Nigerian singer-songwriter Kizz Daniel has dropped a brand new track titled “Too Busy To Be Bae,” and it’s quickly gaining traction for its infectious rhythm and relatable lyrics. This song delves into the complexities of modern relationships, where individuals are often caught between chasing their dreams and maintaining romantic connections.
From the very first line, “When I go girl I no go return,” Daniel sets the tone for a song about commitment-phobic individuals. He compares relationships to a job, stating, “Relationship be like job/And I no get CV at all,” highlighting the lack of qualifications for navigating the intricacies of love.
The chorus, catchy and repetitive, drives home the song’s central theme: “Some of us too busy to be bae/Too busy to be somebody baby.” This statement resonates with many, especially in today’s fast-paced world where ambition and self-discovery often take precedence over romantic entanglements.
However, the song goes beyond simply stating the desire for freedom. Lines like “My head dey hot/My brain dey touch/Dey don use me paa” hint at past experiences that have led to disillusionment and a cautious approach to new relationships.
Despite the song’s focus on independence and ambition, there are hints of vulnerability. The line “My presence is dulling/Stop playing” suggests a longing for connection, even if fleeting. Similarly, the lyrics “Asiko nlo bi money/If no be Jesus is coming/I no won born again” imply a desire to make the most of the present moment, even at the risk of missing out on deeper connections.
Overall, “Too Busy To Be Bae” is a catchy and thought-provoking song that captures the complexities of modern relationships. While the lyrics celebrate individual freedom and ambition, they also hint at the underlying human desire for love and connection. This duality makes the song relatable to a wide audience, ensuring its continued success.
