

transition: background 5s .5s;

is the same as

transition-property: background;
transition-delay: 5s;
transition-duration: .5s;

but in only one line of code.
