Love Nwantiti

Released in 2019 as the second single from his EP Ckay the First, this track introduced a distinct lo-fi aesthetic that would soon dominate global streaming charts. The song, produced by CKay and Tempoe, blends smooth rhythms with a minimalist hook that translates roughly to "I want love." While the original version circulated quietly on platforms like AudioMack, its trajectory changed entirely after a TikTok dance challenge sparked in late 2020.

The viral momentum led to an official remix featuring Joeboy and Kuami Eugene, which propelled the song into international markets. By March 2022, the track achieved a historic milestone by topping the inaugural Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart. This success marked a turning point for Nigerian solo artists, proving that local sounds could capture worldwide attention without compromising cultural identity.

In December 2025, the song surpassed one billion streams on Spotify, becoming the first solo Nigerian track to reach this figure. Producer Tempoe received a Billion Streams plaque for the project in August 2026. The track's enduring popularity stems from its simple yet infectious chorus, which has been adopted in countless covers and social media videos worldwide. [edit]
