Burna Boy discloses the best song he’s ever written and discusses the recording process.
Nigerian Afro-fusion superstar Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, known professionally as Burna Boy, has revealed his best creation amongst his songs, shedding light on the captivating journey of its recording process.
Burna Boy referred to the song “If I’m Lying” from his most recent album, “I Told Them,” as the best song he ever produced while discussing the recording process.
In the video from his interview posted on X, Burna Boy confirmed that ‘If I’m Lying’, track 14 from ‘I Told Them’, is his best song ever, agreeing with the interviewer who had first mentioned the song as his own favourite.
The interviewer asked Burna Boy what he thought of the song, saying that in his perspective, “If I’m Lying” might be the best thing you’ve ever done.
Burna Boy nodded in agreement and continued by explaining how the song came to be while he was on tour. He couldn’t agree more with the remark.
He revealed that ‘If I’m Lying’ happened after he was done with recording his verse on the late Indian rapper Sidhu Moose Wala’s posthumously released song ‘Mera Na’ with Steel Banglez, the producer, who had flew in from the UK to finish the song with Burna Boy.
‘Steel Banglez goes to the Water Front and was there for hours’, he said sharply, ‘listening to the water with his laptop. Later he comes back and plays that shit [beat]. It was raining that day. It was spiritual’.
Watch him speak:
“If I’m Lying is the best song I have ever made”
