Davido – With You Ft Omah Lay

“With You” is a fan-favorite standout from Davido‘s 5ive album, featuring the mesmerizing vocals of Afrobeats star Omah Lay. The track is a beautiful, mid-tempo fusion that leans into the emotive side of Afrobeats, powered by an infectious, hiplife-tinged instrumental that makes it both introspective and utterly danceable.

Lyrically, the song is a powerful confession of unwavering love, commitment, and desire. Omah Lay kicks it off, delivering his signature soft, soul-baring vocals that perfectly capture the feeling of longing and emotional attachment: “I can’t picture this world—without you in my life, oh oh oh oh, baby.” His verse is smooth, creating a warm, cozy vibe against the cold weather imagery.

Davido then takes over, bringing his characteristic energy and melodic flair, blending English, Pidgin, and Igbo phrases. He uses evocative and humorous lines to praise his lover’s natural beauty and express his devotion, proclaiming, “Omoge too fine, no be makeup, oh” (The girl is too beautiful, no makeup needed). His line, “I no wan punish, woah, woah, woah, I wantu punish you, idiarabanko,” is a playful declaration of wanting to lavish affection on his beloved.

The seamless chemistry between the two artists turned this track into one of the album’s biggest hits—a true “African classic,” as Davido himself later called it, despite revealing he almost cut it from the final tracklist. It’s a testament to the power of a perfect Afrobeats collaboration.
