Song Story

Initially, when I made “Somebody Like You”, the intention was to create something different, compared to what was already out in the market for Afrobeats. I just was sifting

through different like beats with SARZ, just trying to find something that I felt was kind of unique in a sense. Then he played the beat for Somebody Like You, and I

instantly just gravitated towards it. It just felt very nostalgic. I think the lyrics kind of just followed in that same direction. Once I started singing to it, the first

thing that just came out of my mouth was; “summertime in Abuja… reliving the simpler days”. I just kind of built the idea from there. It actually took a while to finish

because after I created the first verse, I had other ideas for a chorus and everything. I revisited the song sometime after, and when I did, it just felt like everything I

needed to say in the song had just come. So I kind of scrapped everything and started with just the first verse and just entered into a new vibe with the song. The song kind

of made itself in a way, because over time, I think it was just a reflection of all the things I was feeling based on the nostalgia the instrumentals was giving me and

everything. I just felt like I knew what and who I wanted to talk about with that song. And that (person) was my first love. It all ended up being Somebody Like You.
