‘Me & U’ created from freestyle – Tems

Nigerian international music sensation, Tems has revealed that her latest single ‘Me & U’ was born from a freestyling session she recorded in 2021.

In an interview with BBC 1Xtra, Tems said she did the freestyle days after shooting the music video for ‘Essence’, her smash hit collaboration with Wizkid.

According to Tems, the R&B single fused with Amapiano Log drums is a conversation with God. The singer shared that the music symbolizes God’s presence in her life since childhood, guiding her journey to becoming who she is meant to be.

Since enjoying international success in 2020, Tems has become one of Nigeria’s foremost music exports with her exploits winning her multiple awards and millions of fans.
