Nigerian breakout sensation FOLA has joined forces with Afrobeats powerhouse Kizz Daniel for their stirring new single, “Lost,” released under Dangbana Republik and Flyboy I.N.C.
Produced by the talented SBthaproducer (SB), Lost Signals FOLA’s first major release of 2025 and sets the stage for his much-anticipated project later in the year.
Following his notable guest appearances on Bella Shmurda’s Dangbana Riddim and Zlatan’s Get Better, FOLA is rapidly cementing his place as a rising force within the street-pop arena, while Kizz Daniel continues to demonstrate why he’s considered one of Afrobeats’ most consistent hitmakers.
Lost delivers a heartfelt Afro-fusion blend, where the unfiltered pulse of street-pop meets the polished groove of Afrobeats. The song dives deep into themes of heartbreak, self-exploration, and emotional resilience.
FOLA’s raw, textured vocals weave seamlessly with Kizz Daniel’s smooth, effortless tone, creating a powerful emotional dynamic.

Lyrics like “Olo mi jo, shanu mi jo, malo damu mi jo, ’cause I’m really lost, I’ve seen it all” capture an aching sense of vulnerability, while the reflective line “Kowa comfort mi, le mo body mi, ko yo burden mi ah, I know you got eyes on money mi” hints at deeper layers of trust and betrayal.
Already, the chorus has gone viral on TikTok, with fans echoing its emotional pull through creative dance and lip-sync videos.
SB’s production lays a rich, soulful foundation beneath the vocals, pairing rhythmic percussion with mellow melodies that magnify the song’s emotional core.
Ahead of its release, FOLA hosted an exclusive listening session where none other than Wizkid was spotted vibing to the track—giving an informal co-sign that only heightened the buzz.
After making waves with his 2024 hit Alone featuring Bhadboi OML—and its remix with BNXN—FOLA is steadily building a reputation as one of Nigeria’s most exciting new voices.
Meanwhile, Kizz Daniel, still riding high off the success of 2024’s Twe Twe and his collaboration Police with Angélique Kidjo and Johnny Drille, brings veteran polish and crossover appeal to the partnership.
With its potent storytelling, addictive beat, and the undeniable star power behind it, lost feels poised to become one of 2025’s standout anthems—bridging the raw authenticity of street culture with the expansive reach of mainstream Afrobeats.
