In a recent interview with BBC 1Xtra, Tems provided a fascinating glimpse into the genesis of ‘Me & U.’ She revealed that this melodic gem was born from an impromptu freestyling session she recorded in 2021, a mere few days after the filming of the music video for ‘Essence,’ her chart-topping collaboration with the iconic artist, Wizkid.

Notably, Tems, as the first Nigerian female artist to clinch a coveted Grammy award, shared her profound insights into ‘Me & U.’ She described this R&B-infused masterpiece, accentuated by the enchanting Amapiano Log drums, as a poignant conversation with the divine. Through the song, she conveys the symbolism of God’s enduring presence in her life since childhood, guiding her on the transformative journey that led her to her true artistic self.

‘Me & U’ serves as a tantalizing prelude to Tems’ highly anticipated debut LP, setting the stage for what promises to be an exceptional musical endeavor.

This gifted singer has not only achieved massive international success but has also etched her name in the annals of history as the first Nigerian artist to debut at the pinnacle of the Billboard Hot 100, courtesy of her collaboration with Future on ‘Wait For U.’ Furthermore, she’s made history as the first Nigerian artist to receive an Oscar nomination for her contributions to Rihanna’s ‘Lift Me Up,’ featured on the ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ soundtrack.
