Speaking about the collaboration, Smith said to Billboard, “Making this with P2J and WizKid felt really easy. We wrote and recorded it together in London.

“I think we captured that feeling when you’re at the beginning of something with someone and everything feels exciting. I’ve always loved WizKid’s music and the way he’s opened so many doors for Afrobeats around the world, so it feels really special and a big honor to have a song with him.”

She added, “This album came together really naturally. There was never a big plan; it was just me making music that felt right in the moment.”

The release has already generated attention across streaming platforms and music publications.

The collaboration comes as Wizkid continues an active run of international features in 2026.

He also recently appeared on ‘Coca Body,’ a new single by Dutch rapper Frenna featuring British-Nigerian singer Odeal.
