Nigeria: Ayra Starr releases new single Where Do We Go

The track, issued through Mavin Records, was produced by ILY​A and blends Afropop rhythms with upbeat percussion and bass-driven instrumentation. The song explores themes surrounding romantic relationships, with Ayra Starr delivering vocals over an up-tempo production.

‘Where Do We Go’ follows the release of ‘Who’s Dat Girl’, a collaboration with Nigerian artist Rema that was released in October last year.

Ayra Starr, who has received two nominations at the Grammy Awards and multiple honours at the MOBO Awards, has seen significant global growth in recent years. Her music catalogue has accumulated more than seven billion streams across platforms and over one billion views on YouTube.

Among her widely recognised releases is Rush, which has surpassed 500 million streams on Spotify. The milestone made her the first African female artist to have two songs exceed 500 million streams on the platform.

She also received a nomination in the Best African Music Performance category at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards for the single Gimme Dat featuring Wizkid. In the same period, she won two MOBO Awards and was named Best African Music Act, becoming the first female artist in 16 years to win the category. She also received the Best International Act award at the BET Awards..
