Afrobeats queen Tiwa Savage is ushering in summer 2025 with the release of her latest single, You4Me.
Released today April 23, You4Me samples the timeless R&B classic Into You by American star Tamia, blending Tiwa Savage’s dreamy vocals with nostalgic melodies that pay homage to her early musical influences. The result is a fresh yet familiar sound that bridges classic R&B and contemporary Afrobeats.
The single follows her recent collaboration with UK music icon Craig David on Commitment, a track that further signaled her growing lean toward R&B. Craig David, widely recognized in Nigeria for early 2000s hits like 7 Days and Walking Away, adds a nostalgic layer to a song that has been well-received by fans and critics alike.
You4Me sets the tone for Tiwa’s forthcoming studio album, which appears to be carving out a more R&B-centric direction—marking a new chapter in her ever-evolving soundscape.
Beyond music, 2025 has already been a remarkable year for the superstar. Tiwa Savage was recently honored with the prestigious Media Icon Award by Forbes Africa, a testament to her influence both on and off the stage.
Since bursting onto the Nigerian mainstream scene over a decade ago, Tiwa Savage has remained a formidable force in African music. With a trailblazing career defined by numerous chart-topping hits and international milestones, she has become a central figure in the rise of female voices in Afrobeats.
Among her historic achievements is becoming the first Nigerian artist to perform at a British royal coronation—flying the flag for Africa at the coronation of King Charles III in 2023.
As anticipation builds for her upcoming album, You4Me offers a melodic preview of what promises to be another defining era in the career of one of Nigeria’s most celebrated icons.
