Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Davido has released the much-anticipated visuals for With You, his standout collaboration with Omah Lay from the chart-topping 5ive album.
The music video, directed by renowned filmmaker Dammy Twitch under A Polar Film Production, features a special appearance by highlife legend Bright Chimezie, bringing cultural richness and generational fusion to the forefront.
With You samples Chimezie’s 2018 classic Because of English, produced by Tempoe. It blends highlife, funk, and contemporary Afrobeats into a sonically infectious experience.
The video deepens that fusion, weaving the vibrancy of modern Lagos with nostalgic callbacks to Nigeria’s musical heritage.
Shot in a kaleidoscope of vivid colors and lively urban settings, the video captures Davido’s electric charisma and Omah Lay’s emotive delivery, as they perform seamlessly against backdrops that pay homage to Nigeria’s eclectic aesthetic.
The highlight, however, is Chimezie’s magnetic cameo — dancing, smiling, and vibing to the beat in a powerful tribute to his enduring influence on Nigerian music.
The video arrives shortly after Davido’s viral video call with Chimezie, during which he openly expressed how Because of English inspired the record. Their meeting in Lagos solidified what fans now view as a historic moment in Nigerian pop culture, a bridge between eras.
With You is more than just a hit; it’s a celebration of legacy, continuity, and unity in sound. Social media has erupted in praise, with fans and critics alike hailing it as a “cultural reset” and a “visual masterpiece.” The song’s success adds another milestone to Davido’s impressive run, marking his sixth consecutive year with a No. 1 single in Nigeria.
With 5ive continuing to dominate charts, the With You video serves as a global reminder of Afrobeats’ roots, its growth, and the powerful stories it continues to tell past, present, and future.
