Champion ft D Smoke
Fireboy might be a loverboy on most of his songs, but he can also be motivational and cocky if he wants to be. ‘Champion‘ is a victorious song that talks of Fireboy’s rise from an unknown struggling artist to a music star.
Sing ft Oxlade
Way before he became popular with ‘Jealous‘, Fireboy was already stealing hearts with his enchanting vocals on ‘Sing’.
‘Sing’ is an emotional song as he expresses his desire to just make good music.
“Badman just wants to sing,” he and Oxlade reveal to their listeners. The song was a prophetic one in a sense as a year later, the two artists would later make their big break in the Industry.
Dreamer
‘Dreamer‘ is Fireboy coming to terms with the fact that a one-sided relationship has only been hurting him. He questions his love interest who he believes has been leading him on with the lyrics “Am I only a dreamer?”
If he should ever release a remix of this, Adekunle Gold would be a good fit.
Favorite Song
Fireboy’s Sophmore album, ‘Apollo‘ didn’t exactly have many club bangers like his debut album, ‘LGT‘ did. But the few it did were worth listening to.
‘Favorite Song‘ has the feel of a hit Disco track and samples “Macarena” a Spanish dance song by Los del Río.
Tattoo
Most of Fireboy’s lyrics are PG-13 until he released ‘Tattoo‘ which contains erotic/sexual lyrics. The Afro R’n’B song is a must-add for any Sex playlist as Fireboy draws in his listeners with his Magnetic energy.

King
On ‘King‘, Fireboy is a Sexy alpha male confident of who he is that he tells his woman “Me I fit fight for your love, but I no fit beg for your love.”
Just like ‘Sing’, this song was released in 2018 but became popular after Fireboy’s rise to fame in 2019.
Need You
‘Need You‘ is one of Fireboy’s emotional songs thanks to the lyrics and his alluring vocals. It was one of the most beautiful Nigerian songs of 2019.
On the production, Pheelz created the same magic he did on ‘Orente’ for Adekunle Gold. With a beautiful chorus of acoustic guitars, Pheelz produces an inundating melody. Fireboy didn’t let him down. With his vocal prowess, he professes love.
Vibration
‘Vibration’ does what the name of the song suggests; makes its listeners vibrate to its pop-Esque beat which merges piano chords of late 2010s EDM with underlying guitar chords and a defining trumpet for the hook.
Fireboy brings adlibs, delivery, and vibes to match a beautiful beat on the song which is why it was no surprise that it was an instant hit.
Jealous
Every artist has their breakout song, for Fireboy, “Jealous‘ is that song. The song was first released as part of the tracks for the YBNL Mafia album in 2018 but didn’t gain popularity until 2019 when it was re-released. This was the turning point for Fireboy and his rise to stardom.
