Lagos Love by Tems – Lyrics

Lagos Love is a standout track from Tems’ surprise EP Love Is a Kingdom, released on November 21, 2025. The song layers her warm, intimate vocals over a minimal production of soft basslines, scattered percussion, and hazy synths, creating a deeply personal atmosphere.

Through the lyrics, Tems reflects on love rooted in her hometown of Lagos, drawing on both the city’s restless energy and a sense of emotional grounding. As part of an EP that explores self-love, vulnerability, and devotion, “Lagos Love” captures a delicate balance between external chaos and inner peace.

Lagos Love by Tems – Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah, mm

[Verse 1]
How many days in a month are you thinkin’ of me?
By you, say it, baby, don’t be easy on me
Baby, calm down, clear your mind, let me know you want me
I need you to show me, show me how you love me

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m already flyin’, already flyin’, already flying, yeah, bye
I no dey, you fallin’ in and you fallin’ over, you runnin’ over
Come in, yeah, you’re coming with me, we takin’ over, we takin’ over
The fire is starting, fire is starting, hey-yeah

[Chorus]
Giving me attention, what is your intention?
Do you just want attention?
Is it a connection? Or is it a lesson? Tell mе
We’re doing my way, anything that I say
‘Cause I know it’s worth it
If you’rе gonna love me, love me in the right way, yeah-yeah

When I’m all alone, wanna feel you, see

Wanna be where I can feel you
Ain’t nobody but me gonna love you, babe
Any other thing isn’t for you, babe (‘Cause you’re the only one for me)
