Anything

Davido

I said it during one of my listening sessions with Martel. This was the song that kinda got me into the rhythm for putting this album (5IVE)

together. We made it in Malibu. We were in Malibu having a good time around March 2024. My manager (Asa Asika) brought some stuff from Loudaa (the

producer) and the beat for Anything was one of them ones. I have a really good production team around me and we are able to get things done no

matter where I am and when the original producer is not in the same place as me. We had a set up in Malibu. I recorded it during the trip. It’s a

song about my journey through the music industry. I always like to dabble into those kinds of things, to remind people of how long I’ve been here,

because people tend to forget. Just obstacles that we’ve passed, and conquered. So anything that has been put in front of you, any bumper, any

obstacles can be overridden. Be There Still I recorded Be There Still in Lagos, about two Decembers ago (2023). Obviously, it’s the same kind of

message like I said on Anything (another Davido song). Many will go, many will come but I will be here still… You know, my longevity in the game.

What people don’t understand is that when I’m in my cycle of recording, I go to the studio everyday. So I remember we made this in Lagos and it’s a

song about my life and story. It’s just Davido.

So with this one, I woke up from one of those naps where you’re sweating. You just took an evening nap, and you wake up, and it

seems like a war just happened. I see like seven missed calls on Snapchat, and it’s from Tycoone, who’s David’s creative director.

I hit him back, and he’s like, “Where are you? David wants to see you.” I’m like, “What the fuck? Alright, bet.” So, I pull up and

we go to this place called Shisha Lounge back then. David has this whole entourage, and there were so many people around him. I

think Peruzzi was with him at that time, and this producer called Fresh. I wanted to sit on the other side because there were so

many people, but Davido called me over to sit right beside him. I was nervous as hell. I was very antisocial at that time. He then

told me to start playing music, and I played “outcast,” then I played “falling,” and he said, “Them go love you for Yankee.” He

then asks me to play him stuff I’d not worked on, and I had the beat for “divine” from Hvrry, the producer. The beat only played

for three seconds, and he was like, “Yeah, this is the one.” That was the first time I’d ever seen someone do that; he hadn’t even

heard the beat for long enough, but he was just like, “Let’s go.” So, we got into the cars and we went to Eko Hotels. He rented

out a suite, and we set up there to work on the song. He kind of added some production stuff; it was the first time I’d seen him

work in person, so it was interesting to see how involved he was in the process. Later on, I found out that he used to produce

music. Working with him was interesting. I feel like if life permits it, and we work on music together again, it would always be

interesting because there’s a certain understanding of production.
