“Mary” isn’t about the biblical Mary, but Seyi Shay’s version might as well be sacred. Released in 2015 on her debut album “Seyi or Shay”, this Afro-trap club anthem features Phyno and was produced by Otee Beats. The song celebrates a woman whose vibrant personality commands every room. Inspired by a bold-spirited friend, Seyi Shay and Phyno playfully question why Mary has such a profound effect on them, describing feelings of red eyes and spinning heads.
