Naija fam! Brace yourselves for a sonic boom because Asake, the Afrobeat kingpin himself, just dropped his first single of 2024, and it’s hotter than jollof rice on a July afternoon. “Only Me” isn’t just a song, it’s a birthday anthem, a celebration of Asake’s 29th year on this planet, and a guaranteed party starter that’ll have you shaking your body like possessed at the next owambe.
Remember January 2022? That’s when Asake burst onto the scene with “Omo Ope,” the Olamide-assisted banger that sent shivers down spines and had everyone chanting his name. Since then, it’s been a non-stop rollercoaster ride for Asake. He’s slayed stages, collaborated with legends like Gunna on Sarz’s “Happiness,” and collected awards like they were going out of style. And now, with “Only Me,” he’s showing us why he’s not just a flash in the pan, but a star destined to shine brighter than the Lagos sun.

This track is a fusion fiesta, a delicious blend of Fuji, Pop, Hip Hop, and Gospel that’ll have you moving your feet and nodding your head before you even realize it. It’s got the energy of a Lagos street party, the smooth swagger of a Naija kingpin, and a melody so catchy it’ll be stuck in your head like eko on a plate.
But “Only Me” isn’t just about the vibes, it’s about the message. This is Asake’s declaration of self-belief, a reminder that even when the world throws shade, you gotta stay true to yourself, own your journey, and dance to your own drum. It’s a song for the hustlers, the dreamers, the everyday heroes who know that success is a solo mission, fueled by passion and hard work.

So, crank up the volume, grab your dancing shoes, and let “Only Me” wash over you. This is Asake’s birthday gift to Naija, and it’s one we should all unwrap with joy and let loose to the rhythm. Remember, 2024 is Asake’s year, and with tracks like this, it’s only going to get hotter from here. So, get ready to turn up, Naija fam, because Asake is just getting started!
P.S. Don’t forget to send all the good vibes Asake’s way as he heads to the Grammys in February. We’re rooting for you, king!
