Tiwa Savage drops first song of 2025

Known for her powerhouse vocals and trendsetting sound, the superstar teased the new track for days, building anticipation and sparking speculation about the song’s theme and production style across social media.

You4Me is a heartfelt ode to love. It was released in the early hours (midnight) of Wednesday, April 23, and marks the beginning of a landmark year for the Kele Kele Love crooner, who has hinted that her next album might be her last, leaving fans wondering if a larger project will follow.

The song comes off her recent collaboration with British-born RnB singer, Craig Ashley David, well known as Craig David in Commitment. Craig David, who is popular in Nigeria for his hit single 7 Days and Walking Away off his classic 2000 album Born To Win.

Just like the title suggests, You4Me is a sweet, simple love song that embodies the essence of RnB, crafted specially for fans of the genre who crave soulful melodies. The Water & Garri hitmaker taps into her soft side with a soulful ode to being deeply seen, wanted, and chosen.

A smooth RnB and Soul number, Tiwa Savage combines her surreal melodies with Tamia’s sampling for a song that delivers a rush of nostalgia with a refreshing modern touch that embraces her multiple influences. “For my RnB lovers,” she said in a post announcing the song release.

With her powerful vocals and genre-bending artistry, the self-professed original ‘Africa bad girl’ is poised to dominate 2025. The song might be part of her upcoming album, which she seems to have titled This One Is Personal.

The year 2025 has gotten off to an eventful start for the Berkeley trained songstress and superstar who was recently awarded the Media Icon Award by Forbes Africa. The recognition is another feather in the colourful cap of the award-winning singer, whose illustrious career has made her one of the most iconic artistes of the 21st century in Nigerian music.

Since breaking into the Nigerian mainstream over a decade ago, Tiwa Savage has become one of Nigeria’s most celebrated artistes. Her collection of hit records has catapulted her to the summit of Nigerian music while also making her one of the backbones for the female arm of the industry.

Among some of Tiwa Savage’s major strides is being the first Nigerian artiste to perform at the British Royal Coronation ceremony when she flew the Nigerian and the African continent’s flag at the coronation of King Charles III.

You4Me is the soundtrack for late-night love confessions. So whether you are in love, falling in love, or manifesting it, press play and get into the mood with You4Me. The song continues to set the tone for her upcoming album, which appears to be taking an R&B direction.
