JAKARTA - Grammy Award-winning singer Ed Sheeran duets with Nigerian musician Fireboy DML for the single Peru remix. Fireboy DM's song was released in July 2021. The single and video were released weeks before Fireboy embarked on Apollo's inaugural US tour in February.
Peru continues to make its mark on charts worldwide and has over 75 million streams and is the second most streamed song in Nigeria. The original song peaked on the UK's official Afrobeats chart and #1 on Apple's Top 100 in Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, Tanzania, and more.
Introduced to rhythmic percussion, the single features Peruvian lyrics, Para. Quoted from ANTARA, Monday, February 7, Fireboy tells the story of a woman who constantly catches his eye as he travels from Jozi, Miami to San Francisco.
With visuals directed by Gabriella Kingsley, Fireboy and Sheeran meet at a warehouse party in London as Sheeran steps down the stairs singing, “pour up the bottle I wanna level up. When I'm with you I never get enough. Slow whine, I'm not in a rush” influences the entire dancehall through his signature vocals.
Throughout the video, the two give each other positive energy to create an unusual and charming duo. "It's a dream knowing Ed Sheeran is a fan of my music and he's joining in for a song that's inspired me to travel the world," said Fireboy DML.
"This is not only an exciting moment for me, but also for Afrobeats. I hope this is the first of many collaborations with Ed and other artists around the world, and I can't wait for everyone to enjoy this song over the holidays," he said.
