A heartfelt tenderness runs through this song, revealing a side of D’banj that’s rooted in gratitude and emotional honesty. Iya Mi is his tribute to motherhood, a celebration of the love, sacrifice, and grounding presence that only a mother can give.
The lyrics speak directly from a place of appreciation. D’banj reflects on how far he’s come, acknowledging the prayers, guidance, and resilience his mother poured into him. Every line feels personal, almost like a conversation shared in quiet moments rather than a performance on a stage.

Mummy, Dapo ni o
This track here is dedicated to my mother
I say my mother, not your mother
But if you feel like you can relate to it
You're free to sing along to your Mother
