Nigerian artists Spyro and Shoday join forces on “Sweet,” a breezy Afro-pop single that arrives fully formed after going viral on TikTok — racking up over 500,000 user generated videos before its official release today.

Built on mellow percussion, and a nostalgic bounce, “Sweet” finds both artists trading verses that feel light, playful, and deeply rooted in Nigeria’s evolving pop vocabulary. Spyro, known for his feel-good, women positivity tinged pop style, balances well with Shoday’s subtle charisma and street credibility resulting in a song that’s as easy to move to as it is to get stuck in your head.

While much of Afro-pop in 2025 leans into maximalism, “Sweet” stands out by keeping things simple it’s music that doesn’t try too hard and doesn’t need to. Its pre-release virality gives credit to its emotional stickiness, and its official drop only confirms what fans already knew: some songs just land at the right time.
