Fireboy DML, the Nigerian artiste, has released the highly anticipated music video for ‘Back n Forth’, featuring Lagbaja, the iconic singer.
‘Back n Forth’ is the sixth track off ‘Adedamola’, Fireboy’s fourth studio album.
The song opens with Lagbaja’s incredible saxophone play and delves into the complexities of a relationship stuck in a cycle of indecision.
Fireboy expresses his yearning for a deeper connection, pleading for his love interest not to push him away, but to nurture their bond.
“What else should I do to let you know how I feel inside for you? Inside for you, can you feel the love? Inside, inside Ka jo ma back and forth and back and forth,” the lyrics read.
“B-b-back, soole, back and forth you and I, we could be, we could be so much more, yeah Şe temi, ma se ti ẹ.”
The song’s production is immaculate, with top-tier instrumentals that blend seamlessly with Fireboy’s falsetto and Yoruba-infused ad-libs. Lagbaja’s Afrojazz influence also elevates the song.
‘Back n Forth’ offers an indelible musical experience, crafted for endless replays.
The music video, directed by the renowned Clarence Peters, is a visual feast. It begins with a striking scene of masked saxophonists, led by Lagbaja himself.
It features a vintage aesthetic, with Fireboy and his love interest dressed in old-fashioned attire.
The video beautifully captures the synergy between the two artistes, as Fireboy serenades his partner amid Lagbaja’s graceful performance.
The climax sees the couple taking center stage as their love story unfolds in the spotlight.
