Simi, widely regarded as a leading voice in alternative Afropop, delivers her signature warmth and clarity, while Chike, often called the “Boo of the Booless,” brings his unmistakable soulful depth. Their chemistry is effortless, creating a duet that feels intimate, refined, and deeply authentic.

The song is produced by longtime collaborator DeeYasso, who builds a lush mid tempo soundscape inspired by highlife and R and B. Soft guitar lines, smooth percussion, and a steady groove allow the vocals to breathe and shine. Simi’s bright tone pairs perfectly with Chike’s rich baritone, especially in the chorus where their harmonies feel natural and emotionally powerful.

Lyrically, “Where You Dey” focuses on longing, presence, and emotional availability in a fast paced world. Instead of relying on predictable romance tropes, the song highlights the everyday acts that sustain real love such as checking in, being present, and choosing each other consistently. Simi brings wit and relatability, while Chike adds depth and sincere lover energy.

At a time when the charts are dominated by high energy solo releases, “Where You Dey” stands out as a graceful return to the art of the classic Nigerian love duet. Calm, elegant, and emotionally rich, the song feels destined for wedding playlists and romantic soundtracks throughout 2026.

With this release, Simi and Chike do more than drop another love song. They reaffirm their place as royalty in Nigerian romantic music and remind listeners why their collaborations remain timeless and unmatched.
