Sarkodie – Do You Ft. Mr Eazi [Song Breakdown] – Ghana/Nigeria
Do You is track 4 on Sarkodie’s Black Love album, released December 20, 2019, and it’s one of the album’s most streamed singles thanks to the Sarkodie x Mr Eazi pairing. Produced by GuiltyBeatz, the song runs 3:23 and rides on a mellow Afrobeats instrumental with soft guitar, airy pads, and a laid-back drum pattern that gives it a late-night, reflective feel. Sarkodie opens with verses in Twi and English, questioning an old flame about lingering feelings, while Mr Eazi handles the hook with his signature sing-song delivery, asking “Baby do you ever think of me anymore?”
Lyrically, the track deals with post-breakup nostalgia and the uncertainty of whether love still lingers after things end. Sarkodie reflects on memories of planning a future together, asking if she misses the intimacy and connection they had. Mr Eazi’s chorus amplifies that sentiment with a simple, repetitive question that sticks in your head, making it easy for listeners to sing along. It’s not overly dramatic, but it captures that quiet, what-if feeling that comes after a relationship fades.
On Black Love, Do You served as the third single before the album dropped and helped push the project’s romantic, Afrobeats-focused direction. The music video, directed by Capone and Guise, shows couples in intimate moments, reinforcing the song’s theme of love and longing. It performed well across Ghana, Nigeria, and the diaspora, becoming a playlist staple for fans of melodic Afrobeats. The collaboration works because Sarkodie’s rap-sing style complements Mr Eazi’s calm, melodic tone without either overshadowing the other.
