Love Nwantiti was released in 2019 by Nigerian singer and producer CKay and first appeared on his CKay the First EP. Remixes in 2020 helped it spread beyond Nigeria, but in 2021 short clips of the chorus exploded on TikTok through dance challenges and romantic edits. The sound reached charts in many countries and became one of the first Afrobeats songs to achieve truly global viral success. Its soft hook remains instantly linked to TikTok transitions, crush edits and the early 2020s wave of Afrobeats crossing into mainstream pop culture worldwide.
About this sound
Chorus clip from CKay's Love Nwantiti, the Nigerian Afrobeats hit that went viral on TikTok worldwide and is used in romantic and dance edits.
This is the smooth, catchy chorus from Love Nwantiti, sung in a soft, melodic voice over a laid back Afrobeats groove with gentle percussion and warm synths. The singer repeats the title phrase in a relaxed, romantic delivery that feels instantly familiar even on first listen. The clip loops easily and creates a dreamy, affectionate mood, which is why a short section became so recognisable online. It works as a musical punchline for love, attraction and slow motion moments, turning an ordinary scene into something sweet, stylish and slightly playful for viewers.
