Song by Ayra Starr

Ayra Starr’s “Birds Sing of Money” is an audacious and self-assured reintroduction opening track to her album “The Year I Turned 21”. It is about her evolution into global stardom, beginning with a traditional Yoruba oríkì (praise poetry) before transitioning into a modern Afropop beat. The song confidently declares her success and ambition, with lyrics like “money makes the rain come” asserting her power.
