Rema’s Returns With New Single ‘Bout U’

Nigerian music sensation Rema continues to captivate audiences with his innovative sound, seamlessly merging nostalgic elements with contemporary rhythms. His latest single, “Bout U,” exemplifies this fusion, drawing listeners into a musical journey that bridges the past and the present.

​The track  fuses elements of classic Nigerian R&B with modern Afro-R&B sounds. This blend evokes the dulcet harmonies and guitar-driven instrumentals reminiscent of early 2000s Nigerian boy bands, creating a sense of nostalgia while maintaining a fresh and current appeal.

In “Bout U,” Rema delves into a heartfelt romantic narrative, expressing deep admiration and affection for his muse. The lyric, “there is something about you girl,” encapsulates the song’s essence—a passionate declaration of love and devotion. The melody is characterized by its sensual rhythm, complemented by a distinctive electric guitar riff that adds depth and allure to the composition.

Produced by London, a frequent collaborator known for his work on several of Rema’s hits, “Bout U” benefits from their established synergy. The production strikes a balance between lush arrangements and minimalist beats, ensuring that Rema’s emotive vocals remain the focal point.

The release of “Bout U” follows closely on the heels of Rema’s earlier 2025 single, “Baby (Is It a Crime),” which achieved remarkable streaming numbers, including the second-highest opening day for an African song. This rapid succession of singles has sparked speculation about a forthcoming EP or full-length album, with fans eagerly awaiting further developments.
