Davido Explains the Meaning Behind His Upcoming Album ‘5ive’
Afrobeats superstar Davido has finally shared the inspiration behind the title of his much-anticipated fifth studio album, 5ive. Speaking during a Twitch stream with Cruel Santino, the hitmaker revealed that the title is a nod to the fact that this is his fifth album—but there’s more to it than just that.
According to Davido, while 5ive might seem like a simple name, the number 5 holds deeper meaning for those willing to dig into its significance. He hinted that fans who research the number might uncover an even greater connection to the project.
A New Chapter After the ‘Time Trilogy’
Set to drop on April 18, 5ive marks a new era for Davido. It follows his “Time Trilogy”—the three-album run of A Good Time, A Better Time, and Timeless—which saw him break records, dominate charts, and solidify his place as a global Afrobeats icon. Now, he’s turning the page and stepping into fresh creative territory.
New Single ‘Be There Still’ Sets the Tone
To build anticipation for 5ive, Davido recently released a new single, “Be There Still”, on March 14. The track blends Amapiano log drum rhythms with Davido’s signature mix of pidgin and English, setting the stage for what’s to come on the album.
With 5ive just weeks away, fans are eager to see what surprises Davido has in store. One thing’s for sure—he’s gearing up for another groundbreaking moment in Afrobeats.
