Four-time GRAMMY® nominee and Afrobeats heavyweight Davido has unveiled the official music video for “With You,” his acclaimed collaboration with Omah Lay. The visual arrives as a vibrant extension of the record’s emotional core, blending expressive storytelling with celebratory moments that reflect the song’s central theme: love in all its intensity and vulnerability.
Directed by longtime collaborator Dammy Twitch, the “With You” video captures the spirit of connection through richly textured, atmospheric scenes. Set against a backdrop of modern romance and emotional tension, the visual follows Davido and Omah Lay as they navigate passion, pursuit, and intimacy — revealing both the chaos and beauty that come with opening one’s heart. The result is cinematic, expressive, and deeply in tune with the song’s mood.
The release comes on the heels of a landmark moment in Davido’s career. Earlier this year, his fifth studio album 5IVE debuted at No. 7 on the Official UK Albums Chart, marking the highest chart position of his career in the UK. From the project, “With You” quickly emerged as a fan favourite and currently sits at No. 1 on the Official UK Afrobeat Chart, solidifying its status as the hottest Afrobeats record in the country.
Beyond the charts, the song has become a social media phenomenon, generating over 2.5 million creations on TikTok. Its origin story is just as organic as its impact. While streaming live with Kai Cenat in Nigeria, Davido was seen playing Omah Lay’s music in his car — a moment that went viral. What followed was a flurry of tweets and conversations that sparked their first-ever collaboration.
“Funny enough, you’d think Davido and Omah Lay wouldn’t connect like that — I’m very out there, he’s super chill,” Davido shared. “But from our first phone call, we talked for like 40 minutes. When he came to Paris Fashion Week, we properly connected — it just made sense.” After some creative back-and-forth, Omah Lay sent in his verse, and the record quickly came together. “The first time I played it, it captivated me immediately,” Davido added. “It’s one of those records that just hits.”
Produced by Nigerian hitmaker Tempoe, “With You” fuses Omah Lay’s soulful calm with Davido’s signature energy. Rooted in Afrobeats but unbound by genre, the track stands as a testament to spontaneity, mutual respect, and undeniable creative chemistry.
