Davido’s infectious single “With You,” a standout track from his acclaimed album 5IVE, has solidified its place as one of 2025’s defining songs. Released with its vibrant, Tempoe-produced rhythm, the track’s breezy melodies have captivated listeners worldwide, inspiring sing-alongs at public events and spawning countless viral social media moments. The recently unveiled music video, directed by Dammy Twitch, has amplified the song’s carefree spirit, pushing it to new heights with over 3 million YouTube views in just days.
The video features Davido alongside Afrobeats sensation Omah Lay, whose synergy brings the song’s lively energy to life. “You’d think Davido and Omah Lay wouldn’t connect like that — I’m very out there, he’s super chill,” Davido shared in a press statement. “But from our first phone call, we talked for about 40 minutes.
When he met me at Paris Fashion Week, we properly connected — it just made sense.” Their chemistry shines through, complemented by vibrant choreography and colourful backdrops, from Omah Lay’s streaked settings to the dynamic dancers amplifying Davido’s verses.

Adding a nostalgic touch, the video includes rap act Deto Black as a video vixen and pays homage to highlife legend Bright Chimezie, whose 1984 record inspired “With You.” A viral interaction between Davido and Chimezie highlighted this intergenerational connection, adding depth to the project’s cultural resonance. Dammy Twitch’s direction keeps the visuals simple yet striking, letting the song’s joyful vibe take centre stage.
Within 24 hours of its release, the “With You” video soared past 1 million YouTube views, now exceeding 3 million—a testament to Davido’s enduring status as one of Africa’s biggest music stars.

The tour promises an electrifying blend of new-school energy and Davido’s signature charisma, uniting artists driven by a shared passion for making the world dance.
As “With You” continues to dominate airwaves and playlists, Davido’s ability to craft globally resonant hits while bridging generations and genres reaffirms his influence in Afrobeats and beyond.
