Nigerian music superstar Davido has dropped a dynamic new single, “Be There Still,” blending Afrobeat with contemporary sounds, as anticipation mounts for his fifth studio album, “5IVE.” The hit track, released on Friday, comes as fans eagerly await the album’s scheduled release on April 18, 2025.
Davido, who recently took to his official X account with the caption “Midnight we feast,” unveiled the song as a prelude to what he describes as a deeply personal project. “5IVE is a reflection of my story, my truth, and my growth,” he declared, urging his followers—“the dreamers, the go-getters, and everyone chasing what’s theirs”—to join him on his journey.
The production of “Be There Still” boasts a powerhouse team, featuring Marvey Muzique, DJ Maphorisa, and Black Culture, with mixing handled by D-RO. This marks another high-energy release from the 5-time Grammy-nominated artist, who has continually reinvented his sound to captivate both local and global audiences.
Previously, Davido teased his upcoming album by releasing two singles, “Funds,” featuring gritty verses from Odumodublvck alongside smooth melodies from Chike, and “Awuke,” featuring YG Marley. These tracks have set the stage for what many expect to be a transformative moment in his career.
As Davido pushes forward with “5IVE,” his words resonate with an enduring commitment to his artistry and the Nigerian music scene. “Thank you for riding with me. Let’s make history again!” he exclaimed, a rallying cry that underscores his intent to leave an indelible mark on the industry once more.
With “Be There Still” now out in the wild, fans and critics alike will be watching closely as Davido’s narrative of reinvention and resilience continues to unfold.
