Wizkid – Soji

Soji is track 12 on Wizkid’s Morayo album, released November 22, 2024, and it’s one of the shorter, more energetic cuts on the project. Produced by P.Priime and written with Peace Oredope, the song runs 2:38 and sits on a bouncy Afrobeats instrumental with crisp percussion, light guitar stabs, and a playful rhythm that leans into dancefloor energy. Wizkid’s delivery is smooth and confident, switching between English and Yoruba with a relaxed flow that makes the track feel effortless.

Lyrically, Soji is lighthearted and flirtatious, with “Soji” meaning “wake up” in Yoruba. Wizkid uses it as a call to his love interest, urging her to wake up and live in the moment with him. Unlike the heavier, grief-tinged tracks earlier on Morayo, this one brings the mood back up, acting as a moment of release and fun. The hook is catchy and repetitive, built for clubs and social media clips, and it fits right into Wizkid’s catalog of songs that balance melody with rhythm without overcomplicating the message.

On Morayo, Soji works as a reset after the emotional weight of Bad For You, shifting the album back toward celebration and movement. It wasn’t pushed as a single, but it’s become a fan favorite for its replay value and energy, performing well on Afrobeats playlists in Nigeria, Ghana, and the UK. The production from P.Priime gives it a clean, modern sound that contrasts with some of the more R&B-leaning tracks on the record.
