Benue-born and purpose-driven, the incredibly gifted artist Ayüü has kicked off a new era with the release of his powerful new single, “SVFI Prayer.” After a period of strategic calculation, the independent star declares he has let go of fear and is finally ready to unleash his arsenal of “bangers,” starting with this divine-inspired track.
The single, produced by the talented Boma, was born from what Ayüü describes as pure magic.
“The biggest inspiration for ‘SVFI Prayer’ would have to be the instrumental. Shout out Boma. I just knew I had to create magic cuz he sent magic,” he shared.
Lyrically, the song is a raw and relatable expression of his current mindset, perfectly encapsulated by the punchline: “JESUS is coming, but first I must ball!” It’s the anthem for the faithful who are also trying to live their best lives. The track is further elevated by an “incredible verse” from his SVFI brother, Mathias.
For fans who have followed Ayüü’s journey since his 2018 debut, this release marks a significant shift. Known for his conceptual projects and critically acclaimed albums like AYÜÜNIVERSE and Mango Juice, and Bad Decisions, Ayüü admits he’s been holding back his hit records.
“I’ve spent so much time calculating and looking for the right time & opportunity to release hit records, but this has only slowed me down,” he confesses. “I usually drop conceptual records or album fillers just so I’m not as hurt if it doesn’t fly, but I’ve let go of control and fear and I’m just doing me.”
With over 15 million streams and headline shows across Nigeria and London under his belt—all without industry backing—Ayüü is a testament to raw talent and persistence. He believes “SVFI Prayer” is the record that will make people realize he’s “really him,” showcasing a range and capability that few artists possess.
He promises this is just the beginning of a consistent run of “back-to-back bangers,” signaling his return to the prolific form he maintained from 2018 to 2022.
“SVFI Prayer” is available now on all digital streaming platforms.
