Davido has given fans a behind-the-scenes look at the making of "Nakupenda," sharing how the song came together during an interview on Apple Music Radio.
The Afrobeats star explained that the record was created in a natural and relaxed setting, with everyone in the studio contributing to the creative process. According to Davido, the song came together effortlessly, with the chemistry in the room helping to shape its final sound.
One of the most interesting stories from the interview involved Zlatan. Davido revealed that when they visited Zlatan's studio to work on the song, the rapper started making spontaneous vocal expressions while listening to the record. At first, they weren't meant to be ad-libs, Zlatan was simply reacting to the song, saying things like, "What is this?"
Davido immediately loved the energy and insisted that those reactions be kept on the track as ad-libs, helping give "Nakupenda" some of its unique character. The singer also spoke about how some of his best songs are made without pressure, allowing ideas to flow freely. He said those spontaneous moments often lead to some of his strongest records.
The interview has given fans even more reason to look forward to Oriade, Davido's upcoming album, as they continue to learn more about the stories behind the music. Many are eager to hear "Nakupenda" and see how it fits into the overall project. With excitement building ahead of the album's release, Davido continues to give fans a glimpse into his creative journey, making the wait for Oriade even more exciting.
