Omawumi’s song “Dolapo” from her 2017 album Timeless is a playful heartbreak song where she addresses her husband’s ex, “Dolapo”, acknowledging her as the “other woman” but eventually celebrating her own win in the relationship.
It has lyrics showing her seeing Dolapo trying to win him back, but realizing she’s no match for Omawumi’s love. The song features live instrumentation, jazz influences, and tells a story of rivalry and triumph with a touch of humor.

chorus
I can see Dolapo
Trying to be friends with you
From the look in her eyes, I can tell that she's into you
And if you ever
Think that crickets never cry at night
Or that shadows only show in light
Then you're bad at reading sings
I can see Dolapo
Trying to pretend to me
But from the way that she smiles
I can tell that she's lying to me
And do I wonder
Do you see what you decide to see?
Or is this your way of blinding me?
verse
You can do better than that!
Listen
And if you think that I do not notice
All the guiles and the games that you play
Think it twice
'Cause baby I'm no novice
And you might find it out the hard way
hook
I can see Dolapo
Slowly tearing us apart
And from the way that it looks
Someone's bound to have a broken heart
Try to remember, baby
That my love deserves much more than this
Don't betray it for a simple kiss
verse
You can do better than that
And if you think that I do not notice
All the guiles and the games that you play
Think am twice
'Cause baby I'm no novice
And you might find it out the hard way
chorus
Oh, I am seeing Dolapo
Walking down the aisle with you
And if you think that she's true
Na een be say you be big mumu
Sometimes I wonder
About all the pain that you put me through
