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.
