Award-winning hitmaker Asake is setting the tone for an exciting 2025 with the teaser of a brand-new single titled Why Love.
A New Era in Motion
On January 11, 2025, Asake took to his Instagram account to share a snippet of the upcoming track, instantly sparking anticipation among fans.

Fans couldn’t help but notice some changes in Asake’s appearance, including additional tattoos, a leaner physique, and a bold, eccentric fashion statement featuring a ripped T-shirt.
What’s Next for Asake?
The teased single Why Love marks Asake’s first release of 2025, following the music video for Whine featuring Brazilian sensation Ludmilla, a standout track from his third studio album, Lungu Boy.
While many expected Asake to continue promoting hits from Lungu Boy, which showcased his artistic evolution by moving away from the Amapiano-infused sound that propelled his meteoric rise, the singer seems ready to dive headfirst into his next chapter.
Life After YBNL
Speculation about Asake’s relationship with YBNL continues to grow. Though he hasn’t publicly confirmed a split, fans have noticed that he has removed all mentions of the label from his Instagram—a move often signaling a departure.
This development raises curiosity about the label under which his upcoming single will be released. Fans are also wondering what’s in store for the artist as he embarks on a path that could potentially see him establish greater creative and professional independence.
A Promising Future
Asake’s consistent output has been nothing short of remarkable, with three successful albums in as many years. If Why Love is any indication, 2025 is set to be another standout year for the hitmaker.
With a fourth album reportedly on the horizon, Asake continues to push boundaries, cementing his place as one of Nigeria’s most dynamic artists. Fans can only wait in eager anticipation as he prepares to write the next chapter in his illustrious career.
