Davido’s captivating single “With You,” a highlight from his celebrated album 5IVE, has established itself as one of the defining tracks of 2025.
Released with a lively rhythm produced by Tempoe, the song’s upbeat melodies have enchanted listeners around the globe, sparking singalongs at public events and leading to numerous viral moments on social media.
The recently released music video, directed by Dammy Twitch, has elevated the song’s carefree essence, achieving over 3 million YouTube views within just a few days.
The video showcases Davido alongside Afrobeats star Omah Lay, whose chemistry effectively brings the song’s vibrant energy to life.
“You’d assume that Davido and Omah Lay wouldn’t connect this well — I’m very outgoing, he’s incredibly laid-back,” Davido remarked in a press statement. “But during our first phone conversation, we spoke for around 40 minutes.
When he came to meet me at Paris Fashion Week, we truly connected — it all just made sense.” Their dynamic is evident, enhanced by lively choreography and vivid backdrops, ranging from Omah Lay’s striking settings to the energetic dancers elevating Davido’s verses.
Adding a nostalgic element, the video features rap artist Deto Black as a video vixen and pays tribute to highlife legend Bright Chimezie, whose 1984 record inspired “With You.”
A widely shared interaction between Davido and Chimezie further emphasized this intergenerational link, adding depth to the cultural significance of the project.
Dammy Twitch’s direction maintains the visuals in a straightforward yet impactful manner, allowing the song’s joyful atmosphere to shine.
Within a day of its release, the “With You” video surpassed 1 million views on YouTube, now exceeding 3 million—this milestone reinforces Davido’s lasting position as one of Africa’s premier music stars.
This achievement sets the stage for his forthcoming 5ive Alive Tour, featuring emerging Afropop artists Victony, Morravey, and ODUMODUBLVCK.
