Afrobeats queen and global superstar Tiwa Savage has thrilled fans yet again with the release of her brand-new single, ‘You4Me’, dropped on April 23, 2025.
The song, which creatively samples Tamia’s R&B classic ‘Into You’, effortlessly blends old-school nostalgia with a modern twist, showcasing Tiwa’s versatility as a singer and musical innovator.
Describing the track’s vibe, fans have noted its dreamy melodies and subtle tribute to early-2000s R&B, with Tiwa’s signature vocals breathing fresh life into the familiar tune.
“There’s something magical about mixing past emotions with present sounds,” Tiwa said during an exclusive digital press chat. “This track is for those who remember the classics but still live in today’s rhythm.”
‘You4Me’ is part of Tiwa’s growing 2025 catalog and follows closely behind her recent release, ‘Commitment’, where she collaborated with UK R&B legend Craig David.
Their duet, hailed for its smooth harmonies and emotional range, was widely praised for blending Afro-fusion and British soul influences. For fans, the collaboration was a nostalgic callback to David’s early 2000s hits like ‘7 Days’ and ‘Walking Away’, now reimagined with Tiwa’s irresistible Afro-soul touch.
Industry analysts believe both tracks are laying the groundwork for what could be her most R&B-inspired project yet.
This string of releases points toward an exciting new direction for Tiwa’s forthcoming album. With both ‘Commitment’ and ‘You4Me’ leaning heavily into R&B textures, listeners are eagerly anticipating what the full body of work will offer.
“I’ve always loved R&B — it’s part of who I am,” Tiwa shared. “This album is about going back to my roots but doing it with the confidence and flavor I’ve developed over the years.”
Her ability to reinvent herself without losing her core identity is one of the reasons she remains a defining figure in Nigerian music and beyond.
The singer’s creative momentum comes shortly after a major personal achievement — being honored with the Media Icon Award by Forbes Africa.
The accolade adds to a long list of milestones in her career, recognizing not just her music but her cultural impact and leadership. Forbes described her as “a force of influence who has shaped the global perception of African music.”
For Tiwa, the award is both a celebration and a challenge. “It’s a beautiful thing to be recognized, but it also reminds me of how much more I want to give to this space,” she said in response to the honor.
Tiwa Savage’s career, which spans over a decade, has been nothing short of groundbreaking. From topping charts to representing Africa on global stages, she has remained consistent in her art and advocacy.
One of her proudest moments came in 2023, when she became the first Nigerian artist to perform at a British Royal Coronation, representing the continent at the crowning of King Charles III.
The performance was not just historic — it was symbolic of how far African artists, especially women, have come.
As 2025 unfolds, Tiwa Savage continues to prove why she remains at the top of her game — a star who isn’t just making music, but making history.
