Afrobeats star Davido has opened up about the impact he hopes his music has on listeners, saying nothing gives him greater satisfaction than knowing his songs encourage people who struggle with confidence and self-belief.
Speaking during an interview with a music platform while breaking down the lyrics of his song I Know Who I Be, the singer said hearing that his music motivates others is one of the most rewarding parts of his career.
"I'm just happy that my music is bringing confidence to people who don't have the motivation," he said.
Davido explained that I Know Who I Be is built around the idea of embracing individuality rather than comparing yourself to others.
According to him, everyone has a different journey, and true confidence comes from accepting and living your own story.
"You can't live my story. You should be confident enough to live your story," he said.
The award-winning singer also highlighted what he believes makes African music unique, noting that even songs with deeply personal or emotional messages are often delivered through energetic, danceable sounds.
Reflecting on the music video for the track, Davido described it as an emotional reminder of how far he and his longtime friends have come.
He recalled the days when they had to secretly leave home to make music and perform, contrasting that period with the present, where they proudly returned to the same location to film a professional music video.
"If you look at the video, the full-circle moment was my guys and me in black suits. Some of my friends and I used to sneak out to do music and perform at shows. Now everybody is proud of me. We are standing in the same place we used to hide in, and now we are shooting a whole music video."
