Ija

Song by Ayra Starr

3 mins • 2020

Ayra Starr’s song “Ija” explores the dynamics of a relationship with intermittent conflict, as the title “Ija” means “fight” or “conflict” in Yoruba. Over a moody, mid-tempo beat, the lyrics describe a partner’s desire, often expressed playfully and flirtatiously, which is contrasted with their tendency to start arguments. Despite the occasional tension, Ayra Starr conveys a deep sense of devotion by showing a willingness to make things work.
