Originally released in 2019 as a lead single from his Grammy-nominated album African Giant, On The Low enjoyed widespread commercial success across multiple continents. The song has previously earned gold certifications in the UK, Canada, Sweden, Switzerland, Netherlands, and Denmark.
Burna Boy’s influence in the US market extends beyond certifications.

To further promote the album, Burna Boy is set to embark on a North American tour that will see him headline arenas across major cities in the US, further solidifying his transatlantic dominance and cultural reach.
With On The Low now certified Platinum in America, Burna Boy’s global legacy continues to grow, one hit at a time.
