Tems has shared a new single, 'Love Me Jeje'
Tems pays homage to Nigerian music legend Seyi Sodimu with her heartfelt new single 'Love Me Jeje,' featured on her upcoming debut album 'Born In The Wild.'
Tems has unveiled her new single 'Love Me Jeje,' a heartfelt composition that nods to Nigerian icon Seyi Sodimu and a precursor to her eagerly awaited debut album, 'Born In The Wild.'
'Love Me Jeje' was penned by Tems herself and produced by GuiltyBeatz and Spax, known for their work with top-tier artists like WizKid and Burna Boy. The song cleverly interpolates the 1997 Nigerian hit by Sodimu, blending the nostalgic lyrics "Love me JeJe, love me tender" with new, affectionate narratives of enduring love.

The single was first teased during Tems' inaugural performance at Coachella earlier this month, where she was joined on stage by Justin Bieber and WizKid for their chart-topping 'Essence (Remix).' Later, Tems expressed on social media that 'Love Me Jeje' serves as a "tribute" to Sodimu, celebrating his influence and her own roots.
