Nigerian superstar Joeboy has teamed up with street-pop sensation Shoday to release “Ring,” a breezy and enchanting new single that playfully champions the joys of commitment. Marking Joeboy’s first major release since his acclaimed third studio album, Viva Lavida, the track is a heartfelt anthem produced by Echo The Guru, blending shimmering synths with infectious Afro-fusion grooves.
“Ring” effortlessly merges Joeboy’s smooth, emotive falsetto with Shoday’s gritty, charismatic ad-libs, creating a compelling narrative that embraces the “marriage crusade” with both humor and sincerity. The lyrics capture the exhilarating journey of finding “the one”—from playful wife applications to visions of a shared future—all set against a mid-tempo rhythm that evokes both sunlit Lagos escapades and intimate late-night conversations. This collaboration highlights the best of both artists: Joeboy’s gift for crafting relatable love stories meets Shoday’s raw, streetwise energy, resulting in a track that is as flirtatious as it is profound.
Since its release, “Ring” has ignited excitement across social media, with teaser clips gaining rapid traction on TikTok and Instagram. Fans have been quick to dub it the ultimate “settle-down” anthem, celebrating its stripped-back production that allows the vocal chemistry to take center stage. With its relatable theme and vibrant energy, the single is poised to become a staple in Afrobeats’ expanding romantic canon.
