About This Track

'Hello Habibi' finds Olamide in a mode of unabashed luxury and devotion. The track builds around a hypnotic chorus that repeats its title like a mantra, mixing Arabic greetings with promises of material excess: Dubai trips, high-end shopping, designer goods. It is a love song written in the language of wealth, where affection and spending are inseparable. The production weaves percussion, sitars, harps, and Arabian flutes into a layered instrumental that mirrors the song's cultural and geographical reach. Olamide's verse delivers a confident account of his lifestyle, moving between boasts about money and reassurances to his subject that she need never worry. The tone is playful rather than aggressive, the whole thing pitched as a transaction of pleasure rather than power.

"Hello Habibi" is a track by Olamide, from the album Ikigai / 生き甲斐, Vol. 1, released 27th June 2024. Full lyrics are available below.
