The five-time Grammy-nominated artist first teased the track on social media on February 26, 2025, before officially releasing it on March 14. Be There Still blends an uptempo Amapiano log drum rhythm with a mix of Pidgin and English, reaffirming Davido’s status as a dominant force in the music industry.
The single precedes the release of 5ive, which is set to drop on April 18. This year has already been eventful for Davido, who secured his fifth Grammy nomination at the 67th Grammy Awards for Best African Song Performance with his feature on Chris Brown’s Sensational.
Additionally, Davido has been nominated in five categories at the upcoming 17th Headies Awards, including Artist of the Year—further cementing his legacy as one of the most decorated artists in the award show’s history.
Ahead of the album release, Davido has already dropped two singles: Awuke, featuring Jamaican Dancehall artist YG Marley, and Funds, which sees him team up with Chike and OdumoduBlvck.
In a social media post announcing 5ive, Davido described the project as one “straight from the heart.” The album is also expected to feature a collaboration with Nigerian sensation Omah Lay, who recently described their song as a “perfect partnership.” Adekunle Gold has also teased a possible guest appearance, adding to the anticipation surrounding the follow-up to Davido’s record-breaking fourth album, Timeless.
