Kicking off 2025 with style, Nigerian singer-songwriter Runtown has returned with a brand-new single titled Do Me, released under his imprint, Soundgod Music.
Renowned for his genre-defying blend of Afrobeats, R&B, hip-hop, and a touch of reggae, Runtown once again shows off his signature versatility with a track that’s already sparking buzz among fans and tastemakers alike.
Following 2024’s Flow, this new release marks his first solo drop of the year and hints at a larger project in the works—one he’s been subtly teasing since late 2024.
Do Me rides a lush, mid-tempo Afrobeats wave, wrapped in pop appeal. Produced by Fadah, the track pulses with a rhythmic bassline and smooth, atmospheric layers that give it an irresistible summer-ready feel.
Runtown’s vocals glide with effortless charm, fusing laidback swagger and emotional nuance in a performance that feels both intimate and breezy. The addition of rich background harmonies elevates the track’s texture, earning it early praise for its sonic cohesion.
True to form, Runtown dives into themes of passion and longing—territory he’s long mastered. With lyrics that touch on romantic tension and desire, Do Me echoes the spirit of his 2016 smash Mad Over You, which reached No. 38 on the Billboard Twitter Top Tracks chart.
His delivery, paired with Fadah’s hypnotic production, creates an alluring synergy that makes the song instantly replayable. Clocking in at just over three minutes, it’s a tight, emotionally charged offering that leaves listeners wanting more.

Since emerging in 2007, Runtown has built a legacy of hits and milestones—from the chart-topping Gallardo featuring Davido in 2014 (which snagged Best Collaboration at the NEAs) to the commercial triumph of his debut album Ghetto University, which reportedly grossed over ₦35 million via MTN Music Plus.
With Do Me, Runtown appears ready to usher in a new era—one that bridges his core fanbase with a new generation attuned to the evolving Afrobeats soundscape.
As anticipation grows for his next major project, Do Me stands as a confident, compelling reintroduction. Smooth, seductive, and sonically rich, it’s another strong entry from the Soundgod—proof that Runtown still knows exactly how to deliver a hit.
