Award-winning Nigerian singer Fireboy DML has released the official music video for Hell and Back, a powerful visual representation of love, pain, and resilience.
Dropped on March 6th, 2025, the video amplifies the song’s emotional depth with stunning cinematography and a gripping storyline.
As the fourth track from his fourth studio album, Adedamola, Hell and Back blends Fireboy’s signature soulful vocals with introspective lyrics.
The song explores themes of heartbreak and endurance, making it one of the most personal and evocative tracks on the project.
The video opens with a car engulfed in flames, setting the tone for a story filled with passion and turmoil. The scene rewinds to reveal Fireboy and his love interest, waking up from a crash—alive but shaken.
The accident wasn’t just a coincidence; it was the result of a heated argument, symbolizing a relationship that spiraled out of control before reaching a devastating breaking point.
Lyrically, Hell and Back narrates the story of a lover who, after causing deep emotional wounds, suddenly wants to return. Fireboy, caught between frustration and disbelief, questions why she feels entitled to a second chance. He likens the experience to surviving a journey through hell and back, capturing the raw pain of a love that has left scars.
