Day One: A Story of Loyalty, Love, and Holding It Down!
If you’ve ever had that one person who’s stuck by you from the start—through all the ups and downs—then my favorite track “Day One” is going to hit you right in the feels. This isn’t just another love song. It’s an anthem for anyone who knows what it’s like to have a ride-or-die by their side, and it’s about giving gratitude to that special someone who never wavered.
The Spark Behind “Day One”
Every great song comes from a real place, and for “Day One,” it’s no different. I didn’t just wake up one day and write a song about love; this track was born from the real moments—the struggles, the victories, and all those times when I felt like my back was against the wall, but someone was always there, quietly supporting me.
The heart of the song is that feeling of having someone in your softerst corner, no matter how dark the days get. From the first note, I have tried pouring out my gratitude to that one person who stayed, who believed in me when no one else did. The lyrics talk about a story that I see myself into, but it would also resonate with anyone who has ever had that one person since day one in their life. When it came to the music itself, the goal was clear: capture the emotion of the lyrics while making sure the beat keeps you moving. Afrobeat, with its mix of rhythm and soul, was the natural choice to carry the weight of the message. It’s upbeat but smooth, with a pulse that mirrors the heartbeat of someone who’s been through it all.
The acoustic guitar that introduces the track brings in a sense of calm, almost like you’re sitting with a loved one, reflecting on everything you’ve been through. And then, as the beat drops, you feel the full weight of the story—struggles met with loyalty, and hardship overcome by love.
Realness in Every Word
From the very first verse, I have always fought my way through the tough times:
“When I was broke, I had no money o, she kept me on the low.”
This line isn’t just a lyric—it’s a window into those moments when life wasn’t easy, but my love was always present. And that’s what makes “Day One” so relatable. It’s not about flashy promises or romanticized versions of life. It’s about the real ones—the people who don’t leave when things get hard, who are there even when the spotlight fades. Recording “Day One” wasn’t just about laying down vocals; it was about creating a vibe, with my special one. Writing this song was a mix of deep reflection and pure joy. The energy was absolutely right, the vibe was flowing, and I knew this song had to be special. When the last note was played, and the track was mixed and ready, I knew I’ve created something that everyone could relate to. “Day One” isn’t just a song—it’s an experience. It’s a reminder that no matter where you are in life, there’s someone who’s been there, holding you, cheering for you, praying for you and even smiling tears just to see you succeed, all this since Day One!.
So when you listen to “Day One,” let it remind you of your own journey and the people who have been there through thick and thin. Blast it loud, and don’t forget to send it to your Special One since your Day One, because this is a song for them as much as it is for you.
