Simi returns with a beautifully crafted new single titled “Where You Dey,” featuring Nigerian soul star Chike, and it’s nothing short of magical.
Five years after their era-defining collaboration “Running (To You),” the duo reunites to prove that their musical chemistry is timeless.
Released under Simi’s Studio Brat imprint, Where You Dey is a tender, emotionally rich love song that captures both nostalgia and growth, showing just how far the two artists have evolved individually and together.
Now firmly established as a leading voice in alternative Afropop, Simi brings her signature clarity and warmth, while Chike, fondly known as the Boo of the Booless, delivers his unmistakable soulful depth.
Despite their artistic evolution, their connection remains effortless, resulting in a track that feels intimate, mature, and deeply resonant.
Produced by long-time collaborator DeeYasso, the song rests on a lush mid-tempo foundation, drawing inspiration from highlife and R&B. Gentle guitar riffs, smooth percussion, and a steady groove create a serene soundscape that allows the vocals to shine.

Simi’s bright, crystalline tone contrasts beautifully with Chike’s rich baritone, and when they meet in the chorus, their voices intertwine so seamlessly that the harmony feels almost instinctive.
Lyrically, Where You Dey explores longing, presence, and emotional availability in an increasingly busy and disconnected world. Rather than leaning into overused romantic clichés, the song focuses on the everyday moments that sustain real love: checking in, showing up, and simply being there. Simi brings her trademark wit and relatability, while Chike adds emotional weight and lover-boy sincerity.
In a music landscape dominated by high-energy solo records, Where You Dey stands out as a refreshing return to the art of the classic duet. Calm, elegant, and deeply heartfelt, it’s the kind of song destined for wedding playlists throughout 2026.
With this release, Simi and Chike don’t just deliver another love song—they reaffirm their status as the undisputed royalty of Nigerian romantic music, reminding listeners why their collaborations remain unmatched.
