A playful mix of Afro-pop bounce and club-ready rhythm sets the stage for one of D’banj’s most iconic records. “Oliver Twist” turns curiosity, temptation, and desire into a catchy anthem, built around the idea of always wanting “more.” The lyrics are fun, mischievous, and delivered with that confident charm D’banj is known for, as he name-drops celebrities and jokes about not being satisfied with just one choice.
The hook is easy to chant, the verses glide with lighthearted storytelling, and the entire record thrives on youthful excitement.
I have a confession
Don't take it personal
I have a confession
So you got to listen
I have a confession
Don't take it personal
I said, I have a confession
So you got to listen
See I like Beyonce, but she dey with Jigga
I like Nicki, her yansh is bigger
I like Rihanna, she dey make me day go gaga
I like Omotola cause people like her
I like Genevieve, I think that she's so sweet
And Nadia Buhari, cause she no dey drink garri
It's not her fault you know
You cannot blame me though
I wanna have them all
I know it's wrong but the truth is that
I am just an Oliver
(Oliver, Oliver, Oliver Twist)
Just an Oliver
(Oliver, Oliver, Oliver Twist)
See, I'm just an Oliver
(Oliver, Oliver, Oliver Twist)
I'm just an Oliver
(Oliver, Oliver, Oliver Twist)

You got a secret
But I think I know it
You wanna let it out
But they go call you ashy
You like to do it
Do the hm-hm, hm-hm
I know you like D'banj
And you like Don Jazzy
You like ItuBaba
And you like Fally Pupa
And I know you love Trey Songz
But you no fit sing his songs
I thought as much you know
I do not blame you though
You wanna have them all
You know it's wrong
But the truth is that
You're just an Oliver
(Oliver, Oliver, Oliver Twist)
You're just an Oliver
(Oliver, Oliver, Oliver Twist)
You're just an Oliver
(Oliver, Oliver, Oliver Twist)
You're just an Oliver
(Oliver, Oliver, Oliver Twist)
