Rema Drops Romantic New Single “Bout U” — A Smooth Follow-Up to His Chart-Topper “Baby (Is It A Crime)”
Nigerian global sensation Rema is back with a fresh release titled Bout U, a sultry and emotionally rich track that follows the success of his previous hit, Baby (Is It A Crime). This new single sees the superstar dive into familiar yet elevated territory—romance, longing, and irresistible charm.
On Bout U, Rema weaves a love story layered with both tenderness and assurance. The standout line, “there is something about you girl,” serves as the emotional core of the song—a repeated confession that captures the intensity of his affection. With lyrics that speak of devotion and protectiveness, Rema makes it clear that no rival stands a chance at winning over the woman who holds his heart.
Sonically, Bout U leans into smooth Afro-R&B, underpinned by a sensual electric guitar riff and lush production that evokes a nostalgic feel. Fans online have quickly caught onto the track’s homage to the early 2000s Nigerian classic Something About You by Faze, praising the subtle interpolation that ties past and present together seamlessly.
The song is produced by London, one of Rema’s long-time collaborators whose signature style once again proves a perfect match for the artist’s sound. The production is understated yet captivating, allowing Rema’s voice and emotional delivery to take center stage without sacrificing the groove.
With two standout singles now in rotation, speculation is growing around a possible larger project—perhaps an upcoming EP or album. The thematic consistency and sonic direction of these releases suggest that Rema may be building toward a more expansive musical chapter.
For now, Bout U reaffirms Rema’s position as one of the leading voices in African music—effortlessly blending lyrical depth, genre innovation, and wide emotional appeal.
🎧 Listen to Bout U now and stay tuned—because if Rema’s recent run is anything to go by, the best may still be on the way.
