After weeks of building excitement, global Afrobeats superstar Davido has finally unveiled the much-anticipated visuals for his chart-topping single “With You” featuring the soulful Omah Lay.
Since the song’s release, “With You” has become a certified sensation across streaming platforms and social media, particularly TikTok, where its infectious rhythm and catchy chorus have inspired countless viral dance challenges. Riding high on this momentum, Davido has now delivered a vibrant music video to match the song’s massive appeal.
Directed by renowned cinematographer Dammy Twitch, the music video is a kaleidoscope of colour, rhythm, and energy. It beautifully captures the essence of the record, blending dynamic choreography with the electric aura of celebration. The scenes are packed with dancers recreating the viral social media moves that helped propel the song to fame.
Released on YouTube on June 16, 2025, the video marks the latest visual installment from Davido’s critically acclaimed fifth studio album, ‘5ive’. The album, which boasts 17 powerful tracks and heavyweight collaborations from both Nigerian and international stars, has been hailed as Davido’s most genre-bending and culturally rooted project yet.
Among the standout elements of “With You” is its unique sonic identity, a rich fusion of Highlife and Funk, genres popularized in Nigeria during the 1970s and 80s. Produced by the hitmaker Tempoe, the track pays homage to Nigerian music heritage, drawing inspiration from Highlife legend Bright Chimezie’s classic track “Because of English.”
In a nostalgic and heartwarming twist, Bright Chimezie himself makes a cameo in the music video, showcasing his signature dance moves alongside Davido and Omah Lay. The appearance bridges generations of Nigerian music and stands as a tribute to the genre’s lasting influence.
“With You” has quickly become a fan-favourite from ‘5ive’, and with this new video, Davido cements its place as a strong contender for Song of the Year.
As he continues to dominate the global stage, the 5-time Grammy nominee is set to hit the road with his ‘5 Alive’ tour, which will cover 13 cities, including stops in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. Notable dates include performances at the iconic Scotiabank Arena (19,000 capacity) and Place Bell (10,000 seats), where fans can expect high-octane shows and unforgettable live experiences.
With each release, Davido continues to push the boundaries of Afrobeats, blending heritage and innovation to create music that resonates globally. “With You” is yet another shining example of his artistic brilliance.
