FOLA recruits Ayra Starr on his infectious tune “treat u right” off his next project.
Not only does the track “treat u right” unite two of Nigeria’s freshest talents, but it’s also a testament to the genre’s ability to tackle themes of love, respect, and emotional vulnerability.
The chorus, “treat u right,” is extremely catchy, with the two performers joining together to produce a melodious refrain that sticks around long after the song ends.
FOLA is in pole position on the single with a soulful stanza, his vocals full of heart. He sings about being polite, respectful and having unshakable support for a relationship.
The vocal from FOLA is sure and easy, generating a mood of affection and reassurance that runs through the song.
Ayra Starr’s arrival brings a new dimension to the song. Ayra’s signature style and voice are as passionate as they are vulnerable as she delivers her verse with strength.
She responds to FOLA’s promises, projecting her own needs and expectations in a relationship.
Her lyrics are about wanting a real connection with someone and respect for each other as she challenges her partner to make his words his deeds.
The conversational flow of the lyrics, featuring perspectives from FOLA and Ayra, contributes to the song’s intimate, authentic feel.
Special shoutout goes to Shallythechampion for the production, which amplified the emotional stakes without stealing focus from the singers.
Quotable Lyrics:
Mo like bo ṣe move diẹ diẹ, ah eh
Say I won’t treat you right
