Davido was also recently nominated in 5 categories, including the Artist of the Year at the upcoming 17th Headies,which extends his record as one of the most decorated artists in the awards history.

‘5ive’ is also expected to feature a collaboration with Nigerian superstar Omah Lay, who, in an interview, revealed that the song is a perfect partnership.

Adekunle Gold also recently teased a possible guest appearance on the album, which Davido and his fans will expect to follow in the footsteps of his record-breaking fourth album ‘Timeless.’

Ahead of the album release, Davido has released two singles ‘Awuke‘ featuring Jamaican Dancehall sensation YG Marley, and ‘Funds’ featuring Chike and OdumoduBlvck.

In the social media post announcing his next album, the hitmaker described it as one straight from the heart.
