Nigerian Afropop heavyweights Ruger and Bnxn (formerly known as Buju) are back at it again, releasing their new collaborative single, “Not Done” – and it’s an explosive ride! The track delivers a fierce blend of attitude and catchy lyrics, sure to get stuck in your head.
The Bitter Truth of Heartbreak
“Not Done” dives into the raw emotions of a messy breakup. The singers are fueled by a mix of heartbreak, resentment, and an underlying desire that keeps them hanging on. The lyrics are a whirlwind, with Ruger and Bnxn lamenting about their ex’s new life and pointedly questioning who is now fulfilling their needs:
“How do you sleep at night without me?” “Who be the guy wey dey sponsor your bill?”
The song isn’t without a touch of braggadocio, though. In classic Afrobeats style, the singers don’t hesitate to flaunt their success and ability to provide a luxurious lifestyle.
Catchy Repetition and Wordplay
“Not Done” gets its title from the recurring message hammered into the listener: “Baby you are not done until I say I’m done with you”
The repetition makes this statement the song’s centerpiece, emphasizing the lingering possessiveness and complicated feelings the artists still hold towards their ex.
The wordplay in the song is sharp, with cleverly delivered lines and a mix of Yoruba and slang giving it a unique flavor.
Is Reconciliation on the Horizon?
“Not Done” leaves listeners with the fiery desire for more. Whether this track will bring closure for Ruger and Bnxn, or ignite further collaborations and even a potential rekindling of the relationship is anyone’s guess.
