Released in November 2019, Wake Up serves as the first track on Zlatan’s 17-song debut album, Zanku. The track leans on a mid-tempo Afro-pop beat, giving Zlatan room to switch between melodic gratitude and candid lyrical flow.
He also references parental prayers as a core reason for his success, highlighting the cultural significance of family support in Nigerian society. In his verses, Zlatan balances humble reflections about his journey with braggadocio about making it, talking about hustle, successes, and fresh beginnings, while still maintaining faith as a cornerstone
