In a long-awaited reunion of Nigeria’s most beloved vocal pair, Simi and Chike have delivered a stunning new masterpiece titled “Where You Dey.” Arriving five years after their record-breaking hit “Running (To You),” this 2026 collaboration proves that their artistic chemistry is truly timeless, offering a record that is as emotionally rich as it is musically refined.
The song moves with a gentle, mid-tempo Highlife and R&B pulse, crafted by long-time collaborator DeeYasso. Rather than leaning into grand romantic gestures, “Where You Dey” focuses on the beauty of emotional presence and the simple act of “showing up.” Simi’s signature crystal-clear tone pairs flawlessly with Chike’s warm, soulful baritone, creating a vocal blend that feels effortless and deeply intimate. The lyrics highlight the everyday check-ins and steady reassurance that sustain real-world relationships in a fast-paced world.
Behind the scenes, the track holds significant personal meaning. Simi recently shared that she overcame physical health challenges to bring this project to life, even handling the mixing and mastering herself to ensure it captured the exact feeling she envisioned. The result is a graceful, elegant duet that stands out in a chart landscape often dominated by high-energy club tracks, reaffirming both artists as the undisputed royalty of African romantic music.
