Next.js needs to be Re-Built for Tailwind CSS changes to take Effect

I am applying certain style changes to my code (e.g., giving an element bg- colour) but need to rebuild Next.js (delete node_modules and .next folders) for them to take place.

This doesn't seem to affect styles already present in the file though. If I already have bg-pink-500 in the file prior, if I style another element with the same colour, the style gets applied. However, if the style hasn't been applied in the file before, that is when I need to re-build.

Wonder if anyone has any input on why this could be happening.

What I have tried?
- Re-install Tailwind
- Create a new Next.js Project (where Tailwind changes are applied as expected)
- I tried everything on this: https://dev.to/plainsailing/tailwind-css-not-working-its-probably-this-9m4
