This announcement is an unexpected turn after Rema posted a viral video of them hugging and her giving him a peck which sparked a lot of rumors and speculation from curious fans. The video was apparently made backstage during one of Rema’s concerts on his ongoing tour in the US.

Selena also posted a snippet on her social media with a pre-save link teasing her fans about the upcoming collab. Both fan bases are super excited about the possibilities that this song can open up for both artists and can’t wait to hear more.

The current trend of young Nigerian artists collaborating with huge international acts is welcome and quite beautiful to see. With artists like Burna boy, Wizkid, Tems, Davido, Fireboy, and others making big international hits with major international acts, this song will hopefully be another addition to the growing collection of international collaborations that are nothing short of amazing.
