Dave and Tems have treated fans to a special surprise with the release of the official music video for their hit collaboration, “Raindance”. The track first made waves upon its release as part of the British-Nigerian rapper’s chart-topping sophomore album, The Boy Who Played the Harp, quickly emerging as an early fan favorite.
The song wasted no time making its mark, debuting at No. 5 on the Official UK Singles Chart before climbing to a new peak of No. 3 in the first chart update of 2026. With its steady rise and growing momentum, the question now is whether “Raindance” has a shot at the top spot.
Arriving at the perfect moment, the romantic, party-infused visual gives the track an extra boost. Directed by Nathan James Tettey and shot in Lagos, Nigeria, the video captures the song’s smooth energy while celebrating its cross-cultural essence. The release follows Dave’s recent appearance in Tems’ video for “Mine,” further highlighting the creative synergy between the two artists.
“Raindance” joins standout tracks from The Boy Who Played the Harp, including “Chapter 16” featuring Kano, as Dave continues to cement his position at the forefront of UK rap on a global scale.
The release also comes ahead of Dave’s headline world tour, set to kick off next month. The tour has already sold over 215,000 tickets, including four sold-out nights at London’s O2 Arena, underscoring his growing global reach.
With its infectious groove, chart momentum, and now a striking visual to match, “Raindance” continues its run as one of the most defining collaborations of the year.
