This marks a significant moment for the track, featured on Davido’s highly anticipated fifth studio album, 5ive, released on April 18, 2025, through Davido Music Worldwide, RCA Records, and Sony Music UK.

A Chart-Topping Journey

“With You” has been gaining traction since its debut, with X posts from @DAVIDO_STATS chronicling its impressive climb.

Its success extends beyond streaming platforms, with the track generating significant buzz on social media, particularly on TikTok, where influencers like Peller and Carter Efe have created viral dance challenges to its infectious rhythm.

A Powerful Collaboration

“With You” is the 17th track on Davido’s 5ive album, a 17-song project that features an array of international and African artists, including Chris Brown, Victoria Monét, YG Marley, and Victony. The collaboration with Omah Lay, known for his introspective Afro-fusion sound, blends seamlessly with Davido’s energetic and charismatic delivery. Omah Lay’s emotive verses, paired with Davido’s vibrant ad-libs and heartfelt lyrics, create a track that explores themes of love, loyalty, and intimacy.

The genesis of this collaboration traces back to a serendipitous moment in 2024 when Davido, while hosting American streamer Kai Cenat in Nigeria, played an Omah Lay song during a car ride. This led to a conversation that dispelled Omah Lay’s misconception that Davido harbored any ill feelings toward him. “I love your music,” Davido reportedly told Omah Lay, sparking the idea to work together. The result is a track that Davido himself ranks among his top three, a testament to the mutual respect and creative synergy between the two artists.
