I recorded this one in Malibu (2024). I got the song sent from Ubi Franklin. He sent me the idea, he has producers. He

was doing a recording camp at the time. I was like come, just fly to Cali. I got his ticket so he came with some

material. I hadn’t met the producer before, but I have an amazing engineering team around me that makes me feel like the

producer is there. We penned Awuke, it was written by Moonlight Afriqa. I wasn’t gonna record the song. We were chilling

in the parlor, me Chris Brown and his friend when the song caught me. I was like, this is vibey o. Chris Brown’s friend,

he’s Nigerian. He was like “you better record that”. At this time, I and YG Marley were trying to figure out a record,

so I just sent it to him. He nailed it. He came to Nigeria for the video shoot. It was an amazing process.

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.
