Nigerian global sensation Rema is back in the spotlight with his latest single, Bout U — a seductive and emotionally rich follow-up to his chart-topping hit Baby (Is It A Crime).
On Bout U, Rema slips into romantic mode, serenading his muse with a heartfelt mix of longing and assurance. The track’s central line, “there is something about you girl,” becomes the emotional anchor of the song, capturing his obsession with her essence and his unshakable devotion.
With declarations of undying love and firm confidence that no rival could win her over, Rema delivers a message of passion and loyalty wrapped in velvety vocals.
Sonically, the single leans into a mellow Afro-R&B groove, accentuated by a hypnotic electric guitar riff that adds depth and sensuality.

Fans have been quick to pick up on the nostalgic energy running through the track — a clever nod to Faze’s early 2000s classic Something About You — giving the song a beautiful blend of new-school polish and old-school soul.
The production, courtesy of longtime collaborator London, once again proves to be a winning formula. London’s sleek, understated beat provides the perfect canvas for Rema’s emotive delivery, highlighting their continued synergy and musical alignment.
With two well-received singles dropping in quick succession, whispers of an upcoming project are growing louder. Whether it’s a surprise EP or a full-blown album, all signs point to Rema building toward something significant.
For now, Bout U adds another gem to his growing discography — a love anthem that reaffirms why Rema remains one of the most compelling and innovative voices in African music today.
