In “How Are You (My Friend),” Johnny Drille reaches out to his friend, whom he hasn’t spoken to for some time. That simple question, “How are you, my friend?” isn’t just about checking in; it’s also about making sure his friend doesn’t feel unseen and disregarded.
The song is an honest and very relatable track for old lovers and friends, especially for those battling with melancholy over a lost friendship.

I know sometimes e be like say
Nobody send you
That one na lie
I dey for you my friend
Padi no vex for me
Say I never call you since
But I hope that you are well
I hope your market sell
Everyday I dey pray for you
