“Onyeka” by Burna Boy is a smooth, romantic groove that blends Afro-fusion warmth with highlife nostalgia. Named after the legendary Nigerian singer Onyeka Onwenu, the track feels like a love letter, easygoing, sincere, and full of rhythm. Burna’s vocals glide effortlessly over soft guitar chords and mellow percussion, creating a sound that’s both modern and timeless.
Lyrically, he’s in his lover-boy element, praising his woman with charm and subtle swagger. The simplicity of the song makes it even more magnetic, with no heavy lyrics, just pure emotion wrapped in melody.
