British-Nigerian rapper and singer Darkoo has returned with another bold statement in music, dropping her vibrant new single ‘Like Dat,’ a follow-up to her recent release, Focus On Me (All The Sexy Girls In The Club).
Born Oluwafisayo Isa, the Lagos-born, London-raised star continues to blaze a trail in the Afro-swing genre, blending African rhythms with UK influences.
Produced by the dynamic trio of Sparbz, Enzo, and French, Like Dat is a pulsating anthem filled with confidence, sensuality, and the signature smoothness that has become synonymous with Darkoo’s sound.
The song builds on the momentum of her 2019 breakout hit ‘Gangsta’ featuring One Acen—which charted at No. 22 on the UK Singles Chart—and fan favourite ‘Favourite Girl’, reinforcing her status as a global genre-bender.
Laced with lyrics such as:
“I like the things you do / Girl, I’ll be good for you / I think I’m meant for you / Girl, hold me down, always,”
the track radiates themes of connection and admiration, set to an infectious beat that invites movement and celebration.

Visually, the song is brought to life through a colourful and stylish music video directed by Sam Fallover, which perfectly matches the energetic spirit of the record.
Like Dat also reflects Darkoo’s bicultural upbringing, drawing from her Lagos roots and London upbringing—a theme she previously explored on her acclaimed 2021 EP ‘2 In 1’.
Since its release, the single has been gaining momentum online and on streaming platforms, with fans praising its catchy melody, feel-good energy, and Darkoo’s lyrical dexterity.
With past collaborations featuring stars like Rema, Tion Wayne, and Ayra Starr, Darkoo continues to strengthen her presence in the global Afrobeats and Afro-fusion arena.
Her latest offering is more than just a dance track—it’s a reaffirmation of her place in the cultural crossover shaping modern African music.
