Speaking on the ballad, Chike says: “I came to believe over time that my journey, not just as an artist but as a person, depends on God’s say-so. Man tries to play God, maybe to attain a certain level of finality, but I have come to see that the will of man is inconsequential after events play out, and I see how far away from man’s will they go. I am confident in my beliefs and think it is okay to challenge imposing thoughts.”

Through this single off his forthcoming album ‘Son of Chike’, Chike pays homage to the past while forging a path forward, reminding us of the grace of embracing our humanity and recognizing the ultimate sovereignty of God’s will.
