This single and forthcoming album comes after the release of Wizkid’s fifth studio album More Love, Less Ego in 2022. He had major milestones around this previous album including his incredible Apple Music Live performance with Apple Music and his first-ever Madison Square Garden show in New York.

Throughout the years, Wizkid’s reached momentous career markers that have made him into the global superstar he is today. In 2020, he garnered a Grammy nomination for his RIAA-certified Gold album Made in Lagos, which has amassed over a billion streams. The album’s 2021 deluxe version had the Justin Bieber remixed lead single “Essence” (featuring Tems) that peaked at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, won a 2022 BET Award for “Best Collaboration” and a 2022 NAACP Image Award for “Outstanding International Song.” On top of all the accolades, he made history having the first Nigerian song to chart on both the Hot 100 and Global 200charts. The original Grammy nominated version of “Essence” featuring Tems is a 4x Platinum smash hit that reached #1 at Urban Radio and #1 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart. Other collaborators Wizkid has worked with previously include Ayra Starr, Chris Brown, Don Toliver, Skepta and more.
