Africa was released by Toto in 1982 as a single from their album Toto IV, and it reached number one in the United States. Written by David Paich and Jeff Porcaro, the song became one of the band's defining hits and a staple of classic rock radio for decades. In the 2010s it found a second life online through covers, remixes and countless memes, with its chorus becoming shorthand for nostalgia, adventure and dramatic irony. That lasting familiarity keeps the clip instantly recognisable in edits today.
